Journal #12: simplifying writing

Rules for simplifying writing:
-keep sentences in active voice where the subject is doing the action.
-using too many words is one of the most common mistakes made.
-remove unneeded words and shorten phrases.

Simplified sentences:
1. He dropped out of school to sleep support his family.
2. The bus company should announce the new schedule soon.
3. There are many ways for students to meet foreign students.
4. It is rare to find someone who has never purposely lied.
5. People cause trouble when they break rules.
