文の組み立て
文は文の組み立てがあれば書けるのだが、どこまで組み立てるのかというと、章、節、項の項まで決めないと書けない。大体1章1.5万字。1章を3節くらいで書く。すると1節5千字。1節を3項で書くと1項1.5千字から2千字。A4縦書き(37字×35行）2枚くらいとなるのだが、一つのトピックでこのくらい書くのが僕には丁度いい。なるべくOREO（Opinion、Reason、Example、Opinion)という書き方をしようとするが、このアメリカ流はやや情緒に欠ける感もあってここぞという時はこれにして起承転結もおりまぜている。A sentence can be written if it has a sentence structure, but how far you have to go to build it, you have to decide on chapters, sections, and even paragraphs. A chapter is roughly 15,000 letters, and a chapter is written in about three sections. If I write a chapter with three sections, I can write 1,500 to 2,000 letters per section, which is about two A4 pages (37 characters x 35 lines) vertically. I try to write OREO (Opinion, Reason, Example, Opinion) style as much as possible, but I feel that this American style is a bit lacking in emotion, so I use this style when the occasion calls for it, and I also mix in an introduction, development, twist, conclusion Japese style.
