所謂的 Specific terms 指的就是文章中的一些細節，專有名詞等等

讓我們先看一段範例文章：

 

Even in the absence of samples from the surface of Mars, a good deal can be inferred about its bulk composition, Its density, for example, is only 70 percent the density of the earth. Presumably Mars was formed in a region of the solar nebula that was cool enough to allow the condensation of compounds incorporating a wide variety of elements. The planet is probably well supplied with minerals containing combinations of magnesium, iron, silicon and oxygen (ferromagnesian silicates), and combinations of iron and sulfur (troilite). There may also be some free iron. Because Mars formed in a cooler region of the solar nebula than the earth did. however, more of its iron combined with other elements and less is in the form of metallic iron. This difference may explain why Mars has a lower density than the earth. Temperature conditions also favored the formation of some water-bearing silicate materials. In addition to these more abundant materials, Mars contains compounds incorporating small amounts of the long-lived radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium, and potassium.

文章中介紹了許多火星上的元素，這些元素就是所謂的特定名詞

我們在做表達時常常說的一句話「A picture is worth 1,000 words」

這是在說一張好的圖對於溝通所帶來的巨大價值

在這裡，我也要說，文章中的一些特定名詞，它在溝通上的價值也不下於一張圖

 

畢竟我們在閱讀一段文字時，就是希望能吸收到資訊

因此不能像老是像寫摘要一樣，只有大重點，卻沒有細節

在文章中使用特定名詞，描繪出具體的細節，這會讓文章更具有可讀性！

 

(但是許多學生寫論文時很愛賣弄專有名詞，但如果只是雜亂地提到這些名詞，卻沒有邏輯架構，這樣的文章還是不及格的！)
