Into the book
I soon discovered that the amateur writing I learned in school was woefully inadequate for the professional writing required in the workplace.
In 1994, when the North Korean nuclear issue was at a critical point, I was assigned to the Korean Embassy in Austria as a science officer.
Ambassador Lee Si-young (former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador to the UN, former President of Jeonju University), who was known for his writing skills even within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time, was working here.
This person changed the document I wrote in two chapters to red and shortened it to about half a page.

I wrote the report in chronological order, but I changed the dialogue to summarize the important points concisely so that the reader can see the key points at a glance.
Thanks to the harsh reprimands that followed each revision, I was able to learn the art of writing at work in a relatively short period of time.

The 'prep paragraph' is the most suitable structure for writing paragraphs logically and argumentatively.
It is to support the claim/topic (P) with a logical explanation of the 'reason/method' (R) as the basis and prove it by presenting 'examples/data/facts/expert opinions' (E) so that the eyes can confirm it specifically.
Finally, by 're-emphasizing the claim/topic (P´)', the prep paragraph can be said to have a structure with perfect logic and argument.

--- p.66

There is a 'One Sentence, One Idea' principle that states that a sentence should contain only one idea.
The more important the information, the more likely it is that there will be only one thought per sentence, making it easier for readers to understand it accurately.
Moreover, if the sentences are short, the reader can understand them concisely.
With just one sentence, you can implement the 3C (Clear, Correct, Concise) principle that modern writing aims for: easy to understand, accurate, and concise.
Because of this effect, short sentences have a strong communication power.

--- p.99

The information provided varies depending on 'who the reader is'.
So, when writing, the first thing to do is to define your readers.
Whatever information readers need, the three most important things they commonly want to know are the core information set of 'What', 'Why', and 'How'.
Here, 'therefore' is often added.
Even the thickest book can be summarized in four lines.
What is it? Why? How? So, the bottom line? These pieces of information are the most important, and everything else is secondary.
These four pieces of information correspond to the P(what), R(why/how), and P(therefore) of the prep.

--- p.131

The structure of the proposal is also a 'prep structure format', that is, a contrastive format, in which the problem (why) and solution (how) are contrasted.
What makes it different from a plan is that it focuses on solutions.
The problem is identified and then moved on to resolution.
The solution often uses a set of three key pieces of information.
It is to list three ‘prep structure 1 types’ in parallel, with quality, price, and service as sub-topics.
Even if the structure of the proposal is solution-oriented, it should not be forgotten that the competitiveness of the proposal lies in finding the essence of the problem.

Publisher's Review
Structure is 'prep', sentences are short!
From reports, proposals, plans, and even resumes in the AI ​​era.
A writing formula that works even in the AI ​​era!

A favorite method of using prep paragraphs, used by master writers like Yoo Si-min, Choi Jae-cheon, and Lee Oisoo!
The latest work from the author of "Korean Science and Engineering Students Are Afraid of Writing"!

Whether you're writing a report at work, writing a self-introduction, or using social media, writing is always difficult.
I spent several days thinking about it and wrote a pretty good report, but my superiors looked dissatisfied.
When I'm in a situation where I have to write something in a hurry, I don't know where to start and sometimes I waste hours just on the first sentence.
Why does writing always feel so difficult and arduous? Does it take true talent to be a good writer? Does reading a lot, thinking a lot, and writing a lot really make you a good writer?
No one is good at writing from the beginning.
There are definitely techniques and formulas when it comes to writing.
Many famous writers we know spend a long time honing their skills and formulas to develop their writing.
If you don't know the principles and formulas behind how well-written writing is done, it's difficult to produce writing quickly and easily whenever needed.
This book, "Prep, the Formula for Writing!", presents "Prep" as the "formula for writing" that allows you to write well in a short period of time.
When writing, if you prepare the paragraph structure of the text and write according to that structure, the text will be easier to write.
Simply put, prep means writing the main point first, then providing reasons/evidence to support it, presenting examples to prove the reasons, and then emphasizing the main point again.
The author further emphasizes short writing.
The power of prep is further enhanced when you can concisely convey your thoughts in short sentences.
If you just follow these two things, the 'writing formula' will be complete.


“In writing, paragraphs serve a structural role, like a spine.
Each paragraph uses 'PREP', which has 'the best communication ability in mankind', to develop sentences in the format of P(topic)-R(reason)-E(example)-P(topic emphasis).
The formal strategy of writing is to use short sentences to enhance the power of communication.
When these two strategies are combined, a formula for writing is born.
(……) The order and structure of sentences are automatically determined, and sentences are mainly short.
This makes writing a lot easier.
Not only machine translation, but also artificial intelligence can accurately and quickly recognize the content.”

The author who was demoted because he couldn't write
The secret to mastering writing!

The author was demoted while working as the director of the Atomic Energy Bureau because he was bad at writing.
I commissioned a famous writer to write a newspaper advertisement to secure a radioactive waste disposal site, but was disappointed with the article I received, so I wrote it myself.
He faxed the manuscript he had written all night to the minister, but the minister was very angry and was demoted from the position of director of the Atomic Energy Bureau that morning.

Since then, I started to think about what my competitive edge was, and after much thought and effort, I learned how to write by taking writing classes abroad.
The author's first book, "Korean Science and Engineering Students Are Afraid of Writing," is a product of his efforts and has sold over 25 editions.
Reports, proposals, and plans are the main documents used by office workers.
Knowing how important writing is in the workplace, the author explains how to use Prep when writing reports, proposals, and plans.
It shows through a bird's eye view that information can be organized and processed efficiently with PREP. Anyone can easily write major documents by simply learning the PREP structure of simple serial type (type 1), hierarchical type (type 2), and contrast type (type 3).
Structuring paragraphs and organizing entire texts with Prep is more suitable for writing resumes in the AI ​​era.
Now that we're entering an era where even personal statements are graded by AI, we need a writing strategy that fits the needs.
Prep is a structure suitable for AI scoring.
If the applicant has identified the type of talent the company is looking for, he or she can choose a topic based on that and write a prep-style essay to create an excellent personal statement.


Practical proofreading with rich writing examples,
And you must keep it
Principles of writing!

One of the strengths of this book is that it is rich in real-world writing examples.
It provides examples of various writings, including the writings of authors Yoo Si-min, Choi Jae-cheon, and Lee Oisoo, as well as textbooks, newspaper articles, columns, and speeches, to explain step by step what constitutes good writing and how to write it.
The prep formula also applies to good writing by famous authors.
A pattern often appears: first, the main point (P), then the basis (R), then an example (E), and then the emphasis again.
For writings that are lacking or lacking, we also try to correct them in practice according to the prep.
You can see at a glance that the writing that has gone through the writing formula becomes clearer and more distinct.
In addition to the prep structure, it also provides basic principles to follow when writing.
The principle of one thing, one word, using consistent nomenclature, maintaining complete sentence structure without leaving out the subject, and keeping modifiers and modified close together are all essential principles for logical and practical writing.

Everyone is afraid of writing.
But it's important not to be vaguely afraid and to start writing your first sentence using good methods.
Prep is a good guide to structuring your writing.
If you think about what you want to say and what basis you have for it, you will gradually get the idea for your writing.
Prep is what tells you what to think about and how to organize it.
Let's use this book to write logical and well-communicated essays.
