Main content;Signs and Warnings are often posted in public places to inform people of some information. Since people in public places don’t have enough time to read Signs and Warnings carefully, so they should be written especially concise, simple and accurate. The writer needs to write as few words as he can to convey the same meaning. ;Imperative sentences and phrases are often used. Phrases are preferable to sentences in the terms of saving space. In line with internationally accepted practice, the writer should capitalize the initial letters of each notional word and let alone such functional words as prepositions and articles, etc. For example, Break Glass in Emergency; Beware of Pickpockets.;If something is forbidden, “No”, “Don’t” are usually put at the very beginning or “Forbidden”, “Prohibited” are written at the end. The initial letters of each word should be capitalized. For example, Don’t Step On, No Parking Here, No Admittance. In certain cases, in order to be eye-catching all the words are capitalized.;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings;Signs and warnings: exercises;Signs and warnings;※Words and Expressions: abusive adj. 辱骂的、诅咒的 admittance n. 许可进入 detour n. 迂回路，绕行 disabled adj. 残疾的 leash n. （拴动物的）皮带 litter vt，vi 乱丢杂物 nuisance n. 讨厌的事物、人、行为等 pickpocket n. 小偷 trespass vi 非法侵入 scribble vt，vi 潦草书写；胡写；乱画;Exercises:;Exercises:
