well i don't really use online templates. I just google different/appropriate ways of expressions. ...
Oh then I think it's a good use of the internet. I'm in the same boat. I work in the government and my job is all around doing presentations and writting reports.
As for trusting your own instincts, I would suggest dreaming up your own expressions first (even if you are not quite so sure) and then verifying them online. But even if you cannot find the perfect match, that doesn't invalidate your thinking either. As long as your boss doesn't have an issue with it, you are fine. Even if your boss does, argue with him. He should be able to give you a valid reason. You may think it sounds outrageous and feel uneasy about your boss playing his 'native-speaker' card, but through my experiences native-speakers are often quite willing to argue over word choices and expressions, and if you can give them a good enough reason, they will trust your 'instincts'. That of course doesn't mean you go out of your way defending each and every point. Still having some healthy debate will benefit you and you cannot truly grasp English without it.
In my own writting I never have second thoughts about taking up risks using unfamiliar expressions. Back in uni I suffer a lot for that habit but now at work my writting isn't too bad, because through making lots of mistakes I am able to understand things like tones and nuances, and ultimately be more creative and laissez-faire in my writting style, as well as adapting my writtings to different occassions. |
