  In Bower article, he stated that there are only four way to make non-native of English writer clearly. One, they need to stress or emphasize information that comes at the end of the sentences. "The ends of sentences should also be used to commutate long and complex phrases and clauses, and unfamiliar technical terms" (Bower 89). The second points is get to the point using characters as subject and actions as verb (Bower 89). "A simple and effective way to connect subjects and
  verbs is to make the main characters of your sentences, which can be any entity, real or abstract, that you focus on through several sentences, the subjects of verbs expressing their actions" (Bower 90). The third part is that reader needs a sense of flow from the sentences. Bower stated that sentence need to be clear or people will not understand what is the topic is about. The last point is coherence. "To write coherent paragraphs, consider constructing them around two sections: a short opening segment (issue) and a longer subsequent segment that explains, establishes or develops the statement made in the issue" (Bower 90). There are his four points. This article would be helpful to non-native speaker.
