How Can a Writer Check Whether His Or Her Claims Will Be Well Supported?
How Can a Writer Check Whether His Or Her Claims Will Be Well Supported?Today I'm going to talk about a simple technique for checking whether your writing has been well supported, to improve the quality of your writing and make it more persuasive. The tip is a really simple one, which requires no special software and has a practical application: when you are writing, do not write on topics you've never researched before, instead move on to research new, relevant information that your readers will need.One tip for writing is that you shouldn't state your thesis statement on the first page of your paper. Instead, start with a few paragraphs of generalities that are supported by facts. If you've got some broad statements, then state them in a later paragraph or essay; if you haven't got any broad statements yet, start with just a few topics that you would like to cover in your essay.The next step is to supply your reader with strong supporting evidence. Your thesis statement will be cha llenged by the opposition of the facts you present, so you need to prove that you're right by presenting strong arguments and references to other, more recent research.One very important point: once you've researched, you must confirm with yourself whether the research you've presented is actually supporting your arguments and whether your thesis statement is likely to stand up to scrutiny, because your thesis statement should set out the central topic of your essay. Once you've achieved this, then it's time to write.When you're writing your essay, you want to focus on the things that you want to explain to your reader. You don't want to spend too much time summarizing existing knowledge or digging up more facts from your reading, because this will distract your readers' attention from the central point of your essay.Why are you writing this essay? Why are you explaining this subject to your readers?This is just one simple tip for checking whether your claims will be well supported. There are many more simple techniques you can use in your writing, some of which require no software and can help your reader to understand your essay and think about it in a completely different way. Be careful of attempting to be all things to all people, because this will simply frustrate your readers.
