Good writing starts with good ideas. If you write about things that you care about, you will write better. If you write about things that you don’t care about, you’ll be bored and your paper will not have many good ideas.
Once you have a good idea, the next step is organization. Think through your paper before you start. Write an outline. You need to know what your main points are before you start your first paragraph (段落). Use 2-4 main points, one paragraph each.
In your central paragraphs, be concise (简短的) and specific （具体的）. Give examples with details（细节）, not just general ideas. If you can say the same thing with fewer words, do it! Don’t use big words.
When you finish writing, look at your outline again. Did you really follow it or did it change as you wrote? Many times you find different ideas as you write. Look at your central paragraphs. What are their main ideas now? Are these ideas in the introduction? I often write the introduction again to fit the paper after I finish writing. What is the 1st step for a good writing?
| A．Think through your paper before you start. |
| B．Write a good 1st paragraph. |
| C．Have a good idea. |
| D．Look for many examples. |
What is the 2nd step?
| A．Have a good idea. | B．Write an outline. |
| C．Write the 1st paragraph. | D．Give examples with details. |
What does the word “outline” mean in the 2nd paragraph?
| A．提纲 | B．外形 | C．中心 | D．总结 |
