  There are five the criteria of topics, such as:
l
l 1. The topic must be in accordance with the background knowledge of the
author. Make sure that the topic that you want to discuss is really
mastered by the material.
l 2. The topic me according to your interests. Topics that interest you will make
you are interested in down. Also, if you are interested in writing them, it will
certainly make you excited about looking for references.
l 3. Topics must interest the reader. It’s useless to write something that doesn’t
make people interested to read it. Although someone’s interest in reading
must be related to the background knowledge. However, if you write
something new, exotic, offer other alternatives, arouse curiosity, get someone
emotionally involved, and this exotic thing will attract people to read it.
l 4. Topics must be supported by other references. A topic that does not yet
have at all a (reference) or other supporting material will be very troublesome
for yourself, for that, as far as possible avoid such topics first.
l 5. Topic must be limited in scope. Topics that are too broad will make it
difficult for you and will take up a lot of your time. After all, your conversation
will not be focused. This will make your writing look wordy.
