ESSAY: 10 points How can you strengthen your skill in research writing?

Research is an essential part of our lives as it plays a significant role for us. It is due to the fact
that it is said to be a way to gain more knowledge to a question that needs more searching. Even though
we are not taking research classes, there are still ways for us to strengthen our skills in research writing.
As researches are composed of related literature, a way for us to hone our skills more is by practicing
how to verify information. Good research is the one containing quality and reliable information that will
be shared to the readers which is why it is a must for researchers to determine if the sources of their
information are reliable. We need to determine the possible sources of information even on the internet
and make other people aware of it. We must also learn to distinguish what information is right and
wrong in order to not spread misinformation. Another way for us to strengthen our skills is by observing
recent researches. Through observing, we will be aware of how to write and what to write as well.
