Guidelines In Writing

A First Draft
A first draft is a rough stage. When you write a frist draft,just get
your ideas into sentences and paragraphs.
 1. CHOOSE THE TOPIC

• Choosing the topic to write on sould be the

first thing to do. Once there is a topic, you
can now start writing; however, there are
certain things to bear in mind in choosing
for a topic.
• Generate ideas through brainstorming.It
involves using a loose structure of questions to
stimulate ideas about a topic.
• Limit the topic. This allows you to deal with a
specific area of personal experience,interest or
expertise.
• State your topic clearly and convert it into a
specific problem.
• Choose a topic that interests you. If you don't care
about limiting cigarette advertising, don't select it as a topic
for a persuasive essay. You''ll have more to say,and you"ll
write better, on something you care about. Generally, if you
choose a topic that is interesting to you, then your reader
will find it interesting too.
• Avoid a topic that will tempt you to summarize
rather than to discuss or analyze. When considering a
topic, ask yourself if it can lead to a reasonable thesis.
• Consider the scope of your topic. If your topic
is too broad it may be hard to find information that
is focused and relevant; if your topic is too narrow
it may be hard to find any information at all.
