bibliography with their writing.

purposes, as it acknowledges other people's work and
helps to verify the important points of your research.
3. PROPER STRUCTURE

logical sequence.

statement and a conclusion amongst others.

support all points with corresponding proofs instead of
assertions, as the aim is to base arguments on the evidence under
consideration, rather than simply stating the writer's opinion.
