Remember

your

so
specific

short

are
great
for
supporting
your

a
way
that
enhances

but
more

that

creates
interest
for
your

helps

understand
the

and
better
commemorates
your

It
also
can
be
a
great
way
to
increase

and
pathos.

you
and
others.
Make
sure
your

is
easy
to
follow

terms
of
structure,
organization
and
clarity.
Your

still
needs

talk
about,
and
why
you
are
discussing
it.
Be

of
language
strategies
as
