After few years in college, I have some little experiences of writing an essay for myself. In the very first moment, I usually write about what I like. However, in the writing process, I realized that the topics which I picked are lack of support, interesting to myself but not to others, very wide, or very narrow, etc. Now, I know that I should really pay attention to write down an outline. First, I will pick some topics that pop up in my mind and very write down all the main ideas to support for my thesis statement. I will analyze the topic and the main ideas are wide enough to write about. If the topic and main ideas are too narrow, I will not have too many things to write. For every main ideas, I have to prepare enough strong and interesting supporting details.
My topic is "Should student's textbooks be replaced by notebook computers?". I got my iPad two years ago, and I had to say that I love it a lot. It is such a huge amazing product of technology. Before I had it, I could not image how convenient it is. From my interesting experience with my iPad, I totally agree with that replacement. My thesis statement is going to be "There are some positive points that notebook computer can replace student's textbook: convenient, economic spending, and to reduce using paper to save our environment".
So far I love this topic and I also have enough ideas to develop my essay. First, I will analyze how effective the notebook is to student. It is comfortable to carry out, easy to organize our files, simple to look up information, etc. Secondly, I will talk about the price's comparison comparison. When we buy a textbook, we pay for the materials ( papers, ink, labor, etc ) and the copyright. When we buy a online book, we pay for the copy right only. Eventually, I emphasize to saving papers is saving our environment.
I think with all of these supports, I will keep this topic.
