EditSteps

  1. 1
    Find a topic to write about. What matters to you? Do you feel strongly about a certain topic, or do you want to fight for someone's rights? Make sure you really care about the topic and that you have lots of ideas to express in your writing.

    Use expressive speech. Make sure you use your vocabulary correctly and choose the right words.
  3. 3
    Decide if you are going to use informal or formal speech. Who will be your audience? Think of people like politicians, teens or teachers. Maybe you will decide what speech to use when you have decided what audience you'll have. This step is important when writing, so you can decide if you want to use sophisticated language or words that children will understand.
  4. 4
    Have a friend read it for feedback. You can read it out loud to them, pretending that they are the audience, and they can give you feedback from a listener's perspective. Your friend should also read the text itself to check for grammatical errors.
  5. 5
    Use a clear and imaginative tone when you read the text aloud to an audience. Speak clearly and make sure to pronounce all of the words correctly. Speak in a tone that conveys the passion you feel for the subject, as this may make the audience believe in your topic as well.
