　　Good writing starts with good ideas. If you write about things that you care about, you will write better. If you write about things that you don’t care about, you’ll be bored and your paper will not have many good ideas.
　　Once you have a good idea, the next step is organization. Thingh your paper before you start. Write an outline. You need to know what your main points are before you start your first paragraph.
