Tips before writing an outline

After brainstorming you need to write a simple

outline. It is very important to write it because it

keeps your report organized.

Good organization is the most important part to

get good marks.

The ideas within the outline should be based on

your brain storming activity.



10/22

The outline

Life experiences can teach me more than books.

* The knowledge I gain from experience is easier to understand:

- vacation in a foreign country

- understanding the people behavior easily- language can be easily understood by communication.

* Most life experiences are rarely forgotten;

- meet new friends

- know customs, traditions and culture.

Knowledge gained from experience is more important becausepersonal experiences can be easier to understand.

A Reporto Knowledge is the key of success. Everybody has his own way

to learn. Some people learn by reading. In my opinion, experienceis better than books because I like to feel things and experiencesare easier for me to learn from.

o To begin with, learning through life experiences are usefulmore than books because Im able to see, hear and do things bymyself. When I read a book, I learn information about othercountries without seeing them. That is no fun for me and once I

close the book I forgot what I read. When travelling to a foreigncountry, I can understand the behavior of the people there as wellas understanding their language by communication.

o Secondly experiences are rarely forgotten. There is no doubtthat meeting new people and friends is a credit . I addition to that,customs, traditions and even the history of the country can beeasily known by visiting museums.

o To sum up, it is important to keep gaining knowledge fromboth books and experience. However, I think knowledge gainedfrom life experience is easier and funnier.
