Today we will talk about how to use evidence in writing. In much of your college writing, you will try to persuade your readers to see things your way. W
40、ithout good evidence to support your ideas, you will hardly persuade anyone of anything, So today well look at seven kinds of evidence that are widely used in argumentative writing.The first type of evidence is expert testimony. An expert is someone who has special skill and knowledge based on caref
41、ul study and wide experience in a certain area. More than that, an expert has tested his or her skill and knowledge in a public forum.Once your opinion is firm, you can use expert testimony to support it. To use expert testimony wisely, you need to be both respectful and critical. You will need to d
42、ifferentiate among three kinds of evidence that experts provide: facts, informed opinions, and speculations. Generally, you can use facts and informed opinions, but must be cautious with speculations. This is because speculations are just what one person thinks is plausible, so they should be treate
43、d as something that could be true.The second type of evidence is statistics. Statistics are numerical data gathered and tabulated to yield information. Whether they are raw data or translated into charts and figures, numbers are powerful evidence. If they are properly used, data can prove a claim ra

When a survey shows that 95 per cent of senior students are satisfied with the courses they have taken at a university, we can persuade readers that the university is a good one.But you must be careful with numbers. Only when the data are valid, accurate and up to date can th
45、ey really support your point So when you want to use data, examine carefully before putting them down in your article.Next comes the third evidence, examples. Every day you use examples as evidence for your claims. You might write to your parents, “Sorry I havent written much but Ive been very busy.
46、 I spent last week in the library, bent over the books studying for two midterms.“ In this case, you establish your claim and back it up with a specific example.Examples serve three purposes. First, they clarify meaning. Your parents may not know exactly what you mean by busy until you show them. Second, examples demonstrate why, at least in one instance, you are justified in making your claim. Studying for two midterms does sound like being busy. Third, examples make for entertaining reading. Abstractions are dry. Claiming that you are busy isnt very intere
