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

Only when the data are valid, accurate and up to date can th

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
