my prof said that I used next I will discuss way too much so now i'm thinking of other things to say other than discuss but I can't think of anything. this is when im stating my arguments in my introduction.
any suggestions?
Cross out all of your words that say, "next I will discuss." What do you have left? Make these positive statements.
Oh, I never thought of that. Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome.
If you're looking for alternative phrases to use instead of repeatedly saying "discuss" in your introduction, here are a few suggestions:
1. "Examine": This conveys a similar meaning to "discuss" and allows you to explore or analyze different perspectives or aspects of your arguments.
2. "Explore": This word suggests a comprehensive investigation or inquiry into your topic, enabling you to delve deeper into your arguments without explicitly stating "discuss."
3. "Consider": This word implies reflection and thoughtful examination of your arguments, prompting the reader to ponder the various points you will present.
4. "Investigate": This phrase implies a rigorous examination and analysis of your arguments, indicating that you will thoroughly examine each aspect.
5. "Evaluate": This suggests a critical assessment or appraisal of your arguments, indicating that you will assess their strengths, weaknesses, and potential implications.
Remember, the key is to vary your language and choose words that accurately capture the intended meaning of your discussion. By utilizing different terms, you can make your writing more engaging and avoid repetition.
