ASEAN Webinar - Workshop on Writing a Good Essay and Journalistic Article

On the 28th of November, I listened to an ASEAN Webinar which was about Writing a Good Essay and Journalistic Article. I guess it's clear what is was about. It also told us the story of Randy Mulyanto, who is a journalist from Indonesia. He told us some tips and tricks about how to make your essay and journal better and a lot more interesting. I actually really do wanna get better at writing and stuff, so I paid extra attention to everything.

Here's what I got (๑•﹏•)

1. Research
He told us that the First Step was to do Research first. In this part, we were told to find all of the important facts about what we are going to write about. It's basically one of the most important things. 

2. Structure
Structure is also really important, you have to go in order like A-B-C, starting from 'Opening' and so on. 

3. Searching for data
It's important that when we go searching for information, we should go to famous sites, which makes sure that the information are real facts, but you should never copy and paste too. It would be better if you wrote everything in your own words, or maybe add a little bit of reference inside it.

4. Writing
Here comes the hard part. First of all, you should try to follow all the rules. If you were told to write something with 800 words, you should do that, and not send something that has around 2.000 words. If there was a mistake, you can easily rewrite it later. Just be confident and do your best here. From little bits of information, try to make it a bit longer, trust me, it helps. You should also make your words clear here, so people can easily understand what you are trying to tell them.


5. Editing
The most important thing here is that you pay attention to the grammar. Never forget to use capital letters, full stops and of course, double check and tripple check your spelling. Another good thing you should do is that you should show your writing or journal to a friend or family and ask about their opinions before submitting it. 

Basically, in short, that's it. 
I wanna thank them so much for these tips. Personally I think they were really helpful, and I feel like it could help me in the future.
