One of the simplest techniques to avoid similarity in your writing


One of the simplest techniques to avoid similarity in your writing

The best way to avoid similarity in your writing is building and connecting concepts by yourself. But it requires systematic training and only place provides the training to build and connect concepts in the world is PonderEd (http://www.PonderEd.ca). If you are a student, you might need to write a paper before building these skills.
So, I am providing a very simple technique that you can use. With this, you can avoid similarity in your writing.

Here goes the method

Step 1. Copy a paragraph from a reference.

The following statement is from WHO (https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus)

    e.g.) Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. 

Step 2. Ask questions to define the words (especially nouns) in the paragraph.

    e.g.)  What is virus? What is illness? What is cold? What is disease? etc.

Step 3. Describe the answers if you have. If not, look up them from any references.

   e.g.) Viruses are microscopic parasites, generally much smaller than bacteria. They lack the capacity to thrive and reproduce outside of a host body. (This is from: https://www.livescience.com/53272-what-is-a-virus.html)

Step 4. Ask questions to define the words again.

   e.g.) what is parasite? What are bacteria? What is reproduction? What is host? etc.

Step 5. Repeat this as long as you could.

Sep 6. Merge all the descriptions and rewrite the paragraph.

But, as mentioned above, the best way is to write on your own by building and connecting concepts. Every single person has different ways of thinking. So, if you write on your own, your writing will be different from others because thinking is like fingerprint.

Don’t rely on the knowledge you learned. There are many other people have the same knowledge. It won’t be easy to make differences if you simply use them.

The difference between learning and studying

  The difference between learning and studying ﾠ Learning is possible only if there is something to learn (knowledge that already exist). Learning is possible only if there is someone who can teach you. Learning is possible only if someone has found something new or created new knowledge. ﾠ The people who focus on learning are: ﾠ 1. Moving towards a passive life. 2. You wouldn't know what to do unless you learned what to do by reading a book or being taught. 3. You would be frustrated if you don't have an answer unless someone gives you the answer. ﾠ Because of these, if you enjoy learning new things or knowledge, you might enjoy the learning but you will be mentally enslaved by the people with more knowledge or (and) political or (and) economic power gradually.   ﾠ ============================ Studying is a process of discovering new things or finding answers oneself. When you encounter something that you didn't know (or didn't expect), you can find answers by studying...

Why online classes are not as effective as face to face?

Why online classes are not as effective as face to face? One of the participants asked a question in the teaching professors virtual conference ongoing now. The question was that how to make online teaching effective. From the conference, there is limited info about online teaching. I replied. If teaching is focused on delivering knowledge by understanding, effectiveness would drop significantly for online. This is because learning knowledge by understanding doesn’t require thinking. When thinking is not involved, it is like training a dog. Dogs can understand human signals and words and follow instruction once trained. The problem is that you cannot train dogs online.  I continued. To make either online or face to face teaching effective, thinking function of the human brain has to be tackled. And the thinking process includes data collection, analysis, prediction and decision making. The person replied. How to teach students to learn knowledge and thinkin...
