                       WRITING TIP
                              It's important to use specific details in your writing and avoid details that are

                       too general or vague. For example, look at the following pairs of sentences.
                              1.  a – The opening page is interesting.

                              b – The opening page has a colorful logo.
                       2.  a – There is a link for a tutorial.

                              b – There is a tutorial on three additional uses for this product.


                              In the b. sentences, the writer uses clearer or more specific language. When

                       you write, try to provide this kind of specific information for your reader.
