Quotation 1: Chen et al. (2019) state: “The results show that it is possible to identify the type of seismic source in real time, ahead of that real-time” (para. 1).
A technique that appeals to me: A paraphrase technique that can enhance the importance of scientific results. In fact, the system described in this paper makes it possible to identify the type of source before any severe consequences. In other words, the technique assumes forecasting based on incomplete data known for each specific case. However, the authors cleverly played with this phrase, focusing attention on it, and suggesting a deeper understanding of the issue. Initially, such a phrase is confusing, but the reader better understands the processes described in the article when scrolling through it. In addition, this quote must be in the results section, focusing on the very core of the article – the main activity of the authors.
How I will use the technique in my draft: I want to use this technique in my essay also closer to the conclusion, where there is a discussion of the scientific results obtained. With this technique, I could repeat an important word that I want to focus on, deftly play around with it, or several words within one sentence, forcing the reader to dive into its meaning. After that, the reader, clearly interested in the unusual wording, will at least familiarize himself with the article’s results, which will be placed immediately after this proposal. As a result, a kind of hook will appear in this work that can catch the reader’s attention. It is unnecessary that, in my case, the phrase “real-time” will be played up. Nevertheless, I am determined to use this technique in my own work.
