make a statement;
list the causes;
list the effects;
This skill is more compatible with a paragraph than a whole text. For instance --
I love you so much. Not only for the superficial things but also your extrodinary soul deep inside. I've been dreaming of you these days, and I just can't endure all the feelings I hide. That's why I called you out tonight.
And another simple skill, or, the most fundamental skill. The omnipotent What-How-Why theory.
a general statement (What);
some specific details (How);
the reason (Why);
No need for an example. =)
