Reader-Centered Writing
Core Sentence / 核心句
Reader-centered writing arranges context, claims, evidence, and transitions so the reader can follow and evaluate the reasoning without reconstructing missing connections.
中文理解：以读者为中心，不是迎合读者观点，而是让读者能够顺着文章的逻辑理解、质疑并评价你的论证。
Reader Questions / 读者会问什么
- What is the problem?
- Why does it matter?
- What exactly is the claim?
- What evidence supports it?
- How does the evidence support it?
- Under what conditions does it hold?
- What about the strongest objection?

Introduction Bridge / 开头的桥
hook
-> link and context
-> thesis
-> organizational statementSentence and Paragraph Flow / 句段推进
每一句应与前一句建立可识别关系：
- continuation；
- cause；
- contrast；
- example；
- qualification；
- consequence。
每一段应回答一个 reader question，并推进 thesis。
Clarity Standard / 清晰标准
The reader’s effort should go into evaluating the idea, not decoding the prose.
简洁不等于思想浅；复杂思想更需要清晰语言。
Watch Out / 易错点
- 缺少 context，直接抛 thesis；
- hook 与 argument 无关；
- 句子之间只有 topic 相似，没有逻辑关系；
- 用长句和罕见词制造额外理解负担；
- organizational statement 只是机械目录；
- conclusion 突然增加新 argument。
