  1. Hi Sae,

    Your research question and thesis look excellent!

    In your Outline's main sections, it looks like you do not have main sections for explaining your two solutions.

    Make sure you use two fat, detailed paragraphs (or more) to explain your solutions, which are your main points. Don't fill the body with too much background and fail to explain the key points.

    Good luck with creating the draft and let me know if you have questions!
