I want to talk about a time when I asked my professor for advice on my thesis. And this happened a few months ago when I was in the final state of writing my graduation thesis. And I was struggling with organizing my idea and making my argument more convincing. And at the time I felt overwhelmed because I had gathered lots of information. But I was sure how to structure it properly. So I decided to ask my professor who has many experience in research and academic writing. So I sent my email explaining my problem and difficulty. And his friends faced me at his office in the university. And when I met him, he basically listened to my problem and then gave me some useful advice. First, he suggested that I outline my case as a human and create a clear structure before writing in detail. And secondly, he advised me to simplify, complete ideas and focus on the most relevant point. And lastly, he encouraged me to be patient and not freeze carefully. And Romance did review my thesis after my revisions so that I could submit the best results to the university committee. And I found his advice.
