Remember, you are an experimenter! Do not make an assumption of your own and do not discuss your own findings.Try to start off by getting the reader's imagination up. Let the imagination develop, and let them then pick up where you left off. What they will see are you using what you read and related information, to actually do the research and present your findings to the reader.What should your material be about? This should be written from the point of view of the reader. This will help you get the reader's attention.When writing a research paper, you must be willing to put yourself in the reader's shoes and put yourself in the environment in which the writing was done. It is only when you truly think about what the reader thinks that you can successfully present the information.
