For example, you can say, “Your drive to work or school will soon be smoother, thanks to a big project by the DOT to fill in potholes and uneven streets suffering from wear and tear.” This way you’ve telling viewers how an upcoming project will change their lives—for the better.

Once you commit yourself to journalism, you will not be able to read a simple paragraph without analyzing its structure.
