What can you do to ensure your writing remains original?

  1. Avoid pre-written templates

  2. Use as many words as possible

  3. Keep track of where you get your ideas

  4. Show your work to others

The correct answer is: Keep track of where you get your ideas

To keep your writing original, it is important to track the sources of your ideas. This means avoiding completely relying on pre-written templates (option A) as they may not fully reflect your unique thoughts. Additionally, using as many words as possible (option B) can actually hinder the originality of your writing by leading to redundant phrases and sentences. Showing your work to others (option D) may be helpful for feedback and revisions, but it does not necessarily guarantee originality. Keeping track of your ideas and inspirations from various sources will help you create a unique and original piece of writing.
