In that case, let me see. I got it. I want to talk about extra-curricular activities. This is the part I am most interested in. Good. Now you have chosen your research topic. Then let's come to the second part. How would you like to carry out your research? How to carry out my research? What do you mean? Well. Writing a research paper is quite different from an argumentative essay you are familiar with. Other people's opinions must be included. So you need to have a questionnaire survey or an interview at least. I've done questionnaire surveys before for Prof. Watson's assignment. But people gave me totally different ideas. What is the point of collecting ideas that just like chaos? Generally, questionnaires are used if you want to get opinions of lots of people. And it is not easy to design a questionnaire. Most questions should be selective. If you only ask people to write down their own opinions, what you get is chaos, like what you just said now. What do you mean by selective questions? Just like multiple choice questions in your exam papers. You ask a question and give some options to choose. Then you may get information in an organized way.
