WEAVING TOGETHER SIMILAR IDEAS THAT CONTRADICT THE PREVIOUS
STATEMENT

• Writing a synthesis from notes
• Look at your notes and identify similar and contradictory arguments. Group these together to

develop/support your arguments. Cite references appropriately.

• Supporting the contention that English is the dominant world language, Watson
(2019) and Lui (2018) point out its importance as the medium of international
communication in business, technology and other global forums. However, others
argue that despite its apparent dominance, English is not the global language when
the number of native speakers of other languages, for example Chinese, are
considered (Dowd, 2019; Hannan, 2017).

EXAMPLE OF SYNTHESIZED TEXT:

• Individuals are classified as either an extrovert or an introvert. Extroversion describes people who
are outgoing, sociable, assertive, and optimistic and are in search of excitement (McAdams
2014; McShane & Travaglione 2015). Extroverts are confident in their abilities to accomplish tasks
effectively and have faith in themselves. They enjoy risk taking,but can be unreliable and can lose
their temper easily (Mathews, Deary & Whiteman 2013). Extroverts also focus more on the positive
aspects and outcomes of life and therefore they have a greater level of self confidence. On the other
hand, introverts are described as being shy, quiet, withdrawn, less likely to make bad impulsive
decisions and are more cautious in their actions (Matthews, Deary & Whiteman 2013; McAdams
2014; McShane & Traviglione 2015). As a consequence, introverts are more likely to place weight on
the negative outcomes and aspects of social situations (McAdams 2014) and prefer to be alone,
whereas extroverts have the ability to make friends quickly.
