Reach out to a friend when you're in need of another pair of eyes to give you a
different perspective of your writing. It can be anyone you're comfortable asking help
from. It's also a great way to share the hard work you put into writing about your studies!
Read your writing out loud also helps a lot! After taking a short break from writing, try
reading your work out loud to see if it flows nicely. It also trains you for more
independent proofreading. There are also e-reader tools that will read your work for you,
one of which is NaturalReader.
