Detailed explanation-1: -The two experts say that good academic writing follows a simple design called “They Say, I Say.” A paper should begin with what others have already said about the subject, or “they say.” Then, student writers present their own opinions, or “I say.” A college paper should show the writer entering a debate among experts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Working on this premise, the textbook They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing (TSIS), by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, helps you develop strategies to improve your writing skills by developing your own voice in response to what others have said.
Detailed explanation-3: -The authors believe that not only should you (the writer) express your ideas and beliefs but you should say what other says as well. The authors also state that the best way to respond to an argument is to agree or disagree simultaneously.
Detailed explanation-4: -Graff and Birkeinstein’s passage in “Entering the conversation” is saying that you can use what other people have written about to make your argument better. They say that comparing and contrasting different views and ideas on a topic can help make a stronger point.
