### 1.1.1 Study: Understand

Question:

How can you convince your audience that you're trustworthy? That is, how do you use ethos when making an argument?

Explanation:

The best way is to state why you're qualified. For example, when a doctor writes a book or an article on a medical topic, she usually includes the initials MD after her name, meaning "doctor of medicine." That way, you know she's an expert.

But you don't need an advanced degree to prove you're trustworthy. What experience do you have with a particular topic? Are you an expert in the field? Are there other people who will vouch for your authority on this subject?

Task:

In 35 words or fewer, on what topics could you convince an audience of your expertise?
