<p>I can’t seem to find anything to cut down my research paper/speech on. It is about technology addiction and how it hurts our society. I’m having a hard time going under the time limit. What do you guys cut down on when you go over the word limit/ time limit on a paper?</p>

<p>Is anyone willing to read it and tell me what they would cut down? PM me if you want to read it. Thanks in advance! :D</p>

<p>Yeah… for a grant application, we cut down our project description from ~500 words to 75. That was tough!!!</p>

<p>Get rid of adjectives. If you ever say anything like “enormous and monumental,” just pick one of those words, pick a new word that fits BETTER, or get rid of both words! Also, see if you can consolidate information into more concise sentences.</p>
