Find some good words or short phrases that you can use for

using quotations
Here are some key points to
remember when using quotations:
1) Incorporate
quotations into your sentences.
“special banquet”
Maylin’s father wanted to make
a good impression to the governor at the “special banquet” that the community
organized.
2) Keep
quotations to a few words. Quotations
are like salt in food: a little bit gives flavour; too much ruins the dish.
3) Use
quoted material to support your points.
4) Don’t
use too many quotations. Pick three,
four, five quotations to support your brainstormed points and leave the rest.
5) Make
sure the quoted material is exactly as written in the story. Use ellipsis … and square brackets [ ] to
make minor grammatical or stylistic changes.
6) Avoid
repeating quotations.
7) Avoid ending
paragraphs with quotations.
