    ACADEMIC
    WRITING

    Academic writing is formal


    No exaggeration.
    Impersonal (no use of “I am”).
    Direct to the meaning.
    No final Judgement, always allow for
    arguing and accepting other opinions.
    What does formal writing
    looks like
    Focus on the issue, not the writer. Keeping your writing
    objective and impersonal can make it more convincing.

    Ex :
    It will be argued that the benefits of sales promotion
    outweigh the disadvantages

    I will argue in this essay that


    Choose words with
    precise meanings

    Avoid words with vague meanings

    The writer looks at the issue

    The writer examines the issue ---> The second option is more
    formal

    Formal Choices : “He states....maintains...argues”


    Informal choices : “He says....talk about”
    Make your claims tentative
    rather than definite
    This leaves the door open for further discussion and/or research.
    After all, it’s unlikely that you’ve reached the only possible conclusion.
