2) Remove unnecessary introductory phrases, like there are, there is, these have, these are, here are, here is, it has been reported that, it has been said that,it is evident that, it is obvious that, etc. Instead use for example because it allows you to emphasize a point.
3) Eliminate stock phrases, search your document for phrases that can be replaced with one or two words.
You can also write with style by using an active and passive voice effectively. An active voice would be: Juan too an exam.
The tornado leveled the town.
and a passive voice would be : The exam was taken
The town was leveled.
understanding when to use active or passive will make all the difference in your paper.
Adopting a consistent point of view is another way to write in style. First person would be I or we, second person would be you, third person would be she, he, it, one, they, or nouns.
Choose your words carefully. There are two different types of formality, informal and formal these will be determined on issue and how you choose to write it. Specialized language allows readers to communicate effectively and efficiently, so word choice is very important!
How can you polish your style?
Vary your sentence structure, there are 4 types of sentences that can be used to vary your sentences : statements, questions, commands, and exclamations.
You can also polish your style by creating effective transitions. Transitional words are first, second, third, finally, however, and nonetheless. Transitional phrases are on the other hand, as a result, and in turn. There are also transitional sentences and paragraphs that strengthen your paper.
Introduce other authors effectively while integrating others work into your paper by saying the author wrote or the author said. And avoid sexist language that will upset your readers, consult a good handbook and read widely.
