16. Academic Writing Academic Writing is a kind of writing that can be used in academia or school. It has a process that starts with posing a question, conceptualizing a problem, evaluating an opinion and ends in answering a question posed, clarifying a problem or arguing for a stand. The specific purposes of academic writing are to inform, to persuade and to argue that address specific audience or the teacher. To inform means supplementing a lot of information about the topic. To Persuade means having the credibility to make your audience or readers believe in you. To argue means making your readers or audience respond on the information you are telling them.

17. Four Features of Languages .

18. 1. Formality reflects your dignified stance in writing as a member of an academic community. This means that in your writing, you should avoid colloquial words and expressions.

19. Formality can be achieved through the following ways: • Choosing expanded modal forms over contracted forms, such as using cannot instead of can’t, do not instead of don’t.

20. Colloquialism are slang, informal or localized language. When writing formal papers using colloquial words are inappropriate. Ex. She was running around like a chicken with her head cut off.

21. • Choosing one verb form over two-word verbs, such as damage instead of mess up. • Choosing expanded terms over their abbreviated equivalents, such as as soon as possible instead of ASAP. • Avoiding colloquial/idiomatic expressions, such as kind of like, as a matter of fact, sort of.

22. 2.Objectivity- means that the focus of the information is on the topic rather on the writer itself. Written language should not be personal but rather in general objective.

23. a. Avoiding the use of personal pronouns such as you, I, my, and we. Poor example: You need to follow instructions. Improved version: The researchers need to follow instructions.

24. 3. Explicitness in academic writing demands the use of sign posts that allow readers to trace the relationships in the parts of the study. If you intend to show a change in your line of argument, make it clear by using however.

25. Example: It is apparent that the school institutions hope to provide quality education to the learners. However, having this COVID-19 pandemic requires a lot of effort to reach out students.  

26. 4. Caution in academic writing requires care since knowledge is built on proven theories and concepts. Caution is needed to avoid sweeping generalizations.

27. Government officials are corrupt. The statement is not completely true and the rhetorical impact of the statement may be misleading. The statement can be improved through the use of devices such as modal verbs, adverbs, or verbs. Improved versions: Some government officials may be corrupt. Corruption is commonly linked to some key government officials.

28. Types of Writing Styles There are four main types of writing: expository, descriptive, persuasive and narrative

29. Examples: articles, textbook, recipes Expository This means that the author is trying to explain a concept, imparting information to the audience. It is not subjective but rather focuses on facts that are supported by evidence.

30. Descriptive Writing Descriptive style means painting a picture of a person, place, or thing through words. It is often found in fiction, though it can make an appearance to non-fiction as well Memoirs, first-hand accounts, and events or travel guides are examples of descriptive writing. The author might employ metaphor or other literary devices in order to describe the author’s impressions using their five senses.

31. Persuasive Writing It is the main style of writing you will use in academic papers. When an author writes in a persuasive style, he/she is trying to convince the audience of a position or belief.

32. The examples of persuasive writing include cover letters, and editorial newspaper articles, reviews of items, letters of complaint, advertisements, and letters of recommendation .

33. Narrative Writing Narrative writing is used in almost every longer piece of writing, whether fiction or non-fiction. When an author writes in a narrative style, he/she is not just trying to convey information, rather tries to construct and communicate a story, complete with characters, conflict and settings. The examples of narrative writing include oral histories, novels/novellas, poetry (specifically, epic sagas or poems), short stories, and anecdotes
