Language: Uses informal or conversational language, accessible to a broad audience.

3.

5. Example of Academic Text: Title: "The Impact of Climate Change on Global Agriculture" Abstract: This study examines the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity worldwide. By analyzing data from various regions, we identify trends in crop yields and suggest adaptive measures to mitigate adverse outcomes. Our findings indicate a significant correlation between temperature rise and decreased agricultural output, particularly in tropical areas. Excerpt: "The data collected from 2000 to 2020 show a marked decrease in crop yields in regions experiencing higher-than-average temperature increases. For instance, maize production in Sub-Saharan Africa has declined by 10% per decade, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies (Smith et al., 2019)."

6. Example of Non-Academic Text: Title: "How to Start Your Own Garden This Summer" Introduction: Gardening is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and grow your own fresh produce. Whether you're a beginner or have a green thumb, starting a garden can be both fun and rewarding. Here are some tips to help you get started. Excerpt: "First, choose a sunny spot in your yard. Most vegetables need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Next, prepare the soil by adding compost and organic matter to ensure your plants have the nutrients they need to thrive. Don't forget to water regularly and keep an eye out for pests!"
