confidence while speaking or writing whether academic, creative or others.
Maia: What are your thoughts in this Mr. Wesley?
Wesley (John): Yes.
Charles: Now the reason why we called you guys here is actually because the
public wants to know more about Academic Writing. Can you guys share us your
knowledge about academic writing?
Stevy: Academic writing is a clear, concise, focus, structured and backed up by
evidence.
Kate: I agree, and it also has a formal tonal style, but it is not that complex and
does not require the use of long sentences and complicated vocabulary.
Charles: I see, how about you sir Wesley?
Wesley (John): Ughhh, Yes.
Charles: Okay since Mr. Wesley has been awfully quiet, we’re gonna ask him some
extra questions. But before that, let’s first watch an advertisement from today’s

literature that is academic in nature.

an organized way, and be formal in tone and style.
Charles: Wow, impressive. Now for the last question, what must you avoid in
academic writing?

and using foul and informal languages such as (mga bad words).
