    Academic texts follow specific structures for words and paragraphs. They make use of varied word strategies like nominalization and passivization. Common paragraph patterns include description, sequence, comparison, cause and effect, and problem-solution. Academic texts require objectivity and maintain an impersonal, socially distant tone. They use explicit language to clearly direct the reader's attention to key points and use caution, avoiding hasty generalizations.
