prayer. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy

Kim: These are elements of a literary piece.
That’s a great idea. But more likely, these are
features than elements.
Our topic for today is all about
‘Distinguishing Features of Academic
Writing.’

b. Discussion
Do you know what an academic writing is?
Volunteer: This may be defined as any
conventional system of marks or signs that
represents the utterances of a language. Writing
renders language visible. Whereas speech is
ephemeral, writing is concrete and, by
comparison, permanent. Both speaking and
 writing depend upon the underlying structures
of language.

Wow! Thank you for that great idea.

But you actually defined writing in detailed
form. When we say academic writing,
Definition: Academic writing is clear,
concise, focused, structured, and backed up
by evidence. Its purpose is to aid the reader's
understanding. It has a formal tone and style,
but it is not complex and does not require the
use of long sentences and complicated
vocabulary.

and Descriptive.

The Youngest Billionaire

The youngest billionaire is William H. Gates III, better known as Bill Gates. He is probably
the most famous living entrepreneur. His steaming career began in high school when he and
some friends founded a computer-software company. He briefly attended a Harvard
University but left to begin Microsoft in 1979 with partner Paul Allan. But at the age of 31,
Bill Gates shocked the world by becoming the youngest self-made billionaire.
