WRITING
 Academic writing
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
 KEY

and unbiased. It is a position that focuses on and is
informed by research rather than personal feelings and
opinions. It is written for a specific purpose and targets
particular readers.

they need and contains all
the necessary conventions to understand the
