Academic English class

Today we had an Academic English class with Joe. We talked about academic writing and the most important things you should always keep in mind are:

- do not use contractions like "isn't" or "doesn't"
- do not use abbreviations like "UK" or "etc"
- do not use personal pronouns
- reference all sources
- if you write an essay do not write titles like "introduction" or "conclusion"
- use more passive voice
- use more noun based phrases
- use linking expressions
- use more formal vocabulary
- numbers, charts and graphs should be at the end as an appendix

Class today was quite interesting and especially Joe's exercise on how to use the right linking expression was pretty hard. Fortunately ;) it is absolutly useful for our report and the presentation.

Greets!
