Hi Vireak! In academic writing, the focus should be on the research and the evidence, not on the person writing it. Removing "I" makes your arguments sound more universally true and less like personal bias. 🏛️
Is "prove" a bad word to use in science essays?
Yes, it is often avoided! Science is always evolving, so saying something "proves" a fact is too strong. It is much better to use hedging words like "demonstrates", "indicates", or "suggests". 🔬
How do I sound formal without sounding like a robot?
Great question. The key is to use precise vocabulary (like "substantial" instead of "big") but keep your sentence structures clear and direct. Do not just use long, complex words for the sake of it! Precision is better than complication. ✍️
Why can't I use "I" in my essay? It is my opinion, right?
