Formal Register 🧐

In academic writing, we avoid simple verbs like "do" or "look at." Instead, we use strong collocations to sound objective and precise.

"The theory is supported by empirical evidence from multiple studies."
Conduct research
/kənˈdʌkt rɪˈsɜːrtʃ/
ធ្វើការស្រាវជ្រាវ (ផ្លូវការ)
Use instead of "do research". "We need to conduct research into renewable energy."
