Academic writing tips for writing concisely:
-- use the best, most specific vocabulary to express your ideas exactly
-- avoid unnecessary adverbs, unnecessary long phrases, and extra pronouns
-- avoid redundant pairs of words
-- bonus tip: shorten sentences by reducing adjective and adverb clauses, like this:
While we were hiking near the coast, we saw seals on the beach. Change to "While hiking near the coast..." (reduced adverb clause)

The Covid vaccines seem to help people who have been suffering from long-haul Covid symptoms. Change to "people suffering from..." (reduced adjective clause)

Hy great teacher, can you please make a video on argumentative compositions

[Chinathomas_]

I noticed that when I write I overthink or just write how I talk which is broken English. But I’m here to improve.. thank you

[learnenglishwithmrk]

Another really clear and helpful video.

[justmatho]

good video, I received some helpful advice

[zakariiraillen]

I have a suggestion for a video topic. One can find hundreds of youtube videos on phrasal verbs but nobody explain if we can drop the particule, for exemple, can one say "hurry" instead of "hurry up", "send" instead of "send off", just "listean" instead of "listen up". I noticed that non-native English speakers, myself included, have problem on when and if it is necesary to include a particule up, off.. etc. to a verb. I have two quick questions if you don't mind. First one, are no longer and no more interchangeable. Second one, in the show "America's got talent" do the Judges say "it' a yes FOR me" or "it's a yes FROM me" and there is a third question I just remebered, does one say "say hello to Bill FOR me" or "say hello to Bill FOR me". Thank you in advance.
