Paraphrase the central idea. use third person.
Respuestas a la pregunta
Academic writing has a different tone and style than everyday writing. Here are some of the main characteristics of writing academically.
First, Second and Third Person: You may have heard about writing in the "third person". This means you will not be using any personal pronouns such as I, me, we, us, (first person) or you and your (second person). Seen side by side, there is a noticeable contrast in the way first person and third person phrasing sounds:
First person: I think, I feel, I believe, I am sure, my opinion is, I am quite certain...
Third person: certainly, undoubtedly, probably, will, likely, may, might, could, possibly...
Unless you are an expert on the topic, it is best to avoid using the first person when writing academically. When you have strong evidence to support your argument, you can successfully use the more confident tone of the third person. The exception to this is reflective writing, which is always written in the first person.
Contractions: Contracted forms of English; didn’t, isn’t, couldn’t, wouldn't , are not accepted in formal academic writing.
Slang: Always avoid using slang language (“the kids”, “arvo”, “drunk”).
Over-complicated language: The more concise and simple the language, the more persuasive it can be. Only the facts should be written and emotional content should be avoided as should flowery language, adjectives and jargon.
