academic language should be difficult to write and understand and sound complex but it is not
necessary the case, instead the academic text should be concise and clear in order to communicate
its contents in best way. There is a chosen text that has some features which are described below:
 Objectivity- This text is presenting and evaluating the issues and arrives at an objective
position that focus on and is informed by the reasoning and research rather than personal
opinion and feelings. In this, it avoid the personal pronouns, especially you, we and I that
are influenced by the personal preferences. This text is based on the research and not on
any writer's opinion about given topic. In this text, its objectives are concerned about the
facts and not influenced by any personal feelings.
 Formal- This text is very explicit that provide the readers with all information that they
need in order to understanding its meaning (Ferguson, 2019). It is in written in formal
context that frequently relies on the reader to supply some extra information that compete
