will help in managing and providing all the clear and professional format through which the
education can be managed. It helps in managing the genre of the writing skills. Their are some
important features which are needed in all the academic writing they are like, firstly Critical
It is an important feature in all the academic writing through which the person there will not only
have to write the information which is being given to them. They will also have to evaluate and
analyse all the information which is being provided to them. Which means that the writer will
have to be well aware about the topic about which they are writing. This mainly requires
research work and proper and authentic sources with clear understanding about the topic. The
writer will have to make the judgements regarding the work that whether the information which
they are providing to other is clear and proper (Noori, 2020). It is an important feature as this

the research work will be clear and manage everything in systematic manner.
Secondly, Precise it is an important feature in the writing through which the matter which
is being written will be made understandable to all. The language which is being used by the
writers will not have to be hard that it will be difficulty for the reader to evaluate and know the
meaning. The reader will have to take the shorter sentences through which the reader will feel
comfortable in understanding and elaborating the meaning (Fang, 202). The vocabulary which
will be used by the writer will have to use such language that will consider all the clear and

precise learning method. In order to maintain and apply all the work their can be seen that simple
and proper words are to be managed and written by them in order to maintain the balance
between the work. As for all the academic writing this seems to be important to maintain and
write all such topic which can be managed and understood by the individuals and their will be
use of technical and words for which the reader will be able to manage the general work and can
also concludes the general terms and objectives of working. Thirdly, Formal as in academic
writing all the individuals or the writers will have to use the formal language through which they
can manage all the systematic and professional content (Bensen, and Cavusoglu, 2017). In this
type of writing the writer will have to use various long words and also different critical and
complex sentences. They will have to focus on using all the colloquial or general informal words
and are needed to avoidable contractions. The writer are not allowed to use the common
language and expressions. The individuals will concern all the academic vocabulary through
which they are allowed to use the technical terms and manner through which growth is being
generalised. As academic areas are the formal and vocation areas and they will have to manage
their dignity and also consideration through which the general growth and the academic
professionalism can be managed. It involves all the nature of the working through which the
individuals tends to concern about all the working and the professional attributes so they are
needed to use the formal language and will also abrupt to manage a professional Language and
general meaning with understanding(Núñez-Román, Hunt-Gómez, and Gómez-Camacho, 2020)

manage the balance in all their general and the formal terms. It means that the writers will
implicate and provide all the effective nature through which their writing will reflect a proper
balance in their working. They are not allowed to be bias for any of the topic and their main
focus is to cover all the stance and parts (Friedman, and Kagan, 2017). Their is being required
that in all such writing s their can be managed both the arguments and the evidence with proper
research. No writer can there by being allowed to use any such language in which they are
directly giving the conclusive sentences. The writers will have to use the examples in order to
prove their writing.

enough to score good grades so I decided to bring improvement in it. In order to do so I just

started focusing on the Academic word list, Vocabulary list and all the other Academic
collocation list so as to make my language more formal and professional and this also helped me

information authentic and will also generate and manage to do all the efficient work and
complies to creates a functional and legal academic writing. All this will help in in my future
profession as now I am learning all the general conducts and the terms through which the
management and evaluation can be done for all the writing. I am also learning to integrate and
manage all the writing. As all this will help me to manage a proper academic writing.
