- For applicants who have little exposure to writing or have not written academic or scholarly
papers, it will be more tedious to relearn the educational format in writing.
- In writing, grammar gives weight to represent the reliability of your paper. However, some
applicants with grammatically correct REAPs missed key points to improve your proposal.
- As often, write in ‘Active’ voice as this promotes action and movement to your
paper. Check a selection of phrase banks to see the choice of words that best fit in
your context.
- Do not use contractions such as ‘Don’t, What’s, and Would’ve’ as these make your
sentences more informal.
o Avoid using ‘A lot, Really, There is/are’ because removing these words can make the
essence of the argument stronger and straightforward.
