Before the debate I thought this text was an academic one because although at the beginning the author uses ordinary words in a simple style of writing, in my view, from the middle of the text to the end he uses technical vocabulary. Besides, it has an essay structure. And although the author does not cite other authors, I have heard it is not necessary if the author is an expert in the subject.
However, after the debate and having listened the counter-arguments I admit they make me doubt and that is why I would like to know the professor's opinion.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteAs you Know, the main purpose of the language is "to make yourself understand" and that is something you manage well, even if you have some mistakes.
As far as I am concerned, I think that the text you wrote is clear but pay attention in the title "is or not why I write...." sound like a literal traduction from spanish, I consider it would be better just saying : "Does Why I write is an academic text? and in that way you keep the doubt if it is or it is not.
On the other hand,I think the word "althoug" is pretty repetitive, you could use something like "moreover, even if the author does not cite bla, bla,bla" or use ordinal numbers.
Bye!
