using only 3rd person (no "I think", "I believe", "in our society"...);
2. avoid conjunction starters and preposition endings (prepositional phrase always follows a preposition/conjunctions join ideas);
3. never use also, very, got, thing, very, a lot, in conclusion;
4. write out contractions;
5. vary words by using a thesaurus;
6. choose verbs wisely (avoid linking verbs b/c they weaken your writing);
