Essays that are easily understandable have exceptional clarity.
Use simple words and phrases . Instead of “empirical feedback” use “feedback”. It focuses readers on the ideas being conveyed rather than the meaning of the words.
Write succinctly and directly . Break down long sentences into shorter ones. Instead of “just so I could”, write “because”. Avoid putting multiple ideas in a sentence. If a word isn’t necessary, cut it. Most adjectives and adverbs can be cut from writing. Write “happy” instead of “very happy.”
