scientists who

8:22

believe this

8:23

you imagine if you're writing an essay

8:25

or a report or whatever

8:27

that

8:28

you know it's some an expert so

8:30

scientists are probably the the ones

8:32

that believe this so you don't need to

8:34

mention the agent the the people who

8:37

believe this you just say it is believed

8:39

that's a much more appropriate structure

8:41

for a formal writing composition

8:44

again you should know

8:46

how to construct the passive voice

8:48

um it's just about thinking about it and

8:51

while you're writing or in your planning

8:53

stages of writing just thinking about

9:11

want to call them but cohesive devices

9:13

are very important to help with the flow

9:15

of the the composition the writing

9:17

composition

9:19

so they could be very basic ones as i

9:20

said like and but because so

9:24

or they could be more advanced

9:25

sophisticated like furthermore moreover

9:29

nevertheless because you need to think

9:30

about how it flows how the reader is

9:33

going to read it
