 Hi, welcome to this video. I would like to discuss in this video a very important point that is related to the author position in academic writing. The first point is related to the voice, especially the use of passive voice. English defines clearly the use of passive voice. However, in general, writers recommend the use of active voice than passive, even though if you use a software to check the grammar and style of your text, in general the software recommends the use of active voice too.
