🌼 Introductory Paragraph

    Learning Descriptive Text is important because it helps us express what we see, feel, and think about the people around us. (Mempelajari teks deskriptif itu penting karena membantu kita mengekspresikan apa yang kita lihat, rasakan, dan pikirkan tentang orang-orang di sekitar kita.)

    Through descriptive writing, we can share how someone looks, acts, and what makes them special in our eyes. (Melalui tulisan deskriptif, kita bisa menceritakan seperti apa penampilan seseorang, bagaimana sikapnya, dan apa yang membuatnya istimewa di mata kita.)

PASSIVE VOICE - Unlocking the Power of the Passive Voice - by: Jazimah Aprilia

Unlocking the Power of the Passive Voice: When and How to Use It

        If you've ever been taught about writing, you've probably heard the advice, "Use the active voice!" It's a common refrain in classrooms and writing workshops, and it's true that the active voice often makes writing more concise and direct. However, there's another side to the story, and it involves the passive voice.

The Great Wall of China is often regarded as one of the most remarkable architectural achievements in human history

        The passive voice is a construction that flips the traditional subject-verb-object order found in active voice sentences. Instead of the subject performing the action, the subject receives the action, making the writing more complex. But before you dismiss the passive voice as something to be avoided, let's explore when and how it can be a valuable tool in your writing toolkit.
