Creating Strong and Interesting Writing:(Part One)
How to do it? Easy, it is a piece of cake; writing will be interesting if you make it exactly as the way people speak. People speak use active sentences rather than passive sentences. It is simpler than written report. Let me give you few examples:
Passive:
I was told by my mother to go to buy some cookies.
Active:
My mother asked me to buy some cookies.
Important:
Anyway, passive voices are not all bad. They can be very useful when the doer of the action is unknown, the object is more important than the doer and when it is shorter than active sentences.
It is interesting to note that passive voice is definite and it is not being questioned and always Dictators write or speak using it. For example:
It has been noted that you will be fired by the end of this month.
