WHICH OF THE TWO TEXTS SOUNDS MORE ACADEMIC OR SCIENTIFIC? WHY? TEXT 1: All organisms reproduce and sometimes when they reproduce, the children vary. This is an important characteristic of life. TEXT 2: Reproduction with variation is a major characteristic of life. TEXT 1: If organisms did nor reproduce, life would quickly come to an end. TEXT 2: Without reproduction, life would quickly come to an end. TEXT 1: How did the earliest single-celled organisms reproduce? They duplicated their genetic material and then they divided in two. TEXT 2: The earliest single-celled organisms reproduced by duplicating their genetic material and then dividing in two. TEXT 1: Two daughter cells resulted from this process; they were identical to each other and to the parent cell. But sometimes as the genes duplicated, they changed or mutated. TEXT 2: The two resulting daughter cells were identical to each other and to the parent cell, except for mutations that occurred during the process of gene duplication. Can you do the same with these two sentences: 1. The batteries in the doll corroded big time because they were old. 2. They have informed us. Now we can ask lots of precise questions. http://www.uefap.com/writing/exercise/feature/div_life.htm http://www.uefap.com/writing/exercise/feature/motivation.htm
