Use of language

While writing an article, you have to think about a few basic rules.

1) Make sure your language is clear and simple. You do not want to confuse your readers by adding too much unnecessary information. "Clear and simple" does not mean that you can not use difficult words.

2) Think about the length of the sentence. Try not to use more than 20 words in each sentence. This will also contribute to simple and clear sentences.

3) Try to use the active voice instead of the passive voice in your writing. Watch this clip to see the difference between active and passive voice.
