is by paying attention to verbs.
1. English is rich

in verbs. So the use of vague verbs or long phrases is unnecessary. Convert “takes a look at” into “examine”, “talks about in details” into “analyzes”.
2. Weak action verbs (do, get, have, go, make, say, etc.)can often be replaced by stronger ones. E.g. “has”- “displays”, “exemplifies”, “demonstrates”, etc.

adverb can usually be treated similarly (“talk heatedly” –

“argue”) as can those paired with the nouns (“make an argument”- “argue”, “give an explanation” - explain).
4. Do not use can’t, won’t, etc. Instead use cannot, will not, etc.
5. And as much as possible make sure your verbs are in the active voice: “He threw the ball” rather than “The ball was thrown”. As you can see passive voice is wordier and less direct.
