• Specificity in language enhances clarity and accuracy. Instead of relying on vague terms like “a lot” or “many,” opt for more precise expressions that quantify or qualify your statements.

Example:

• Replace “a lot of people” with “a significant number of individuals” or “the majority of respondents.” Instead of “many studies,” consider “numerous studies have shown” or “a substantial body of research indicates.”
• Additionally, using figures can add credibility to your writing. For instance, instead of saying “a lot of students,” you could say “approximately 70% of students surveyed indicated a preference for online learning.”
