\n\tAfter all, it’s not lost!
\n\tThis style of writing is also passive. Make your writing active instead by using:
\n\tI am attaching …
\n\t<\/em>Here is …
\n\t<\/em>Please take a look at my draft …
\n\t<\/em>As promised, I have attached …<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\tWe return<\/em> faulty goods. We return<\/em> to our favourite island resort.
\n\tWe do not need the word back<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor example:
\n\tI am staying<\/em> at the Oberoi Hotel when I visit Mumbai.
\n\tI live<\/em> in Holland Village, Singapore.
\n\tI will stay<\/em> at the Marriott Hotel when I visit Hong Kong next week.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor example:
\n\tUsing<\/em> this printer will save money.
\n\tWe use<\/em> this new technology.
\n\tYou should use<\/em> active voice in your writing, not passive.<\/p>\n
