about Academic style by Umene

The first moment professor Stan entered the discussion room he had a
lot of books in his arm and for a moment I thought we had to read all
those books in the class, but what the professor did was pick one
student per book and had them read one paragraph out loud to the
class. He said that it is ridiculous that most of the students believe
there is an academic style that we have to, and must, follow making
the essay more difficult to write and difficult to express in our own
thoughts, well, at least for me. It was a surprise for me to listen to
the paragraphs my classmates read out loud because they were like
novels in that they were really beautifully expressed  which made it
easier for me to follow and imagine the situation and the visions of
the book.  I learned in the that there isn’t one formal academic
writing style to express one’s own thoughts, but what we call academic
writing is only one example of the many styles people use which can
make it easier for students to write an essay for the first time.
These academic writings we were forced to follow was a style which was
laid down in the entrance of the academic world, and it is up to us if
we want to stop there, or choose to go more interior to find our own
style.
