This document discusses academic writing and business communication. It defines academic writing as using evidence-based arguments, precise language, and logical organization in an impersonal tone. The key steps to effective academic writing are brainstorming, planning and research, drafting, editing, and proofreading. Common types of academic writing include essays, letters, stories, and dialogues. Business communication involves conveying information within or outside an organization for financial benefit and can take the form of reports, proposals, emails, manuals, and more. While academic and business writing have different audiences and purposes, they both require well-developed ideas, a formal tone, correct grammar and formatting.
