Introduction to Academic writing
This document defines academic writing and outlines its key characteristics. Academic writing is the process of presenting ideas in a rational, organized, and logical way by breaking down concepts analytically. It is used in documents like essays, research reports, theses, and academic journals. There are three main types: descriptive writing, which depicts how something looks/feels; narrative writing, which tells a story; and persuasive writing, which aims to convince readers. Academic writing is formal in tone, precise in language, takes a third-person point of view, uses deductive reasoning, and requires planning and outlining ideas before drafting.

May 5, 2022
Dear Ahmed,
I'm back visiting my hometown of Jeddah. It's so nice to be back where I grew up. The corniche is as beautiful as ever with people walking and cycling along the sea. I stopped by the old souq and enjoyed browsing the spice and fabric shops. The smells transported me back to my childhood. I'm having kushari for lunch at one of our favorite places. I bought you back some baklawa and oranges from the local market. I wish you could visit your family with me. I'll be back in Cairo next week.
Missing you,
