Read these sentences from Yasmin's essay. Nazario believes that Central American children like Enrique who come to the United St
ates today are refugees and should be treated that way. If they were, she says, such children would not repeatedly have to face the dangers of migration, which bring tears to my eyes. Which word or phrase should Yasmin revise to eliminate informal and subjective language? "believes" "come to" "the dangers of migration" "which bring tears to my eyes"
That phrase would be considered an emotional bias from the author ("brings tears") and is referring to themselves (using "my"), which is looked down upon in academic tone.
Colloquial speech is the linguistic style for casual communication. Basically informal speech, or speech you’d use while talking to friends or someone your age.
