However, through changing the selection of the words, I repeated the same contents unconsciously. Therefore, to avoid repetition, in the revised paragraph, I tried to deliver only the important message in one sentence. In addition, to put all information into one sentence, I had to choose the simple and the most suitable words to explain the information briefly. Also, when I focused on the rhetorical situation, I noticed that I should pick up some formal terms in order to make these sentences suit to the academic essay.
