Today we're going to deal with academic writing and linking devices. When writing an academic text, the author needs to be aware of the use of expressions and vocabulary. The writing must be formal. The following text is an good example of an academic text. I will underline the expressions which make it formal.
The Judiciary of England and Wales and Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service pride themselves on
their friendly and effective relations with other judiciaries around the world. Every year we welcome many
judges from other countries who are keen to learn more about our legal system. What you see today has
evolved over 1,000 years; the judiciary is continuing to change and develop to meet the needs of our society
and is widely regarded as one of the best and most independent in the world.
To meet the needs of society, our legal system is also complex. The International Team of the Judicial Of ce has produced a Visitors’ Guide to bring together a wealth of information about our judiciary and legal system it also provides an introduction to the work of organisations, such as the Ministry of Justice and the Crown Prosecution Service which support the justice system.
I believe this Guide will be an invaluable resource for any foreign visitor seeking to learn more about England and Wales today, the Judiciary of England & Wales and the English and Welsh legal system, and that it will enhance the quality of your visit. Please do take the time to read it. The excellent website for the Judiciary https://www.judiciary.gov.uk covers many of the topics discussed in this Guide in more detail.
I am grateful to the International Team for their work on compiling this Guide. I very much hope your visit to England and Wales is productive and enjoyable.
