This kind of paper may describe a study that changes ourunderstanding of a topic or describes and illustrates a new and highly useful research method. These kinds ofarticles are often referred to as seminal or classic papers.2 Everyday language is predominantly subjective. It is mainly used to express opinions based on personalpreference or belief rather than evidence. Written academic English is formal. It avoids colloquialisms andslang, which may be subject to local and social variations. Formal language is more precise and stable, andtherefore more suitable for the expression of complex ideas and the development of reasoned arguments.Case Study – Zhang FamilyDaiyu Zhang is a 31-year-old female who, in 2009, married her 37-year-old husband, JinZhang. After trying to conceive for 2 years, Daiyu fell pregnant in 2011 but unfortunatelymiscarried at 8 weeks gestation.

Jin’s parents, who have been married since 1977, alsoimmigrated to Australia at the same time, because Jin, as the only son, wanted to continue toprovide financial support for his father Wei Zhang (74) and mother Ling Zhang (67).Although Daiyu is happy to have moved with her husband and to provide support for herparents in law, she misses her family that she left back in China, especially since the birth ofher second daughter Olivia 6 months ago.
