Writing exercise question
How can I write these words more academically?

1. The competition faced by U.S. growers from imports of fresh vegetables 'has gotten more intense'.
2. Many urban areas 'do not have enough' land to build new public schools.
3. Allergic reactions to local dental anesthesia 'do not happen very often'.
4. The doors on these ferries 'were made bigger to make it easier to load and unload vehicles'.

For example I used 'have lack of' rather than 'do not have enough' as: ''Many urban areas have lack of land.... ''

Thank you from now on.

Answer

Hello,

I don't understand what you mean by academically, as the choice of words varies greatly depending on the academic field that you are working on. For example, if you study science and math the word choice will be different from that of a law student. However, I have changed them to sound less wordy.

1. The competition faced by U.S. growers from imports of fresh vegetables has intensified. 
2. Many urban areas lack enough land to build new public schools.
3. Allergic reactions to local dental anesthesia rarely happen.  
4. The doors on these ferries were enlarged to facilitate loading and unloading vehicles.
