Paragraph Feedback Legend

A lower percentage of highlighted words indicates stronger, more concise writing. Aim for a percentage below 45% as a Junior and below 35% as a Senior.

Red Highlight (Passive Verbs)

Passive voice can make your writing feel weak or unclear. Active voice is often more direct and engaging.

Example: The ball was thrown by him. → Revision: He threw the ball.

Blue Highlight (Adverbs)

Adverbs can be useful, but overusing them can weaken your writing. Try replacing a verb and an adverb with a single, stronger verb.

Example: She ran quickly. → Revision: She sprinted.

Green Highlight (Basic Words)

These words are common and can be replaced with more descriptive or sophisticated synonyms to elevate your writing.

Example: The movie was good. → Revision: The movie was exceptional.

Yellow Highlight (Stop Words)

These are very common, short words that can sometimes clutter your writing. While necessary, a high percentage might suggest sentences that are less concise.
