English Academic Writing I: Academic Word List (AWL) Examples

 

In the 2nd day of our class, we learn about the Academic Word List (AWL) Exercise from some journal that has already published. These are the examples of the journal that I have taken:

1. access

• GPM gave us permits in accessing to the records from 28 April to 13 May 2013.

• The authors have a direct access to the expertise behind its set-up. 

2. approximate

• We can assume that SNR can thus be approximated by that overall magnitude of the SNR is large and mainly driven by the direct signal.

• This formula was chosen approximately equal to 3 times the maximum variation of sea level observed during the lowest tide period (i.e. ~ 3 ∗ 4 m/6 h). 

3. acquire

• We applied the method presented above to the SNR data acquired with a geodetic antenna set up at ~ 60 meters above the surface of the Atlantic ocean, at Cordouan lighthouse.

• Our method is validated with SNR data for acquiring on an offshore site of 60-meter height.

4. adapt

• As in recent studies (Larson et al., 2013), this dominant frequency is estimated using the LSP which seems to be a well-adapted solution.

• That system adapts for coastal areas and estuaries.

5. affect

• The reflected signal will affect the SNR by producing a high frequency associated with small amplitude perturbation w.r.t the direct signal.

• The larger the size of the smoving window, the more numerous the estimations of h affected by this offset.
