<p>I know this is really a dumb question, but I just don't understand it.</p>
<p>Searched online and still didn't find it. </p>
<p>What is meant when they say the essay should preferably be written in active voice?</p>
<p>I know the difference between active and passive and I am not all that bad in English, I don't know how this applies in the essay</p>
<p>“The cake was decorated beautifully by the pastry chef.”</p>
<p>“The pastry chef decorated the cake beautifully.”</p>
<p>If given the choice between these two options, choose to write the one with active voice instead of the passive one because it is clearer and stronger.</p>
<p>Oh that way.</p>
<p>The whole essay should be preferably written in active . </p>
<p>So if a sentence is for example - Rachel was loved by everybody, especially Ross.</p>
<p>It is better to write it as " Everybody, especially Ross loved Rachel " ?</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m a big fan of F.R.I.E.N.D.S</p>
