What should you look for? Check these categories:

Language

  • Is the text too formal?
  • Are there no contractions? (do not → don't)
  • Does the writer talk to the reader (you/we)?

Grammar

  • verb forms (he/she/it → -s)
  • word order
  • correct expressions (e.g. influence on, not to)

Structure & Style

  • Is it engaging?
  • Does it include:
    • a hook?
    • personal tone?
    • examples?

Here are some useful fixes:
Make it more informal

  • do not → don't
  • it is → it's
  • many teenagers → a lot of teens

Talk to the reader

  • Replace: It is important with You should think about...
