Rewrite Passive Voice
Why it matters. Passive voice sentences conceal who is acting and create uneasiness.
Why you write passive. Your writing teachers have trained you to write this way. Also, if you are insecure about what you're saying, you hide it behind passive wording.
How to fix it. Figure out who the actor in the sentence is and make it the subject. For example this Fortune article says that "New ingredients are steadily being added to the job-matching mix." Rewrite as "Startup companies keep adding new job-matching techniques."
