Understanding purpose and register



In this case, we have to pay attention to the purpose of our essay.  We write to persuade, inform, entertain or describe something.  Each one of these alternatives have a clear objective and the way we are going to present demand a different style, register or tone on the text.  Moreover, it has a different audience, which has to be considered.
Writing an essay has a clear purpose to inform something, a relevant subject, so you have to be careful with the ideas you are going to express.  You have to use a formal language and an academic register.
