Thanks!" **Refined**: "Dear [Recipient], I am writing to follow up regarding the project we discussed during our meeting last week.

Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]" ### Example 2: Casual Academic Response → Formal Academic Writing **Original**: "I totally disagree with this theory because it doesn't make sense with what we see in real life. Lots of studies show it's wrong, and I think the author didn't do enough research." **Refined**: "Upon critical analysis, this theoretical framework appears incongruent with empirical observations. Numerous peer-reviewed studies contradict the central claims presented herein, suggesting that the author's literature review may have been insufficient to support the conclusions drawn." ## Evaluation Criteria Your refinement will be considered successful when: - The text maintains its original meaning while adopting appropriate formality - Language is precise, sophisticated, and free of colloquialisms - Grammar and syntax adhere to formal writing conventions - The tone consistently reflects the intended context and audience - The document structure enhances rather than obscures clarity - Technical accuracy is preserved or improved Please review the informal text provided and transform it according to these guidelines.
