How to Polish Lab Report English Without Changing the Method

The danger in polishing a lab report is rarely a dramatic rewrite. It is a small upgrade that quietly changes the science. A sentence becomes smoother, but measured becomes showed. Suggests becomes proves. A limitation turns into a conclusion. The English looks cleaner; the method is now less honest. That is the kind of revision international students need to catch before submission.

Before rewriting, mark four things in the draft: the experimental object, the variables, the apparatus or condition, and the strength of the result. Phrases such as maintained at 25°C, filtered twice, observed under the microscope, and may indicate are not decorative. They tell the reader what actually happened. Easydue can help with rhythm and clarity, but those technical boundaries should remain visible during review.

A safer order starts with the method section. It does not need to sound elegant; it needs to be reproducible. Then review the results section for numbers, units, significance language, and trend words. Only after that should you polish the discussion, where the main risk is overconfidence. Scientific English often needs restraint more than drama.
