For this checkpoint piece, try to use nominalisation techniques to slim down this snippet and make it more precise..

Those who love science often think they are fighting against superstitious and religious people, and the ones who speak the loudest are often really polarising.

If we are trying to tell everyone about science in order to make the world a better place, we shouldn’t let all the really dramatic people who are fighting about it distract us from what we want to achieve.

Start by making a list of nouns that you could use.

  • What words have direct conversions?
  • Are there any phrases that you could summarise?

Once you have your noun list, start putting them together into sentences.

  • Treat your nominalised processes and qualities like they are "characters" or "things" in the world.
  • You can also use prepositions to turn your nominalisations into details and circumstances.
  • If you want an extra challenge, try squeezing information into complex noun groups to make your response even more compressed.
Write your version of the snippet, using nominalisations.
