One strategy that can be used to ensure formal work is the avoidance of using contractions.

Using words and phrases involving contractions such as “it’s,” “he’s,” and “where’s” degrades the writing. By using contractions, writing is viewed as elementary. Using “where is” instead of “where’s” appeals more to the reader and displays a more formal creation.
