Read this excerpt from a style guide. Some writers weigh down their sentences with words and phrases that are about the writer's or reader's process of observing or expressing, rather than about the topic. Instead of “The experimenter observed that the litmus paper changed color,” it is usually better to write simply, “The litmus paper changed color,” unless the extra words add significant meaning—for example, if you want to emphasize the role of the observer rather than the color change.
