		<description><![CDATA[When to Use Active or Passive Voice We recommend using the active voice in sentences not only when it comes to writing proposals, but other sales documents as well.

		<description><![CDATA[Effective Image Captioning In proposal writing, we highly recommend the use of graphs and images to present your information.
