Some people are scared of essays. We shouldn't be. It is just like you are talking and explaining your idea to someone and to everyone.Way back in the past; in elementary, in high school and in college days - I finished immediately answering essay questions ahead of others. I felt very good with it, and not exhausted. In fact, I felt made-up. I didn't know how it happens.First thing: Read the question carefully. See what it requires. Know your time limit.Next Be ready with the facts. Your facts must be authentic and correct. No "if's.Next Think how you will make your paragraphs. Is there any style that you want to follow? Try to make an outline. Organize carefully.Next Explain your answer, write your essay.During my comprehensives in my masteral study: I flanked one essay question because one data was wrong. That wrong answer came to be critical because I was describing a book with a wrong author. That was carelessness.The other one was a creative nonfiction attempt of a national hero who I can't identify vividly. My language was poor at the start because of little writing practice ( I'm from a different major, but struggling to be a writer). But then I pushed on and here I am. Writing was my dream and as soon as I could come back to it I had to free these rigid and humongous ideas. I have eked my way into this writing endeavor. I was in a school for more than four years, including the residency (on which I studied on my own and tried to read almost all the books at De La Salle Library). Suddenly I stopped, to work and go to Vietnam.And then, I'm back.
Remember in your essay, you must have a beginning, a middle and end. It's like in a story. Make a striking beginning sentence, develop and explain the middle paragraphs, then close with a concluding sentence that would mark into the reader's mind.Your paragraphs must be logical focusing entirely on the theme. Give specifics when you explain.Take the following writing tips: 1. Write to a particular audience. 2. Remember a coherent structure. 3. Try to share a good insight in your essay. What is your point? What do you want to share/let me read. Does it make any sense?Usually those who fail essays, is the inadequacy to produce a focused answer. It is not the lack of grammatical accuracy. Of course, grammar counts but what we're looking in the essay question is the answer and how you explain about it. |
