How To Write Good English Essays

Doris Said:

how to write good essay in English?

We Answered:

Read, read, read. Absorb spelling, punctuation, grammar naturally as you do so. Think about what you are reading and what makes it satisfying to read. Then think about what you want to write yourself and how you can make it interesting to the reader. To write anything well, you must have something to say in the first place. You need to have a good opening sentence and a coherent conclusion and hold the reader's interest throughout. See how other writers have achieved this and follow suit until you can emerge as having an individual style of your own.

how to write better english in essays?

We Answered:

- don't use trite/useless words such as: a lot, very, many.
- don't use personal pronouns: I, you. say: one.
- don't use "to be.."
- don't use contractions: can't, won't. instead, say: cannot, will not.
- write using only one tense and stick to it; don't write in both past and present.
- use transitions in and between paragraphs such as: however, nevertheless, although, consequently.
- don't be redundant.
- be specific and get to the point of your paper.
- talk about who, what, when, where, why, how.
- give examples.

- edit, edit, edit. don't write your essay last minute just in case you get more ideas over the next few days.
- have other people edit it too. you can even ask your teacher to help you edit before you turn it in.
- read it aloud so you'll be able to tell if it doesn't sound right.
