Here Are The Tips On How To Write A Good Essay
camping trip at the beach with your family. Avoid including stuff like:
"When I woke up that morning, I went to the toilet to brush my teeth and wash my face.
After that, I dressed up and went downstairs to have my breakfast. I have bread and butter
for breakfast..."
You can put it this way:
"When I woke up that morning, I was excited as my whole family would be going on a
camping trip at the beach. After getting everything ready, we set off for the beach in my
father's van..."
You can continue the essay by describing all the interesting things that you and your family
saw and did at the beach. It is a good idea to write about your own experience, since it
shows originality. When writing essays, it is also important to write about logical things.
Stated above are the important points to note. Apart from those based on the criteria, other
points to take note of include:
i) Practise writing essays, since 'practice makes perfect'. Besides school assignments, try
to write more essays and have someone qualified to correct them for you. When you make
mistakes, learn from them and make it a point not to repeat them again, in order to improve
your writing skills effectively. When practising, learn to finish an essay within the time frame
given. For instance, in SPM, you have about an hour to complete an essay. Spend about
10 minutes, 35 minutes and 15 minutes on planning, writing and checking the essay
respectively. If you wish to, you can submit your essays to Dr Grammar. After Dr Grammar
has corrected your essays, they will be included in the "Students' Essays" section. You can
then compare the corrected essay with your original essay to find out where your weak
points are and improve accordingly.
ii) Remember, there are no short cuts to success. Essay writing skills take time to develop.
There goes the saying, 'Rome wasn't built in a day'. Diligence and perseverance are the
keys to success. Do not give up until you succeed. If you face problems or have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact Dr Grammar.
iii) Look at the past year papers and study the examination format. Then, refer to the model
answers and familiarise yourself with the answering techniques in order to score high
marks.
To summarise:
1 Learn and know the grammar rules well.
2 Do more reading, as it helps in all aspects of writing good essays.
3 Practise writing essays and learn from your mistakes.
Good luck to you in all your examinations!
