Essays Writing

General Guidelines

Many students find it difficult to write a flawless essay.

There is a no short cut to master the language. 

Read, listen and speak English every day.

When you read you will develop a wide range of vocabulary.

Study how words are used and use a dictionary to learn the meaning of new words.

Reading and having a good vocabulary are not enough for you to write a good essay.
You must have a solid foundation in grammar as well.

What is an Essay?

An Essay is a short piece of writing on a particular subject. (or)  an attempt or effort.

Examples:

I discovered a secret about writing an essay. 

I learned how to not only write a great essay, but how to have fun while doing it. 

An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument. 

Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal.

What is Glossary?

Glossary is an alphabetical list of terms or words found in or relating to a specific subject, text, or dialect, with explanations; a brief dictionary.

What is a Vocabulary?

What is a Dictionary?
