Essay Writing

Writing essays is not as simple as many people think as it requires a lot of hard work, time and patience. An essay illustrates the writer’s ability to analize, bring arguments and examples to sustain his/her opinions related to a given topic.
Most essays are written for academic audience, that is why you should choose formal style, which means you should avoid using slang, colloquial vocabulary, idioms, contracted forms.When evaluating an essay, the teacher will take into consideration the following: task achievement, language accuracy, register and vocabulary, organization, coherence, cohesion, layout and the overall effect of your essay.
Task achievement refers to the relevance to the given task and the coverage of the points required. You should avoid irrelevant details and unnecessary repetitions or imbalance, that is all points are covered but some of them are covered in little detail.
Language accuracy refers to grammar and spelling errors and the range of grammar structures. That is why you should check your essay several times before typing it.
Register and vocabulary refers to the writer’s wrong choice of style, to the use of contracted forms or the innapropriate choice of words/vocabulary. Avoid using simplistic vocabulary or very emotional language.
Organization, coherence, cohesion and layout section includes as the most typical mistakes an incorrect organisation of the essay, an abrupt ending or even no ending. Pay attention to the length of your sentences. They shouldn’t be too long or extremely complex. Do not use the same linking devices throughout your essay. Do not forget about the correct structure and paragraphing of an essay: introduction, body, conclusion.
