Students who have already taken your class can be really helpful providing some essay advice –especially if they had your same teacher back then-. Ask them how they marked the essay so you know from beforehand what to take into account: is your teacher especially focused on grammar? Or does he like a lot of quotes in the essay?

This is one of the most popular essay topics among school students. Love essays have the advantage that every student has experienced such a wonderful and amazing feeling (although sometimes can be quite painful and frustrating). So don’t complain if your teacher requests you to write an essay on this topic, because you could do much worse! A love essay can be quite interesting to write, although you should focus on “serious” topics and not only describe how wonderful, cute and lovely is your current sweetheart.
Here is some advice for writing a great essay on the topic of love and feelings in general.

What exactly turns an essay into a “good” essay? There are some basic things: organization, facts display, proper quoting, the required word count and, of course, good grammar and spelling. But the essay style is also important. That means, the way you write your sentences, how you direct yourself to the reader or underline your points of view. All of it provides the work with a professional look not all essays have.
You may probably be wondering by now: how can I improve my essay style? Keep reading and you will find out.

History teachers ask for essays many, many times. More than desirable, certainly. That is because history is a discipline which cannot be studied only by reading books. History essays give the students the chance to demonstrate their knowledge acquisition through many abilities: facts distribution; comprehension of processes, causes and consequences; handling of academic bibliography as well as other sources (newspapers and magazines, the Internet, documents, letters, photographs, etc.). Besides, teachers like written productions: they base their grades almost entirely on them. That is why your history essay should be accurate and clear.

Writing an essay is an activity that involves a lot of techniques used for getting the reader’s full attention, from the essay’s title to the very last word. This is especially true when you are working on a speech essay, which you will later read in front of an audience.

If it is the first time you are preparing this sort of essay, you should keep in mind these tips.

This is a very popular topic for school essays nowadays. A Shrek essay has the advantage that every student has watched the movie, or at least has some idea on who this “big, stupid, ugly ogre” is (actually, a brave, good hearted antihero of our time). So don’t freak out if a teacher asks you to write an essay on this topic, because you could do much worse! Shrek essays are funny to write and read, although you should focus on “serious” topics and not only repeat the best jokes on any film of the Shrek series.
Today, everyone is talking about Shrek again, since the fourth (and, apparently, last) film of the series is about to be released by DreamWorks. With “Shrek forever after”, the series of adventures will be completed. We suggest you to at least watch the first film in order to write a proper essay.

All through your academic career, probably starting in school and most likely, later too, you will be required to write a lot. Writing is a significant part of many jobs.

The good news is, you are probably able to acquire writing skills by yourself. Writing training is something anyone can try. Here we provide you with some tips to improve your writing skills and make you feel much comfortable next time a teacher asks for an essay writing task.

Every now and then, a teacher asks you to hand in a school essay.

There are many things you can learn from writing school essays, as boring as they may sound they are a task which provides you with certain tools you will need to use all your academic life. So before starting to write on your next paper, keep reading this so you can realize why are essays significant for you as well as your teachers.

When you are asked to write an essay –no matter if it is a 500, 1000 or 5000 words long-, the best you can do is to always start with a plan. Planning an essay makes things much easier. It gives you the chance to organize your time so you can meet your deadlines accordingly. It helps you distribute the information in a clear way. And it provides you with a true sense of safety, since you are already half way done even before writing the first paragraph of the paper. What are you waiting for preparing your first essay plan?

There are many different essays a student may be required to write. If today you are working on a film essay, consider yourself lucky: this kind of essay is quite simple, doesn’t require to read a lot of books and can even be fun to prepare. Writing about a film is in some ways similar as writing a literary essay about a book. The difference is that it takes a couple of hours to see the film… and sometimes a couple of months to read the book!
Are you in search for ideas? Read in your local newspaper the latest film reviews. Journalists write film essays for a living –even if shorter and simpler than the one you need to write-. Pretend to be a journalist for a while. Forget that the teacher asked for this essay. Write it as if you were working for a school publishing or an important journal. You may even end up having some fun while working!
