Tips for succeeding in this essay and those to come

Let’s face it: writing is not your forté. Even so, all through your academic life you will have to deal with many, many writing tasks. In this essay, the one you are preparing today, you have a chance to change for good, and do things right!
Do you often wonder how is it that you don’t get more than C minus essay marks while other students get straight A’s? How come other students always write the best essays while others, like yourself, are always trying harder for nothing? Is there such thing as an “essay recipe” that they know of, and you don’t? While it is (sadly) true that some people are more skilled at writing tasks –and if you have read up to here, we may assume that’s not your case-, you can’t trust your writing skills only. In fact, you can always learn new things and improve your writing with practice.
So, don’t freak out. You can also write a great essay. Do not expect them to be magical, but with these tips, you may write much better and get a high mark in this essay as well as in those to come.
