hey every one this is my first topic in this forum !
my name is snorlax .. u can call me snor as a shortcut .. am a college student and I wanted to discuss one of the biggest issues that i have faced in writing
writing was easy for me at high school but in college its a different level of writing !
i think all of u heard of essays ! .. they are evil when u first know them cuz they are hard in the beginning !
every thing is hard when u start .. just put enough time and effort and you’d get what u desire ..
that’s what I believe .. but its cool if u disagree .. for example some people say that writing is a gift and they compare it to drawing ! .. cuz u cant learn how to draw .. but u can improve it .. and I think that academic writing can be taught !
ok I am talk way to much here .. lets get this straight !
this is an essay i wrote about how to write the perfect essay in my first year .. I know its pretty bad but it might be beneficial for u !
oh another thing don’t consider my punctuation .. I still don’t follow them right !
half of the knowledge is to say I DONT KNOW
نصف العلم أن تقول لا أعلم ! :D
ماذا يحدث ان قلتها مرتين :33:
LOL that was lame! .. any way

Want to get an “A” in a writing class? Let me teach you how to write the perfect essay.
A perfect essay must contain an introduction, supporting ideas, and a conclusion. The introduction is made of a hook and a thesis statement. After that start writing your supporting ideas and end your essay with a conclusion.
Start with writing a hook. Think of your self reading an article what would attract you. Usually a hook is a fact, something unusual, something funny, sometimes it can be a question that you are not sure of its answer. After writing the hook start thinking of where your essay is going. Writing a thesis statement is the way your ideas are going.
A perfect essay needs a good introduction. A good introduction contains a hook, thesis statement and some background information about the topic.” Some people ask how much do I need to explain?” Write the essay as if you are trying to explain something to one of your pears. Imagine him not knowing anything about the topic and give a brief background. Make it concise and clear.
Before you start writing your reasons try to brainstorm. Brainstorming is a good way to put all your thoughts on the table. Afterwards choose the strong reasons to argue about and to convince the reader why do you believe you are right.
After writing the introduction follow your thesis statement a reason after another, support the main idea of the essay each paragraph should focus on one big idea. The rest of the paragraph should give specific examples or reasons that support the detail.
Now, we have a good introduction with a full background and an attractive hook, supporting reasons and details for the main idea but we still one more step to write the perfect essay. What is left is the conclusion. The conclusion is basically a summary of all your thoughts. Try not to write the introduction again. Restate your idea and quickly summarize your details. When your reader put your essay down they will feel like the learned something.

ok let me give u a hint .. when u first begin writing notice that u don’t use casual words like am doing now !
and make sure that u start with a topic u know enough about so u don’t have to go and do some research ... .. yes that would be a pain ...
ok he is a good trick .. i know a lot of you don’t know all the words in English .. and when they write .. their writing does not look that good .. so what u have to do is .. shade the word in Microsoft word and click f7 .. you’ll find lots of similar words that would make u look more smart somehow ;)
don’t use it too much ! people will know that you are faking it !
one more thing .. please feel free to ask any questions !
