Desciptive Essay Samples and Improving Grammar

Desciptive Essay Samples and Improving GrammarDesciptive essay samples have long been used in preparing personal and professional essays. The number of examples of which I can write has always decreased as my knowledge of English education and writing and my need for longer examples continues to increase.As far as writing is concerned, I've seen much in the way of sloppy and inelegant writing in some of my students, teachers, and teachers' children. Some of these have shown marked improvement since I assigned them a few hours of writing time. Perhaps, some of this is a little more psychological than anything else.Writing for long essays today isn't about choosing one's words carefully. It's about choosing those words without sacrificing meaning or functionality. Sometimes this requires not using lengthy and irrelevant keywords. In these situations it seems to me that even though the student would like to have the essay out in the world as soon as possible, the very fact that the essa y might be ruined by improper keyword selection or spelling, might be a deterrent.Fortunately I haven't yet seen any school or college instructor who has created a rule that you must write an essay with a few minutes to spare. With the proper help and support, however, it can be done. Although with a few of my current students I've written a couple of essays in just a few minutes, with others it has taken twice as long. Of course it can take more than a couple of minutes, but to make things easier, most of these students have more than one essay due at a given time.When writing long essays, there is a very important part of the writing process which is learning to become proficient at the necessary talent of capturing what is going on in your mind, creating complex sentences, and also managing to convey ideas clearly to others. For this there are some simple exercises, which should be practiced and/or taught to students. Some of these are discussed in my books, as well as through my staff. The more that students become familiar with these strategies, the more confidence they will develop to write longer and complex essays.Learning how to write well also means learning how to listen as well. Even if you aren't consciously paying attention, your brain is doing what it is supposed to do, which is to produce the best possible version of your ideas. This is a skill that can be developed with practice with an eye to mastering it. It's not only an important skill in the writing process, but also a skill that is essential in the listening process. This makes it a skill that is necessary if you want to find success in any area of life.Students who are well-read in literature, history, and other related subjects tend to have very clear and concise essays. On the other hand, students who are not highly skilled at the art of eloquence (or with which to achieve that skill) often end up with long paragraphs, or worse, poor grammar. These skills are also critical in writing professionally.
