How to write paragraphs for your essay
15 Jan 10The aim of an essay is to present your arguments or perceptions about a particular subject in written form. Correct use of paragraphs is a good way of getting your points across. When you are planning your essay you should start by writing down the title and then each of your main points.
Consider the presentation of your essay
03 Dec 09The presentation of an essay is very important. When you write essays at school, college or university the teachers are paid to read your work no matter how badly presented it is, but in the real world readers will not persevere with a badly presented piece of writing and an employer may well throw such work back at you.
Three Major Benefits of Using English Writing Software
30 Dec 09Most of us cannot begin to count the times we didn’t bother to use an online grammar checker or spell checker or even proofread it, much less fix any mistakes. We all believe that the emails that we receive should be perfect while those we send are just friendly ramblings.
Tips for getting it right the first time
16 Dec 09Composing a piece of writing such as a letter or article can be a challenge. Having it turn out the way you want it the first time is completely possible though. It’s a matter of knowing what to watch for and staying on track. It’s easy to go off topic when writing or to allow thoughts to blur together. The first thing to remember is that you must pay careful attention and watch out for potential errors.
Letter of Apology
02 Dec 09Sadly, there are times that the friendships most important to us are jeopardized due to what are often minor misunderstandings that get blown far out of proportion. Often the best way to repair the damage that occurs when this is the case is to draft a heartfelt, but simple, letter of apology to the person we’ve offended or hurt.
Letter of Thanks
23 Nov 09Letters of thanks are among the most pleasurable letters to write. Unfortunately, they are also the most overlooked. We are thrilled when someone does something nice for us but often we fail to take a few minutes to properly thank them for their efforts on our behalf.
Letter of Love
23 Nov 09Love letters are among the oldest forms of written communication still prevalent in our society today. These types of letters, though not as common as they once were, still serve as an excellent forum for putting one’s commitment to another down on paper, presumably for all the world to see.
Dictionary Resources for ESL
