Essays literally are my weakness. They also scare me a lot. 😭

It's ironic that in spoken English we use long sentences to sound smart, but in written English we achieve that result with short sentences.

I’m using these tips for my selective exams tommorrow, pray for me

This is useful because I was surprised why my teacher circled “so” and other words in a red pen in most of my essays

Writing is such a skill to have. It’s like forming a puzzle. I’ve always envied people that could tell stories n write.

I'm already a better writer than I was 15 minutes ago, thank you.

Just watching this video has raised my grade up from a 75 to a 95 😍 thank you.

wow i was never taught this kind of stuff at my highschool, surprised i got the grades i did in English

Oh my god! I just realized that I might have been making these mistakes all my life. And, all it took was a few minutes of conscious effort and practice. Thanks, this is super useful.

1.do not use contractions ex.don't can't shouldn't 2.avoid there is &there are 3.don't use really ,a lot ,so &very 4.use active voice 5.use strong verbs

WHO ELSE IS WATCHING THIS IN 2022 AND BEYOND

Emma, this is great! I am recommending it to my students and have sent the video to colleagues. I've even embedded it in a blog post I wrote on academic or formal writing. Really well done and very enjoyable. Brava!

Thank you, Emma. You increased my english knowledge.

I think you can learn from this free video than from the $91 book I had to buy for my English class.

my teacher gave me an extension to submit my assessment and im so happy cause she is so nice and i would be sad if i put no effort into something that she gave me extra time to do

Who else watch this the day before the exam

I always tought Passive voice was more formal than active voice. Thanks!!

Best teacher are not measured through knowledge, experienced and awards that you get or you may gain. What make the teachers absolutely amazing are there dedication, patience and passion to share/teach things that make a person much better than yesterday. Your one of the amazing teacher Ms. Emma. I can tell it when I often see you smile while discussing the lesson. The way you teach reach not just to me but I am sure to all your learner.

Wow. I couldnt agree more. Great tips! I am in school for engineering, however, I wanted to make sure that my communication skills were "clean" and powerful. This helped immensely, you are a fantastic teacher.

This video really helped me. I thought it's more formal and smart to write something in longer sentences 😂

It all makes so much more sense now! Writing English has been difficult for me since I’m bilingual, I lost a lot of writing classes back in school because I didn’t speak the language😣 thank you! I will be using this for sure.

Thank you for your wonderful teaching. I have been learning English for more than an year. My speaking skills got improved. However, I have to improve my writing skills. When I started learning, I came across your videos. When I am looking into your videos, it's becoming more easy for me to correct the mistakes on writing part.

Good teaching better than my English teacher

So HELPFUL OMG Tips for writing: 1. Avoid contractions 2. Avoid there is/there are (sentence become stronger to the point) 3.Avoid really, very, a lot, so (weakens writing) Use “many” or “much” ex:Much of the time is wasted 4. Have subject, verb, object 5.Use strong verbs When you see verb and noun (try to use verb) Example 1 : he gave assistance -> He assisted Ex 2: made an objection -> He objected (Does the noun have verb form?)

Thank you for putting the Arabic translation on the video, your follower from Iraq. Please continue to put it.

This is one of the most useful videos on writings I found on RU-vid

This lesson is resourceful and helpful.

Thank you very much for these tips! I've been delving into the translation business, and your tips have been of great assistance. I'm especially guilty of (over)using "there is/are ...", so now I look specifically for these two once my drafts are done.

You helped a lot in improving my writing skills. Thank you Emma.

Also, I would like to request, not just feature article, but all types of journal writing to be instructed. Because I can learn fast and understand well from your methods of instruction. Hope you make a video lesson about this 😊
