So... basically, I have to write essays for both my French and German exams this coming June, and I *hate* essays. I mean, they're not too bad... I'm definately getting better - as proved by my General Studies result! :P Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for writing essays..(?)

Here are some of the things I'm needing help with::

- Introductions.
- Conclusions.
- Layout.
- Discursive essays.
- And non-discursive essays.

Any help...? :? Would be much appreciated!! :P

I wrote this article!

Kind of lame, but yeah! ^_^

Also, and I know this sounds revoltingly simple, but still...


1. Tell the person what you are going to talk about.

2. Talk about it.

3. Tell the person what you talked about.


Really. That goes for public speaking, essays, and anything else really. A format for success!

I hope that helps, as a starter anyway...

There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.
