Essays literally are my weakness. They also scare me a lot. 😭
I feel you bro...
Me too bro
I’m so good at math and science but I literally cannot write an essay for shit. I put so much hard work but I don’t get good grade

Goddamn same
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.
CM Randall and.
Why is that ironic?
because people prefer listening more than reading
CM Randall My sentences are always too long whenever I'm writing
Cause a reader will be bored if the sentence is too long
I'm already a better writer than I was 15 minutes ago, thank you.
😂good keep it up😂
This is useful because I was surprised why my teacher circled “so” and other words in a red pen in most of my essays

I need help but I have no one to help me.
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 using these tips for my selective exams tommorrow, pray for me

wow i was never taught this kind of stuff at my highschool, surprised i got the grades i did in English
For the past year or two my teachers haven’t taught me anything new
Exotic Cats so did mine
Exotic Cats all they did was do the whole thing again. Notthing new
Dont tell me they never taught abt contractions
sorry,the passive voice
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.
Just watching this video has raised my grade up from a 75 to a 95 😍 thank you.
Awesome bro you maded this video work in your exams
How!? I had a 78% and I got 5 A’s in a row, and I still don’t even have a 85% yet
You saying that gives me hope
You guys even get 75?

I attend university online, at Ashford University. Your videos have helped me, so much in my writing. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Good
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
aw that’s sweet
Great
Uhhh
@@CrystalFaith294 I can help with assignments and essays
This video really helped me.
I thought it's more formal and smart to write something in longer sentences 😂
Me too😂😂
Me too lmao I swore "conducted an investigation" sounded formal and smart sajdasd
I always tought Passive voice was more formal than active voice. Thanks!!
I think you can learn from this free video than from the $91 book I had to buy for my English class.
Your sentence seems incomplete?
sebastian cuello I bet money you did not even read the 91$ book, yet you complain how useless the book is. Take the easy route and watch videos, that would help you more than reading a book, you mundane fool.
sebastian cuello o
Whether you prefer watching videos or reading books, continue to practice you writing skills. Finding books your are interested in reading will help your writing improve as well.

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.
Thank you, Emma. You increased my english knowledge.

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!
I have been learning English for one year and I always love your videos on RUclips. I’ve learned many things and today I learn to be a good writer. Thank you for always sharing.
I got 86 (overall) and 22 on the speaking section and 21 in writing. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Without them, I could not make it.

Ironic actually, short sentences are powerful, to the points, thanks Emma, you are something else.😊

I wasn't taught like this ever in my whole life, I understood everything what you taught, thank you mam, this was very useful ❤
I am very grateful for this type of support to those of us who need it. Much appreciated!
I agree
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.
Thanks for the upload and to all the teachers out there thank you so much.💗
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, Emma.
Thank you so much. I can use these tips for my students and my own essay. These tips apply to writing in other languages too.
I just love how you explain everything and that helps significantly
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.

I wanted to say that this video really helped me with feeling stressed and knowledge
Thank you 😊
Short, simple, and educational. I was making at least three of the mistakes every single time that I wrote a formal letter. Thanks!
Definitely need this! I’m taking this written exam for transfer students in a hour! Wish me luck
There are a lot of tips in your video that really helps me :)
avoid using really:PP
Emine aygün (There are) & (a lot of) too :P
And just "help" no s
Hahaha
apparently you DID NOT pay attention that much. She CLEARLY said do not use "THERE ARE". But then again i do not agree with the instructor in alot of things like at 2:11 she should have wrote, Students face many issues at the University or Universities if She didnt want to use "THE" in the sentence. Unless the University is the name of the university but i doubt that, hopefully.
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?)
1. Avoid using *contractions*
2. Avoid using *there is/there are*
3. Avoid using *alot, really, very, so*
4. Instead of using *passive voice* use *action voice*
➡️subject, verb then the object
5. Use *strong verbs*
Just for easier reference for u guys and myself
Don’t need thank me😜
I’m like alr over the age of learning grammar but I’m learning cuz I just got a borderline pass of 50+ for English but I need to get 70+ to graduate my school and get into the school that I want
*a lot

Good teaching better than my English teacher

What if you teacher reads this!😯
You have this ability to make me focus on what you're saying. I usually skip 10+seconds forward and I'm suprised I didn't in this video.
Anyways, thank you! I learned a lot.
Very useful tips! Thanks!
Che que buen video el de hoy
Hey there. if anyone of you needs help with any of their writing assignments be it literature review, annotated bibliography, letter applications, essays , dissertations, research papers, etc. in any course or subject please get in touch with me through my email (rebeccabeverly630@gmail.com) and I will be glad to help you out. TIA.
Great tips! I also say avoid using phrasal verbs. For example: give up = forfeit; go down = decrease; do over = repeat.
This usually improves formality. It also helps shorten sentences, like your tips #2, #4 and #5. Simplicity is key :)
Thank you (from Thailand student.)
I love this video. Explains concepts I never understood. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for making video. I’m currently taking an English first year college reading and writing course I’m having a hard time constructing my sentence. English is not native language, I’m glad I can watch your videos and learn. Thank you.
- By the way I love your teaching styles, clear and easy to understand plus your voice is comforting.

I'm learning more English from you. English is my first language and I can barely speak it correctly. Thank you so much!
I bet you're quite a good teacher ❤️❤️, very patient and comprehensible
knowledge is fun 😊
Lender Sneaks you're such a Ravenclaw xD.
Are you serious?! Knowledge is useless for gamers!
*_Watching this video and says Knowledge is the best_*
*Edit: You must be a gamer to read this.*
Knowledge is fun
But I’m to lazy to gain such a magnificent thing
That depends on the way you interact with it.
this video is helping us to improve our english skills and its a great platform to enhance our english writing skills Thanks Emma
thaingk you for teaching us😌😌
You have no clue how helpful your video is...Thank you!
u r an excellent teacher. You taught me the lesson which i had failed to learn during my whole academic years. Thank u teacher.
Oh! yes, your smile is great! Love u!
I'm 9 and this helped me
Yeah I know u are weird if u reply

U a perverted sick weirdo

This lesson is resourceful and helpful.
Thank you so much teacher. Every day I watch your videos to improve my knowledge.
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 😊
Simple and straight to the point. Excellent teacher.

Your teaching was superb. Thanks
This lesson was "really" "very" useful, "so" thank you!
I dreamt of making my writing skills stronger and from nowhere I landed to this video. Again thank you
This helped me out for my grade five writing! I'm 9, I do grade six by the way
Keep up the good work Miss. Emma!
Mam, I know, i got late, but its very interesting to follow your lectures on English grammar, and i really like your way of teaching, Thanks mam
Awesome tips, very useful for GCSE English.
You're a amazing teacher !
A kiss from Brazil! 👏🏻
Thank you for making this beautiful video.This really help me with my 5th grade essays.
Sad I don't remember some of this from High School. I almost want to say we need updates depending on the type of job you have!
aaaawwwwwwww
3:08 is the most helpful tip
I really enjoyed this video it was both informative and entertaining. Thanks for taking the time for these instructions.
A nice refresher, thx!
Many of these can be summed up as: avoid redundancy.
I'm confused.. I can't shorten my sentences because there is a number of word to target. And some say to use complex sentences..
What she means is that some words or terms we commonly use at home or with friends, are used as colloquialism. And that makes your writing poor and non-professional.
Rick Santiago hi
When you use a good mix of short and long sentences, it makes your writing interesting
In my experience teachers are sadist f*cks that don't get along with students (even if you think you do, they experts in faking a smile).
None of them is consistent so you need to learn each one as like a new cat.
Always listen to others who had a previous teacher and their warnings. Teachers don't change, YOU change.
I want to say that word count is a very high/middle school thing. Professional writing and college writing concentrates more on length, like how many pages something needs to be, letter font and size. The only writing that might focus on word count is journalism.
7:04 Can you teach my how to draw a straight line like that?
it's straighter than me using a ruler 0_o
That straight line :O
