Hey, currently doing year 11 Chinese SL, I want to improve on my essay writing but I don't know how. I'm aware that a lot of people say that you need to know a range of vocabulary and practice writing. I've been doing that but it seems like I'm not improving. I especially want to do well in my SACs but I don't what to do/how to prepare for it as I won't know the topic until the day of the SAC. Any tips/helpful resources to improve my essay writing skills?
Firstly, you need to be familiar with writing creteria, it's not only about vocab.
You must be careful about content and structure, grammar etc.
Regarding your situation, I recommend you memorise some collocations instead of signle words and make sure the words are use in an apppropriate way instead of inserting into your essay anywhere.
You also need teachers to look at your essays as they can provide some specific suggestions on them.
It's always great to look at some good samples as well.
Let me know if you need further help.
