being clear?

Hey guys

I have a problem of not being clear when I write (mainly context). I've tried to rectify this, but I don't think I'm improving. Any tips?

I might not be of big help...Try reading over your paragraph after you write one each time as if you don't know about the text/whatever you're talking about and see if it's clear and then think about what made it unclear and rectify that? :P

Try reading your paragraphs out loud (this will help clarity). Evaluate each individual clause in your sentences (this will help with meaning).

What do you mean by clear?

If you mean it is hard to understand the point you are trying to get at. Just try and keep the prompt firmly in your mind when writing and make note to yourself to try and refer back to it. So for example, after writing a chunk on something you think relates to the prompt, just try to state how and why it is relevant. Just being roughly in the region of the context of borrowing from the prompt isn't enough. You have to own the prompt and make what you think about it very obvious.

I don't see how this is helpful seeing as though exams are in 2 days...

Nothing wrong with last second adjustments.
