Ive been writing essays all summer, and going across them by my tutor.
You can already write on many topics if you havnt finished the course as yet....

Like, Globalisation, Language Change, Prestige etc. etc.

All you have to make sure is too find good essay Questions.
( I asked my tutor, and teacher for them at end of school last year.)



that's so good. i know nothing about englang as of now, but hopefully my tutor will guide me through it

(i'll have a pretty poor teacher this year so i got this good tutor :) )

go you naved!

Thanks man!

Look, I think we (those who study EL), should help eachother this year.
My teacher at school isn't that great either, and this is the reality that
a lot EL teachers, suck!

Albeit, if we all can combine through the forum, we'll get our desired
results!!

Im upbeating our group because, I remember that last year, for upto 3 - 4 weeks at a time,
there was no talk on the forum.

Its ridiculous.

If we talk, communicate and share eachothers thoughts and ideas, we can generate confidence
amongst ourselves, aswell as improve.

In terms of essay writing, I don't think you really need to churn through plenty of essays in the holidays. It's probably better to find some original examples and try and analyse things linguistically - that's what usually separates the good essays from the bad. If you don't feel like writing whole essays, try writing individual paragraphs or practise integrating a quote into a section.

Yea . The problem I had was to include a heap of info in a structured form. Through practise this can only be fixed, and soo I did.  However yes, I take your points on board
