CLARITY

What’s the point of your essay? Is it clear to the reader from the very beginning? This is key since this is one of the main ways to improve the quality of the essay.

CREATIVITY

How you tell your story is just as important as which story you decide to tell. A creative introduction is a great way to catch your reader’s attention.

COMPELLING

Write so that the reader wants to keep reading. Aim for telling a good story, as if you are introducing yourself to someone through your favorite story about yourself. Use specific, descriptive language. Use active words rather than passive ones. 

CONCISE

Use as few words as possible and make sure each word is the right one for the job. It should be concise in content but deep in meaning. Keeping meaningful and necessary sentences. Use conjunctions and compound sentences to make essay concise.

CANDOR

Make it your mission to be honest with your readers. Give readers something they can actually use in the real world: hard-won advice, useful facts that you’ve discovered, a careful description of problems, and actionable solutions to those problems. Level with your readers about important information that less courageous writers would rather not write about.

CONFIDENCE

Be both calm and firm about the rightness of your argument. Don’t demand that readers agree with you; ironically, such an approach shows lack of confidence. Invite readers to agree with you and congratulate them for choosing your firm side. Acknowledge opposing points of view, but refute them immediately and resolutely.

CONTROL

A strong argument has more impact when discussed matter-of-factly than when screamed or shouted. Don’t quote others excessively. Always retain the first word and last word of every paragraph for yourself. Balance the structure of your essay. Each section of the essay should have a specific role.

COMPREHENSION

Whatever your topic, proactively show readers that you understand it well. Be both a helpful guide through complex issues and an informed judge when choices must be made. Cover your territory fully and give readers information that they’re not likely to know. Generous sharing of useful, real-world knowledge is the fastest way to establish trust with your audience. Never forget the ultimate goal, which is to contribute your wisdom freely and help your readers sincerely.

CONSISTENT

Essay should be consistent with the norms and guidelines usually followed in academic writing. Don’t try to out of box and invent something new, this might not create impress rather it might lead to low score in essay writing answers.
