The English language is a large intricate maze of lanes and by-lanes. Follow the rules correctly and you will find your way through easily.
THE OPENING
Your opening should be like a towering six off the first ball. You should open with a bang , intriguing the reader to continue.
STICK TO THE TOPIC
If you are talking about cricket,stick to cricket and don't deviate to football, unless you need to clarify something.
DO NOT USE BOMBASTIC WORDS
There are some of us who think that the bigger or more "bombastic" the words the better the sentence. Remember , no one wants to sit down to read your essay with a dictionary besides them.The use of new, different words to add color to your piece, only if used effectively and where necessary.
KEEP THE SENTENCES SHORT
To keep your sentences "error ridden" free , the ideal solution is to keep your sentences short and simple.Stay away from long winded sentences. They will confuse the reader and will invariably be grammatically incorrect.
MIND YOUR GRAMMAR
Bad grammar is like ugly footwork. You might get a sneaky four here and there but you will never win the reader's heart.
USE CORRECT PUNCTUATION
Many of us nowadays have no clue as to when to use the comma and when to use the semi-colan. The dash has replaced the colon and a 'double exclamation mark adorns the end of most sentences. If you are not 'punctuation -strong' , remember by keeping your sentences short, you can bypass this problem.
USE OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE
Through the active voice is preferred , most grammarians agree that the passive voice should be used when the receiver of the action is more important that the doer. e.g. " The city was devastated by a tsunami" rather than "A tsunami devastated the city".
USAGE OF ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS
Adjectives and adverbs are the sixes and fours in your essay. They are what make what you write look all the more exciting and interesting. Use different adjectives to describe the same noun and different adverbs to express the verb. Try it out as a daily exercise-it also makes an interesting game.
MEMORABLE ENDING
Like the opening , the ending too must be special and exciting. Like your favorite ice-cream , your essay too should leave lingering taste with the reader.
