How to write a good essay???

yes , he is correct . Reading English periodicals , news bulletins released everday , books or novels will help you gradually master basic and advanced skills of writing an esay in the highly-standardised and formal language .A good essay also requires a certain variety of vocabulary so if you take pains to expand your voc , and try your best to transform "passive words" into "active words" to be easily mobilised , you're the winner !

Nay, spareth me the doubts! One shall remain apathetic toward the dictionary, cast vicious glances upon modern best-sellers, and, on whole, dispose of blogging!

Lol, just kidding, but I'd recommend Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen for those who are interested in writing formal English. Modern best-sellers offer but the most basic sentence structures.
 
i recommend you to read something everyday. While you read, dont just care about the story line but also the sentence structures, the ways writers used to present an idea, to describe, or to prove something.
You are good at grammar, that is great because it saves you some time. If you havent write that much yet, start with the five-paragraph essay, start with an interesting introduction and then present your idea in the next 3 paragraph and then conclude. That is how it works. Once you get to the more advanced level, you will ignore that structure and move on to the next where you are free to express your ideas, and then end the essay where it í supposed to. There isnt any specific way to write a good essay, everything needs practice.
Later on, I can help you with some tips, some useful tricks to write a good essay.
I hope that it helps. Good luck.
 
It's strange that such a good topic as this is ignored for a long time......
Of course you have to gain certain knowledge in different fields in order to be well-prepared for every question. The only way to improve this is to read as many books, watch as many English channels as well as listen to English tapes as you can. READ BOOKS THAT YOU LIKE, WATCH CHANNELS THAT YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN or you won't get any benefits...... Anyway, You should try to create an interest in things that maybe you are normally not ( it's a good way to learn different subjects well, too, but this doesn't work with me, lolz ).....
The keys to your essay are organization and creativity ( in my opinion). Organization is MUST-HAVE. You should make an outline carefully, identify what're main ideas, what're their supports and use each main idea with the right supports in one paragraph. That is to make your essay clear, easy-understood. The teacher will definitely give high marks for your organizing skills. The other is creativity. Well, why be creative??? Imagine a teacher has to mark hundreds of essays a day ( kind of boring, isn't it?), What kind of essay do you think he/she is looking for? You've got the answer. They will take extra interest in essays that are really different, really "personal". Yeah, he/she can hear the true voice of the writer. So when writing your essays, try to USE YOUR OWN WORDS, EXPRESS IN YOUR OWN WAYS, AVOID USING TOO COMMON IDEAS AND SUPPORTS....
Anyway, i'm still trying to write good essays ( I'm really bad at this >__< )...... Hope this topic will be continued so that we can truly discuss.
