Descriptive writing is an essential skill for students, enabling them to express their thoughts, analyse ideas and present arguments effectively. In order to write essays that stand out, the perfect mix of accurate Vocabulary, Correct Grammar and effective writing is essential. However, many students often find themselves struggling with the process, facing difficulties in organizing their thoughts, structuring the essay and conveying the ideas coherently. Let us explore some of these challenges and their possible solutions.
- Lacking structure: In order to write a good piece, be it an essay or a report the foremost requirement is that of a structure. Without a structure you may get confused and your writing flows in all directions. A structure makes it easier for the reader to understand your ideas and get the gist even in a cursory reading. Disorganisation can ruin a write up easily.
- Weak vocabulary and language skills: Vocabulary skills are often confused by students as the ability to use “flowery” language which is not the case. Vocabulary skills simply mean using the most appropriate word in the context of a sentence. Students often struggle with having a brilliant idea but lacking the words to convey it accurately.
- Poor grammar and sentence structure: Grammar mistakes and improper sentence construction can undermine the clarity and readability of an essay. It also leaves a bad impression in the mind of the reader.
