Your college application requires at least one, and the SAT requires another.  \nDepending upon the high school you attend, or the state you reside in, you may need to write an exit essay, or take the Regents Exam. This book includes specific strategies to help you write great essays, no matter which type you write.  \nIn contrast to basic writing guides that contain plenty of information you don’t need, How to Write Great Essays focuses on the topics most important to you now. You won’t find a comprehensive guide to mechanics, but instead you will get short but thorough lessons on the most common errors made in grammar, spelling, usage, and how to prevent and correct these errors. Every chapter is designed to relate directly to your essay, giving you the knowledge and the know-how you need to succeed.  \nThe book is divided into seven chapters, with the first five covering different aspects of the writing process:  \nIntroduction 􀀂 HOW TO WRITE GREAT ESSAYS  vii   \nChapter 1 shows you how to organize your thoughts and ideas before you begin writing, with techniques such as freewriting, brainstorming, and outlining. You will even learn why it’s important to read good writing while preparing your essay.  \nChapter 2 is about saying exactly what you mean by avoiding ambiguous language, using modifiers, eliminating unnecessary words and phrases, and using the active voice whenever possible.  \nChapter 3 examinesword choice and how it can accurately convey your ideas. It explains the most common misused and confused words, denotation versus connotation, and inclusive language. Important advice about the use of spell checking software is also included.  \nChapter 4 teaches the most common mechanical errors so you can eliminate them from your writing. Troublesome parts of speech, issues such as noun-verb agreement, and punctuation problems are explained.  \nChapter 5 shows you how to revise, edit, and proofread your essay. You will find checklists to use during these processes, as well as tips from professional editors. The use of word-processing programs to help with editing is also covered.  \nThe last three chapters of How to Write Great Essays will arm you with specific strategies for writing both timed (SAT, GED) and untimed (college application, exit) essays.  \nChapter 6 covers issues such as long-range planning, prewriting, and understanding  \nthe topics. Tips on writing to your audience and striking a balance between formality and informality are also explained.  \nChapter 7 shows you how to prepare for timed essays. Learn how to research your exam, how to familiarize yourself with possible topic","cbCainyKwbgLtacc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainyKwbgLtacc","pdf",487200,127,"English","# Introduction\n# 1 Organization\n# 2 Clarity\n# 3 Word Choice\n# 4 Mechanics\n# 5 Revising, Editing, and Proofreading\n# 6 Untimed Essay Writing Strategies\n# 7 Timed Essay Writing Strategies\n# 8 Sample Essay Prompts and Essays\n# Resources","[{\"question\":\"What kinds of essays does the book help you write?\",\"answer\":\"It supports high-stakes essays required for college applications, the SAT, exit essays, and the Regents Exam, plus both timed and untimed essay formats.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book approach organizing ideas?\",\"answer\":\"It explains techniques to organize thoughts and ideas before writing, including freewriting, brainstorming, and outlining.\"},{\"question\":\"What guidance does the book give for timed essays?\",\"answer\":\"It provides strategies for long-range planning, prewriting, researching possible topics, and budgeting time during the writing process to reduce stress and improve results.\"}]","How to Write Great Essays - Learn to write better essays | PDF",1789941037,320]
