Learning how to write an academic essay is important for students who are planning to go to college. When I showed up at college, I thought I was the best writer ever. Then my first paper in my writing class got a B⁻ and I was appalled. So I completely understand that I need to improve my writing to fulfill the professors' requirements. Here are some tips. As soon as I started to write for college, I found that the content required for my college courses was different from that required in high school. When I was in high school, I wrote primarily about my personal experiences such as family, childhood and friends. However, college writing relates to a variety of unfamiliar topics, e.g., critiques of books and films, research papers, and formal reports on the content of the courses. Therefore, what is most essential for me was to understand the assignment and research the topic before attempting my first draft. I started by surfing the Internet to know more about the assigned topic to build a foundation. In this way, I could include examples, statistics, and direct quotations whenever possible to support my ideas. By giving specific examples, I made my arguments more solid and impressive to the professor. In addition, I realized that I had to improve my understanding of grammar and vocabulary to write for college. Before I came to college, grammar and vocabulary were not my strong points. I often created run-on sentences or sentence fragments, and I was quite used to slang and abbreviations, which were appropriate in social contexts but not acceptable in formal essays. Consequently, I made grammar and vocabulary my second priority. I reviewed the basic grammatical structures and I checked all my work for verb-tense consistency and correct punctuation. For vocabulary, I became more aware of how often I repeated the same words and phrases throughout my essay. Therefore, I used dictionaries and thesauruses more often to expand my word knowledge. Academic writing requires an understanding of the topic, high-level vocabulary and correct grammar. Having these skills is empowering since it has made me a better communicator and student. I have come a long way since I started college, and I am now proud of the writing that I produce.
