Safir Semon crap
how in the world would you use that in an essay wtf :D:DD:D
definitely some people do, for example, English learners like me. These tips will be helpful for my writing proficiency test, which I am about to take.

It's ironic that in spoken English we use long sentences to sound smart, but in written English we achieve that result with short sentences.
CM Randall and.
Why is that ironic?
because people prefer listening more than reading
CM Randall My sentences are always too long whenever I'm writing
Cause a reader will be bored if the sentence is too long
Watching it in 2024
Real 😢
I’ll help you out if you’re taking notes.

Yeah how was it
What happened to your exam?

Howd it go
Writing is such a skill to have. It’s like forming a puzzle. I’ve always envied people that could tell stories n write.
Essays literally are my weakness. They also scare me a lot. 😭
I feel you bro...
Me too bro
I’m so good at math and science but I literally cannot write an essay for shit. I put so much hard work but I don’t get good grade
Same... 🙁🙁🙁🙁
Goddamn same
1.do not use contractions ex.don't can't shouldn't
2.avoid there is &there are
3.don't use really ,a lot ,so &very
4.use active voice
5.use strong verbs
This is useful because I was surprised why my teacher circled “so” and other words in a red pen in most of my essays

I need help but I have no one to help me.
Oh my god! I just realized that I might have been making these mistakes all my life.
And, all it took was a few minutes of conscious effort and practice.
Thanks, this is super useful.
wow i was never taught this kind of stuff at my highschool, surprised i got the grades i did in English
For the past year or two my teachers haven’t taught me anything new
Exotic Cats so did mine
Exotic Cats all they did was do the whole thing again. Notthing new
Dont tell me they never taught abt contractions
sorry,the passive voice

Emma, this is great! I am recommending it to my students and have sent the video to colleagues. I've even embedded it in a blog post I wrote on academic or formal writing. Really well done and very enjoyable. Brava!
I think you can learn from this free video than from the $91 book I had to buy for my English class.
Your sentence seems incomplete?
sebastian cuello I bet money you did not even read the 91$ book, yet you complain how useless the book is. Take the easy route and watch videos, that would help you more than reading a book, you mundane fool.
sebastian cuello o
Whether you prefer watching videos or reading books, continue to practice you writing skills. Finding books your are interested in reading will help your writing improve as well.
exactly
I always tought Passive voice was more formal than active voice. Thanks!!
my teacher gave me an extension to submit my assessment and im so happy cause she is so nice and i would be sad if i put no effort into something that she gave me extra time to do
aw that’s sweet
Great
Uhhh

I have been learning English for one year and I always love your videos on UA-cam. I’ve learned many things and today I learn to be a good writer. Thank you for always sharing.
Thank you for helping me because when I checked my grades today, I saw that I had an F in ELA and started crying so I decided to look for videos to help me and this helped me a lot

Wow. I couldnt agree more. Great tips! I am in school for engineering, however, I wanted to make sure that my communication skills were "clean" and powerful. This helped immensely, you are a fantastic teacher.
I got 86 (overall) and 22 on the speaking section and 21 in writing. Thanks for all your amazing videos. Without them, I could not make it.
Juliana Bassetti yes
Best teacher are not measured through knowledge, experienced and awards that you get or you may gain.
What make the teachers absolutely amazing are there dedication, patience and passion to share/teach things that make a person much better than yesterday.
Your one of the amazing teacher Ms. Emma. I can tell it when I often see you smile while discussing the lesson. The way you teach reach not just to me but I am sure to all your learner.
Thanks for the upload and to all the teachers out there thank you so much.💗
Thank you so much for sharing this! This lesson can't get at anywhere ! May your day bleesed and happy!

I thought it's more formal and smart to write something in longer sentences 😂
Me too😂😂
Me too lmao I swore "conducted an investigation" sounded formal and smart sajdasd
Thank you. It just made my day and how ever i was making exactly these 5 mistakes in my essays.
I just wanted to thank you for all that you’re doing. Your teachings helped me big time and I scored 7 bands in Writing. Keep up the good work and wish you all the very best!!
Thank you teacher Emma! i will follow your suggestions now i am going to write a different way to express my ideas
I wasn't taught like this ever in my whole life, I understood everything what you taught, thank you mam, this was very useful ❤
It all makes so much more sense now! Writing English has been difficult for me since I’m bilingual, I lost a lot of writing classes back in school because I didn’t speak the language😣 thank you! I will be using this for sure.
Ironic actually, short sentences are powerful, to the points, thanks Emma, you are something else.😊
Same here

Thank you so much for making video. I’m currently taking an English first year college reading and writing course I’m having a hard time constructing my sentence. English is not native language, I’m glad I can watch your videos and learn. Thank you.
- By the way I love your teaching styles, clear and easy to understand plus your voice is comforting.
I am very grateful for this type of support to those of us who need it. Much appreciated!

Short, simple, and educational. I was making at least three of the mistakes every single time that I wrote a formal letter. Thanks!
Thank you for your wonderful teaching. I have been learning English for more than an year. My speaking skills got improved. However, I have to improve my writing skills. When I started learning, I came across your videos. When I am looking into your videos, it's becoming more easy for me to correct the mistakes on writing part.
Thank you so much. I can use these tips for my students and my own essay. These tips apply to writing in other languages too.
Thanks I really like your videos, Everything is so helpful, I've been watched your video a few months ago and I think that my knowledge is getting better. Thanks again for everything you have done for all of us around the world.
I love this video. Explains concepts I never understood. Thanks a lot
I really enjoyed this video it was both informative and entertaining. Thanks for taking the time for these instructions.
Thank you for the academic writing lesson. Your video is very helpful.
Simple and straight to the point. Excellent teacher.
This was worth the full watch. Thank you.
This is one of the most useful videos on writings I found on UA-cam
This lesson is resourceful and helpful.

You helped a lot in improving my writing skills. Thank you Emma.
You have no clue how helpful your video is...Thank you!
There are a lot of tips in your video that really helps me :)
avoid using really:PP
Emine aygün (There are) & (a lot of) too :P
And just "help" no s
Hahaha
apparently you DID NOT pay attention that much. She CLEARLY said do not use "THERE ARE". But then again i do not agree with the instructor in alot of things like at 2:11 she should have wrote, Students face many issues at the University or Universities if She didnt want to use "THE" in the sentence. Unless the University is the name of the university but i doubt that, hopefully.
Awesome tips, very useful for GCSE English.
You have this ability to make me focus on what you're saying. I usually skip 10+seconds forward and I'm suprised I didn't in this video.
Anyways, thank you! I learned a lot.
Thank YOU , I love how you explain it.
AMAZING!! :) i speak spanish but i KNOW that i can use this tips for essays as well.. thx.
I want to friendship with you.
This lesson was "really" "very" useful, "so" thank you!
