- In this lesson, I give you a simple method for writing a good, effective essay in English. If you don't know where to start when you are given a writing assignment, start here and learn how to do it right!
Time changes rapidly. Two years ago I watched this video just making a simple essay 200word. Now I am making the research paper 12 pages. Thanks for everything
I would say that at the end of the day, the thesis is the most important part of your essay. However, you can't just state your thesis statement and walk away. You must back it up with research and evidence. Make sure to have at least three pieces of evidence that you can use to back up your thesis statement. Well, If you are tired of essays, term papers, quizzes, research projects, and more, I am here for you. Email me. My work is always top-notch and I take confidentiality very seriously. If you're ready for a great homework helper, email me. I can also do entire online classes.
I wonder why all the good teachers exists in UA-cam, from which planet are they from? And from which planet are my teachers from????? geezez.
You summed up everything in 10min AND I understood it, and you made it seem easier, or well effectivier, which feels so motivating o__o thank you
OutsideTheCage . yes that true lol
My teacher took 3 weeks to explain this, but I am still cunfused. wtf
*You're Welcome :)*
I hate that I relate to this lol
*aya aleam12* Be PROUD!!!
God bless you my brother. I remember watching this before when I was doing my GED essay. Now I'm in college God bless you again.
Lmao I'm watching this for my GED essay too
Me too for my Bachelors Degree in the Business Management field of study at Open University at my beloved country.

You can go and get a good drill of your essays...ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Evelina, hi!
How long have you been learning English?
Well in my opinions, I think he meant by that asking questions will helps you understand what you are going to write before you start writing and it will make it more easier for you to write instead of writing everything then get misplaced by paragraphs to paragraphs.

Can relate, every time I hear a teacher say the word essay all I think about is "oooooh I just failed this God damn class" 😂
Dont take this the wrong way, you´re a great teacher man. Looks like youre teaching not just English but, deduction, induction, logic all at the same time. Cheers
BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THINGS WISH MY ENGLISH TEACHER WAS THIS MOTIVATING AND ENERGETIC
im watching this because i have an 11 page MLA format essay due this morning, and it's 12:35 AM right now
LOL story of my life
what mark did you get?!?!?!?
i didnt get graded
i got a 90
but for the record, i didnt follow this video. i was just watching this video to procrastinate. i'm actually a generally good writer.
The world needs more teachers like you!
turtle neck game on point

Hi James, 53 and in my first semester in College and writing my 1st essay writing assignment. So glad I found you. Thank you Honey for all your help.
Up until high school I never realized just how important it was that the teacher was enjoying what he was teaching, I migrated to another country at 15 and up until then I didn’t enjoy studying at all. Meeting friends was the only thing fun about school, but in this new country not only is the educational system different most teachers genuinely love what they are teaching and you could actually see it in their actions, their eyes and their eagerness to help the students understand. It completely changed the negative perception I have of teachers. I started enjoying studying and my grades increased meaningfully, it had little to do with me, I only have my teachers to praise for giving me the motivation I needed through their teaching. They truly don’t get enough praise and recognition they deserve.
Im proud to know
This guy is really changing the world for all those videos he made for free!!!
This man is the main reason my english is better today. I could barely write a congruent sentence just 3 three months ago. Now I'm writing 24 page proposals and interesting stories like it's nothing. Thank you James Sir. 🙏
You are the English teacher that I wish I had. Everything is straight to the point and uncomplicated. My current English teacher is rather lackadaisical in teaching. He preaches the class after every essay but does not present to us how we can fix our issues. You on the other hand do not even know the issues I have with writing yet your teachings still help tremendously! Thank you
This guy's jacked... with knowledge

HE MAKES LEARNING SOUND FUN! FINISHED MY ESSAY FOLLOWING ALL THESE STEPS!! THANK U
Wow.. I have struggled with essay writing my whole life but this one video has taught me more about essay writing then I got out of 13 years of school. Thanks!
Thank you James! I'm watching your video to learn how to write essays for my language degree (inc. English), because if I ever learnt it at school I had since forgotten and was struggling to get through my course! I wish I'd watched these earlier in my degree, I could have gotten so much higher marks. So clear and helpful, I cannot thank you enough!
James was not only funny but also very helpful. He breaks everything down to where anyone can understand it. I'm currently taking English Comp II.
I really don't have time to be typing this but Ihave to give you credit for teaching so well. Most tutorials have people droning or rambling about the topic trying to make it seem huge or themselves knowledgeable. You dove straight into the subject and kept your pace constant so nobody loses their interest. Great video! Ty.
just thinking about college hurts my head.
+SONIE You'll be just fine
But it will get you into a door of a good career field making some good money I will say that
***** I can read and write really good my major is Psychology with a concentration in Forensics. Why you asked?
Bruh I'm in college and it's just pure essays...
What is your major?
To all in here thinking that college is hard I'm 43 and in college and have to manage working full time,bills,car payment,rent phones,kids etc.You young guys and girls that still live with your parents take advantage of no bills just school and hanging out go for it.Its hard for all even me so join the club.
Old man yells at cloud
+Sandor Clegane lol
Nasty FingurZ depends on your major. Try this while trying to become an engineer. Hahah thought so.
college is hard
Ok boomer

I feel a lot more comfortable when I have a teacher that is fun and explains things well instead of these teachers that sit around teach lazily and judge. Your style of teaching is so refreshing,
Learned more in this ten minute video than I have in three years of secondary schooling. Thank you. It seems much easier now.
This guy is GREAT!!! Wish we had more teachers like him in our schools.
UR SOO MUCH FUN.... I wish u were my ENG PROF!
me tooooooo!
Thank you James! I passed my exams with the SECOND highest score because of you!
He makes the process of writing so easy to understand. Please put more videos up. Thank you my friend!
I wish I had a English teacher like you!
you're incredibly good teacher .. especially the jokes you make , hope you have a successful career
Excellent video sir. Your explanations are clear and concise, but what really sells the whole process is how you describe and emphasize each section of a good essay throughout the video. The references to everyday life draw in and engage the viewer and make educational, entertaining as well. This video has been the first time in a long time where I have enjoyed an English lesson, so thank you.
Great to find this video from +10 years I enjoy a lot your teaching James
I'm watching videos last minute cause I have my English written diploma tomorrow and i have no idea how to write an essay lmao. High school why haven't you thought me anything lol
Same. Crying.
Did you try in high school?
JJ Keller lmao YEP. I try sO hard in school
"thought" did you go to high school?
TheGrizzleHouse guess I didn't read it over ヽ( ´¬`)ノ
I'm taking a college comp midterm in 45 mins. I haven't written a paper in 5 years lol
same feels, in a way in which I haven't written for almost a year (and we are told earlier to write an essay and pass it tomorrow) sigh
Jason Michael Damn how'd it go
If every teacher was like you this world would be a much better place
I would say that at the end of the day, the thesis is the most important part of your essay. However, you can't just state your thesis statement and walk away.

This vid has to be approaching a decade old by now, and it is THE best EVER!!! I have taught this to every student I have ever had! Thanks, James!
I just want to be successful
Ah, fuckin, men
+Blballerboy shoutyour mouth
yeah fool
Are you successful yet?
me too
You're the best teacher that I never had. ;-;
I find your classes way way really more interesting than most of the teachers i've had.
I'm gonna subscribe to your page. Good job man! We really appreciate it.
You have been a huge help with your videos. Going back to school after 20+ years. I needed this refresher.
This video shows the right way that all channel makers on UA-cam should pursue! Amazingly clear, interesting and helpful!
In high school, I was told by one or two teachers to NOT ask a question. However, I think in college things like that are a little less strict...
I think you're a bit confused about the question thing. What teachers mean when they say that is that your thesis should not BE a question. Your thesis should be the answer to the question and your essay will be about exploring and proving that answer. For instance, if you're asked to write a character analysis from the Harry Potter series, you start by asking questions: "Why did J. K. Rowling make up a character like...Nevel or Dobie or Snape?" "What role does that character play--physically, emotionally, philosophically?" For instance, if I picked Snape I could ask questions about who he really is (as opposed to how he showed himself throughout the books) and what lessons Rowling was maybe trying to teach us through this character. I might even be able to draw from real live people who chose to hide their true selves for the greater good (watch Valkyrie w/ Tom Cruise). My thesis would grow out from my answers to these questions. The real first step of an essay is to ask questions then RESEARCH for the answer. It's not to come up with your thesis and then "prove" it. This leads to looking for information that supports your thesis rather than allowing your thesis to develop from your understanding of a topic. Hope that clears things up for you.
Aaah, that makes sense! Thank you. I see the difference.
It's ironic you said in high school, however, you don't truly learn much in high school, but in college where it's very hard. You must be someone willing to past his or her tests.Who am I? I'm just a guy who is in college who knew something was wrong last year when I failed my mid term, so since that time I have been on a journey of learning effective ways to study.
This is incredibly helpful and simple. Also, straight to the point with effective examples. Thank you so much!
As interactive, fun, and educational teacher this guy is, i highly doubt that a girl at a bar will want to learn about english. Great video. Helped me a lot. I wish i was taught this earlier at my age.
James I really liked this video do you have videos or can you produce a video about "comma rules" in essays ?
"Hi, my name is James, can I kiss you? Ow!"
This is why James is the best, he makes learning English fun, unlike my dull teacher.
He gave us the master key for effective essays. .. ...and that too is so simple to use.
This video is 12 years ago, that time I was 10 years old. I'm 22 years old today but as I have watched your latest video I think you're not getting older Mr. James. Same appearance 'til now. By the way, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I can't stop watching you❤
damn that intro tho😂
I know right I was laughing so hard
I really love your hand-writing!
This method is the exact way I was taught how to do legal research when I was in paralegal school. We called it IRAC (Intro, Research, Analysis, and Conclusion). Same thing just about. Great lesson James!!!
Anyone who takes the time to "TEACH" another is someone who cares and wants to see others do well. Can it be any more obvious? This man is amazing and has helped plenty of people based on the comments written by people who appreciate him and learning in general. Pay no mind to those that comment in a negative manner because they are a bit upset because they are unable to grasp the concepts of learning anything in their own lives. I think you are fantastic and you should continue doing videos. :)
Greetings from San Diego California. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS JAMES! IT HELPED SO MUCH!

I've had a battle with english this year and you have taught me more in 10 mins than my useless teacher has in a year.
English is my only language, but you seem to be able to drill ideas into my head better than most other instructors.
Thank god for teachers like you. I like your teaching style.
