Taking College English Composition next Friday

[lina]

I took it last Saturday, and I'm STILL not over the hyperventilating! Writing is my bete noire. My suggestion is to do a quick outline when you see the topic, make simple points, and stick to the outline. (Folks in this forum talk about 5x5 essays. You might want to search the forum.) I was all over the place. My writing was the written equivalent of a two-year old's finger painting. Don't try to impress with really involved thinking. Keep it simple, organized, and coherent. Good luck. I'm not normally an empathic person, but, trust me, I FEEL your pain.

Thank you for your suggestions. That is very helpful.My essays will be graded by a computer, so I don't think the artificial intelligence can really understand the "involved thinking". hilarious But I maybe underestimate what a computer can actually do. Good luck for both of us. I hope that we both can pass!
