how to overcome this ? Well, I don't really know how to start this. Im a fresh graduate with a Degree in Computer Science. I feel like writing an essay in English is the most difficult thing I have been facing since the past 5 years. Whenever I hold up the pen and start writing, I feel frustrated, disappointed and upset because I simply can't start writing or at least know how to gather the ideas and do some brainstorming. I really need someone to give me a hand in this. your assistance is much appreciated :) Thanks

Hi Omario,

 

Writing essays can be difficult, even for English speakers. I have a method which I tell my students to try when they are having a difficult time.

 

On a piece of paper, write your topic. Around the topic, brainstorm: write down anything that comes to your mind about this topic. Anything. Next, cross out the unimportant ideas. You won't need them all. Select some stronger, related ideas. You can do the same thing for those ideas.

 

Before you start your essay, create an essay outline. For each paragraph, write the topic of the paragraph and at least 3 ideas to support that topic. This will help you to structure your essay, and it should feel a little less frustrating.

 

Good luck!
