- Be Brief: You may know that the college has asked you to write your essay in minimum of 200 words with no maximum length. But it does not mean that you should express all your thoughts and end up writing a thousand words essay. You should be describe your points in brief. The admission officer who is going to check your essay will have too many applications so he do not want to spend his whole day reading your essay. Be specific. Write your essay in a reasonable length that you will be able to express yourself briefly and you will also have crossed minimum words threshold.
- Pick Up A Tone: Your writing should reflect your personality. So, pick up a tone and a steady flow of writing. You should write your points and your explanations in a regular flow. It should not be like, you write something in the starting of the passage and then write all other things and then at the end again related to the starting. Your essay should have a natural flow that your words and paragraphs will be interconnected with each other.
- Be Straight: When writing about some topic, you should write straight and make your point clear to the reader. Sometimes, universities and colleges gives you some controversial topics to write about. At such stages, you should first decide on which side you wanna be and why. Be on the one side of the controversy and then express your points or specific reasons for that. In such topics, it should be clear to the reader that on which part of the side you are. So, do not try to write about both sides that it is this and this is it. Just be straight.
- Use Simple or Complex Sentences Accordingly: Know your stand in the language. Get to know your writing skills. Take examples from your time of high school and think how good you were at writing. If you think that your English writing is so good then you should make use of complex sentences. The use of complex sentences will help you stand up from the crowd. But it should not taken in wrong way. That is you should only use complex sentences if you think that you can write good or you are good at complex sentences. Otherwise just stick to the simple sentences because in that case, you will end up doing more harm to you than help by using complex sentences incorrectly.
