Writing Sample Essays: Your First Draft

Writing Sample Essays: Your First DraftWhile many of the writing sample essays that you have encountered are from college students, the problem with these, as with most samples is that they lack structure. There is no editor guiding your prose and there is no attempt to make the sentences flow in a straight line. To take the approach to writing a sample essay that we will look at in the next few paragraphs, you need to start off by structuring the content, not to add more content to an already crowded page, but to create a structure that will guide the reader through the essay without them being distracted.You do not need to spend a lot of time on the sample essay to get your writing style right. Most college students will spend at least three or four hours writing the first draft of their essay, not counting the revision time that is necessary once it has been accepted for publication. So the time that you spend reading your sample essays is not wasted. You are less likely to turn u p with an essay that is completely unfocused and open ended.First of all, make sure that you format your sample cover sheet correctly. This means that you do not use the word 'cause' where there is a complete sentence. Make sure that the sample document uses proper grammar and spelling. If you find that your essay is in any way difficult to read, make sure that you proofread it again, to check that the spelling and grammar are correct.The first thing that you should do, when you are doing a look at your sample essay, is to make sure that you have an editor who is giving you input on the content of the document. If your editor does not give you any input on the content, this could be a red flag that you have a complex idea about the way to format the cover sheet. Also make sure that your editor has not yet delivered his/her own note to you on what should be included.The next step is to learn the structure of the sample and how you can add structure to it. We know that it is better to have a structure in your essay, than to have nothing at all. The process of building structure into your sample essay, could not only make the sample more enjoyable to read, but it will also help in writing a more coherent essay. You should also consider making changes to the structure of the sample document.We are confident that you will get some satisfaction when you compare your sample to the final version of the document. You will then understand why you did not receive a higher grade when your sample was compared to the final version. The structure will help you to make the proper corrections that you need to make to the document to make it as effective as possible. When you come to edit your work, your editing partner will also be able to spot some of the mistakes you made.After you have completed your essay, the best thing to do is to send it to as many different editors as you can find. This will make you feel much more comfortable that your essay will be judged on its meri ts. You can send your cover sheet to a large number of editors, and you will be well on your way to finishing your paper.
