O kids school will show you which elements cannot be missing in a good essay. These are tips that serve to guide your studies, and this means that you should also study a lot to take advantage of our step-by-step instructions. Are we going to them?
Tip #1 → Those who read more, write better: It's no use wanting to write well if you run away from books! When we read, we have the opportunity to observe the Portuguese language at work, as words only come to life when they are inserted in a certain context. When we read, we also have the opportunity to observe the grammatical rules in action. So don't be lazy, choose your next reading now!
Tip #2 → Practice writing: If you don't practice, how are you going to put into action everything you've learned in school and in books? Train, sketch and ask someone to correct and point out what should be improved. How about asking the Portuguese language teacher?
Tip #3 → Respect the required number of lines: Don't make a tiny text and don't make a huge text, because it will certainly leave your reader discouraged. If the teacher or teacher imposes a line limit, respect it, right?
Tip #4 → reread your text: Don't be in a hurry, because as the saying goes, “hurry is the enemy of perfection”. Finished writing your text? Reread it, don't hand it over without first reviewing every word.
Tip #5 → Pay attention to the structure of the text: A good text must contain all its parts (introduction, development and conclusion) well developed and articulated. The ideal text should be around four to five paragraphs, a reasonable size to explore your ideas, don't you think?
Ten simple and effective tips that will help you write more and better!
Tip #6 → Be objective: which means not adding in your text anything that will not contribute to the presentation of ideas. You know those buzzwords and clichés? Well, forget about them, as they are usually just a representation of the lack of content in ideas.
Tip #7 → Pay attention to the margins and indentation of paragraphs: Organize your text! Writing that does not respect the margins and indents of paragraphs is practically unintelligible! Also, don't forget to be careful with the lyrics, remember that an essay must be read by someone, and that someone needs to understand everything you've written.
Tip #8 → Attention to the title: When giving a title to your text, prefer short sentences and, if possible, nominal, that is, without verbs. No need to score at the end.
Tip #9 → Avoid long periods: Do you know when you get excited and start writing non-stop? Well, even at this time, you need to be careful, because if you are not careful, your periods will be long and this will certainly affect the development of ideas. Punctuate your text more often, let your reader enjoy reading!
Tip #10 → If there is writing on your test, start with it: Generally, the essays are responsible for a good part of the grade in a Portuguese language assessment and even in the entrance exams. In order not to run the risk of having to write in a hurry, start with the text!
