Nobody is born knowing how to write, little by little, with enough training and dedication, we are learning the necessary elements to structure an essay, among them cohesion and coherence.

So let's go to the five precious tips that from now on you should consult whenever necessary, thus walking the path to becoming a smart and skilled writer:
To write well, it is necessary to pay attention to vocabulary, punctuation and the progression of ideas in the text, elements that ensure textual clarity
☺Know what you are talking about: The teacher or teacher gave you an essay topic that you don't know very much about. What do you do? Do you risk hunches on the subject or go after information to support your text? You can opt for the first suggestion, but believe me, your text will not look good. Nobody was born knowing, so don't be ashamed to ask, question and research. Read, because anyone who wants to write well needs to understand that reading is a key factor: in addition to you keep you well informed, it will show you a variety of words that will enhance your vocabulary.
☺ Watch the punctuation: Knowing when and where to score is essential for textual clarity, as an adequate score helps to read and understand your ideas and arguments.

☺ Avoid abbreviations and acronyms: Avoiding these two elements doesn't mean you should never employ them, right? Just avoid them, betting on replacements or writing them out whenever possible. Some people are so used to writing fast on the computer, thus streamlining the conversations held with friends on the internet, which end up forgetting that this behavior should not affect texts produced for the school, competitions and college entrance exams.
☺ Do not repeat ideas: Stop and reread your text as many times as necessary, as some imperfections will only be noticed when we go back to what we wrote earlier. Among these imperfections is the repetition of ideas, something common in the writings of most students. Avoid going around in circles, this will only indicate that you don't have control over the subject. As with speaking, allow ideas to progress in your writing and thus convey what you really have to say.
☺ Choose the right words: To write well it is not necessary to use difficult words, but the right words, the ones that express exactly what you intend to say. Imagine a reader who finds in a text a bunch of words that seem to have been taken from a centuries-old dictionary? Reading will be stuck and comprehension too! You must expand your vocabulary, but remember that textual clarity depends heavily on the words you choose to illustrate your ideas.
Good studies!
