>> Looking at your style
If you’re anything like most students, you’ll be saying ‘style? what style?’
Perhaps the first thing you need to know is that you do have a style; all writing does: good style is what allows you to convey your ideas as precisely and persuasively as possible. Everything else leads to varying degrees of confusion and frustration for your reader – and that means lower marks for you.
So one of the best ways to improve your essays is to think about the features of your own writing style, and how they help or hinder you in getting across your argument.
Of course, this article can’t tell you what you’re doing
right and what you could improve, so you’ll have to think about
it for yourself, and ask your teachers for their advice. However, we can
give you some pointers to get you started.
