In 8, I had a conversation with various mentors and realized that I should find a style that allows me to write fluently.
-
Goal: To write an essay in a way that meets the essential requirements while being comfortable for myself.
- What are the essential requirements for an essay?
- It should provide information about the person’s personality and other related factors.
- It should demonstrate what the student will bring to the university and what they will take from it.
- It should be interesting to read.
- It should have a sense of reality.
- It should make a connection between the writer and the reader.
- One concrete example that meets these abstract criteria is what is commonly known as a typical essay, like the ones in JHU Essays that worked 2024.
- How is this achieved?
-
It provides information about the person’s personality and what they will bring to the university and take from it.
- This is shown through specific examples (Show, Not Tell).
-
It is interesting to read.
- It includes literary expressions and engaging anecdotes.
-
It makes a connection between the writer and the reader.
- It appeals to the reader’s emotions through anecdotes.
-
- How is this achieved?
- However, I personally find it difficult to write in this style, especially as a non-native English speaker. So, I want to explore other ways that are easier for me.
- As long as I don’t misunderstand the essential requirements (6198e4cf79e11300000ce6ab), I don’t think there is a problem.
- In fact, it could be more authentic to write in a way that suits my own style.
- What do I struggle with?
- I become too focused on writing in an essay-like manner, and as a result, I struggle to express my ideas clearly in terms of logic and structure.
- What are the essential requirements for an essay?
-
What writing style is comfortable for me?
- Writing that clearly expresses logic and structure?
- For example, if it’s A -> B -> C, then it should be written as A, so B, so C.
- If it’s A, B, C in D, then it should be presented in a clear and understandable way.
-
How does the above writing style meet the requirements?
- The first point can be met by providing specific examples.
- The challenge lies in how to create a connection between the writer and the reader and ensure the writing is interesting.
-
I think if I deviate too much from the conventional style, it may not be interesting.
- I hope that by taking a bold approach, it will become more engaging.
