My Feelings about Essays

Essays are one of the things that make me feel so nervous when I hear the word. I feel scared at first, but when I starting writing, it is just like you are writing normal paragraphs. I think that writing an essay is not that hard if you follow the structure carefully. I feel scared about writing it because I am afraid of losing my marks as I have in the past. Sometimes, I feel angry because if it is a hard topic then I have to work really hard to get it done and make it longer. Sometimes I also hate essays because they take a long time to write, and after doing that much hard work I don't get good marks on it.

There are some common problems in which I lose my marks. One of my biggest problems is writing grammatically incorrect sentences. I also feel confused on concluding paragraphs. After writing an introductory paragraph, it gives me a little bit of trouble to make a conclusion paragraph in different words. I also have trouble making complicated sentences. I write more simple sentences in my essay, so it doesn’t look as good. My transition sentences are also not that good. I would like to work on those mistakes.
