HOW TO CORRECT MISTAKES IN YOUR ESSAY 
2

• It goes without saying that a winning essay must
  be error-free. However, many students tend to
  commit grammar, spelling and other types of
  mistakes that end up by getting a lower degree.
  Here you can find the most common essay errors
  and ways how to correct them.

3
Mistake 1 Too many topics

• If your essay has too many topics, it will
  destroy the main point of your paper and confuse
  the reader. Narrow it down and be concrete.

4

• Solution Ask yourself what is the main essay
  question, whether all sections support your idea
  and what your goal is to inform, persuade or
  argue the audience. Concentrate on these
  questions and be concise. Keep your essay to the
  point!

5
Mistake 2 Too many adjectives and adverbs

• Students tend to add as many adjectives and
  adverbs as possible but at the same time, the
  point is unclear Shes amazing. She speaks
  three languages perfectly. Your reader will
  probably ask Why is she amazing? What languages
  does she speak? How did she learn them?

6

• Solution Dont describe but explain. Give
  concrete examples evidence or any other
  information that support your statement.

Mistake 3 Overusing the passive voice

• The passive voice is indirect, weak, unclear and
  wordy. It can make your sentences really awkward,
  impersonal and harder to read. If its
  constructed appropriately and wont confuse the
  reader, using the passive voice is OK. However,
  the active voice is far more useful.

8

• Solution Use both voices. Passive is used when
  you want to concentrate on the receiver when the
  performer of an action is not important or
  unknown. In other cases, make your writing more
  dynamic and clear with active voice.

Mistake 4 Plagiarizing

• Taking someone elses ideas without giving a
  credit to its original author is a plagiarism.
  Its an academic dishonesty which leads to
  unpleasant consequences damaged academic and
  personal reputation, expelling from a course or
  school or even legal actions. Literally, copying
  information teaches a student to be a thief!

10

• Solution Cite your source properly according to
  academic standards. Look for such guides as APA,
  Chicago, MLA on the Internet. These will help you
  to stay professional and respectful to authors
  and their work. Another effective way -
  paraphrasing in essays.

11
Mistake 5 Word repetition

• Its so annoying when the author uses the same
  words. No diversity at all! It looks boring, a
  bit childish and shows the author has poor and
  way too limited vocabulary.

12

• Solution Avoid word repeating by using
  dictionaries, word synonyms, and substitutes.
  However, dont overuse thesaurus your sentences
  must be easy to understand and meaningful. Also,
  try online essay editing and make your life much
  easier.

Mistake 6 Overusing informal words and phrases

• Many students forget that an essay is a formal
  piece of writing which demands using high-level
  vocabulary. They can use slang, clichés, weird
  abbreviations which are absolutely inappropriate.

14

• Solution Make sure your essay doesnt have
  non-standard verb forms such as gonna, gotta,
  wanna, etc. Eliminates all slang expressions, add
  to your writing formal constructions and use a
  good dictionary to select an accurate word or
  phrase.

15
Mistake 7 Too long or too short sentences

• Short sentences lead to destroying the logic of
  your ideas and make the content seem choppy and
  like it is below academic level. On the other
  hand, too long sentences make your essay harder
  to understand and connect your essay will be way
  too wordy and complex.

16

• Solution Find a balance of both short and long
  statements. Connect the short ones with
  conjunctions and break the long ones into smaller
  pieces. As an alternative, try online essay
  revision.

17
Mistake 8 Starting a sentence with a
coordinating conjunction

• Sometimes students can begin sentences with
  coordinating conjunctions (and, but, yet, for,
  or) which are used to join words and clauses.
  Your essay will be tedious if you put it at the
  beginning of a sentence.

18

• Solution Start with conjunctive adverbs such as
  therefore, however, in addition, in fact,
  nonetheless, etc. which have the familiar
  meaning. In formal writing or when you need to
  build my bibliography, these words are much more
  appropriate.

19
Mistake 9 Run-On Sentences

• If you join two or more sentences together
  without proper punctuation, were talking about
  run-on sentences. They confuse the reader and are
  absolutely inappropriate.
• Solution Break up a run-on sentence into
  separate sections, or use a coordinating or a
  subordinating conjunction to join them together.
