Writing Feedback / Trying to get into my dream school - essay on importance of having clean water [3]
Hi iSasha,
It is a pleasure to be working with you today. I like the fact that your grandmother inspired you to continue advocating for the access of clean water as a human right. I wish you success in your future and in this specific scholarship.
Here are my suggestions for your essay, and I hope they are of help to the betterment of your essay.
I like how you begin the essay by picturing what it's like to not have access to clean water. You did a great job there. However, your first paragraph is too lengthy, and there is no thesis statement. I would like you to leave the picture of the dirty water there, and introduce a thesis statement where you write about life without water, the benefits of clean water, and a charity that your support - all in one simple sentence. Why a thesis statement? Because the thesis statement tells the reader what the following paragraphs will be about. Also, you spent a lot of time talking about how your grandmother was an advocate for clean water, and you spent less time talking about the benefits of having clean water. I would like you to revise your essay.
In the first paragraph, cut down some of the giveaways, and instead focus on writing a thesis statement that is clear and to the point. You can also mention your grandmother here if you want to.
In the second paragraph you can write about life without water.
In the third paragraph you can write about the benefits of accessing clean water.
In the fourth paragraph you can write about the charity, what work they are doing, and why you think it's important.
In your fifth paragraph you will write up a conclusion that sums up your ideas and leaves an impression on the reader. It is imperative that you write a conclusion, because it will close it up and not leave the reader with questions.
I hope this information helps.
My best regards,
Juan Sebastian Rubio Lopez
