Moe67401 - / 1 Feb 21, 2011 #2Jasmine, I usually free writting initially to get an essay of that sort started, by this I mean that I write off the top of my head. After my initial draft, I find the strongest ideas of that draft and expand on them. Another method is to just write a quick outline of what I want to write and then expound on that outline, this will give you a focus for your essay. here is an example:Someday I want to be known for being a talented musician1. I am a talented musiciana. I play multiple instrumentsb. I write songsc. I compose musicd. I move people with my musice. I use my talent to inspire othersand so on, just tell your story, 1000 words is a short space to get your point across so maybe find 3 points to emphasize.Moe
EF_Susan - / 2,364 12 Mar 1, 2011 #3Yes, in the beginning there are 2 sentences put together as one compound sentence, so you should have a comma before "so"... and more, so I decided to enter a contest i I had seen advertised in a magazine.Oh, ha ha, sorryJasmine, I was correcting the grammar.Well, what makes you amazing?! The best way to write about this is to write about what you know best. What I know best is the psychology of language. What do you know best?I think you should just start by writing a paragraph to explain what you know best. Pretend you are explaining this subject to your little sister so she can understand it, too. Then, after you write a paragraph, go back to the beginning and write a little introduction paragraph. Catch the reader's attention with a clever sentence! :-)
