Proofreading, editing, and other tricks to use to improve the quality of your essay.So they should try to leave enough spacing between the words, and should also underline or highlight the important words. Essay writing is one of the components of English grammar. Essay writing is kind of similar to article writing, with some minor changes.

Essay writing services are solutions that can really help students who are struggling to write their academic essays.

Essay writing is often taught to students of junior to high school and at times even to college graduates. It is one of the easiest components of the grammar language. 

Following some simple steps and tricks, students can easily learn to improve the quality of their essay writing. 

In this article, we will explore techniques of proofreading, editing, researching, etc.

  1. Researching


The very first step, involved in essay writing is researching. Researching involves finding the appropriate content related to the topic or the subject of the essay. 

Students don’t always need to research their topics. Sometimes students can simply, write the essay from their own personal experiences and knowledge, 

Usually when students are given a topic to write an essay about their first reaction or instinct is to go online and look for some content on the internet. 

What most students fail to remember is, they have their own personal knowledge of things. Students can write an essay with their own knowledge and can add up real-life examples to increase the authenticity and quality of the essay. 

Next, the thing students can do apart from online research is, talk to people. 

There are some essay topics, that students can write by conducting unorganized interviews with their friends or family members even their own teachers. 

By unorganized interview what is meant is, in case the topic of the essay is personal, then in such case students can ask some open-ended questions to their family or friends, and collect all the information that is provided by them.

Students can write all the answers to the questions that they asked and later on can add them in the essay in the form of examples of real-life experiences. 

The third way of researching material for essay writing content is to read books. 

At the junior school level, students are likely to find most of their content in their textbook only, or students can refer to the books of their seniors or even juniors.

There are lots of resources that exist that can seriously help with homework.

Essay based on the topic of the syllabus, it is recommended that students should refer to textbook content only, so that the teacher may realize that the student has worked hard for their essay and read from the textbook. 

Another way to research content for an essay, is from books available in the library, let’s say a student is supposed to write a scientific essay, 

and the content is not available, in their textbook, in this case, students can consult the books from the library, and add or delete the content accordingly. 

Students can also read articles and magazines that are available in the libraries. Students if are unable to find the content material in their academic library then the students can visit any public library or local library available to them. Students can also visit open libraries of certain colleges. 

The next way to collect is the most popular way, that is, using the internet, although this is the most common way to collect content from if used smartly students can make essays stand out. 

Students, instead of simply googling or searching for their topic on the common web browser, can actually look for content using different keywords. 

Students can look for content using an online library, there are many open online libraries available on the internet that students can use to find their content. 

Students can also use sites like google scholar or research gate where they can find research papers on any topic that they need to do. 

If the student is from junior school simply searching on the internet would work fine, but if the student is a college graduate or from high school then the student can read research papers in order to get reliable and valid content for their essay. 

Research papers are usually used by students when they are writing for technical content only. For personal essays, students should avoid reading research papers. 

  1. Proofreading


The most important and the most forgetful component of essay writing is proofreading. 

While writing any kind of content whether it is essay writing or article writing, students should proofread their content before sending it or submitting the content. 

Proofreading is exactly what the word means, it is a technique whereby students read the written content in order to find any grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, wrong sentence formation, etc. 

Proofreading in short is done to eliminate any human errors done in the content writing. 

Nowadays there are many software and websites available to students using which students can easily proofread their content. Also, this software helps in determining or calculating plagiarism also. 

Students simply need to copy and paste the content on the website or the software and select the check grammar and check plagiarism option, the website will take some time to load and the results will be displayed on the screen. 

Students if are writing on paper or a journal they cannot use this application then, students will need to proofread manually. 

Students can also follow the practice of drafting, where students write multiple drafts before they finally submit the content for their essay, although drafting of essay is actually time-consuming, it is very helpful in case of writing technical or important essays. 

Students after proofreading can simply edit the content, by editing, students can simply add or delete anything they find is important or not, students need to make sure that their content is presentable,
