Essay question...Expanded answer...3-point paragraph...5-paragraph essay...

Those words strike fear in many students, but that doesn't have to happen. Writing is a skill that can be learned like any other. You don't have to have a natural inclination to be able to communicate in a professional, intelligent manner.

"But I won't have to write in my job! Why do I have to learn something I won't use?"
Really? Are you sure?

Say you are a plumber. You spend years learning your trade. Your boss comes to you unexpectedly and tells you that he is retiring. He would like for you to buy the business.  This is your chance! You need a loan. Guess what you need? A written, professional business plan to show the bank.

Want to own your own hair salon? Same story.

Want to go on to college? Grad school? You will not stand a chance of getting in without an impressive application essay, and you won't get very far once you are in if you can't write a good paper.

If you really just want to be short-sighted, just remember, you have to write to pass the GED exam.

So you need to learn to write. Not a problem.

Here are just a couple tips to get you started:

1) Read. Yep. It's a very important part of being a good writer.  If you want to be a golfer, you analyze the swings of professionals. So, if you want to write, read things written by professionals. It doesn't even matter what you read. Car and Driver magazine, Cosmopolitan, the newspaper, War and Peace. Just a bit each day.

2) Figure out which basic skills you lack.  Do you have any idea where a comma actually goes in a sentence?  It's a big deal...really...consider this:
