After your first essays last week I think you should take into account these instructions:
1.- Use black or blue ink, never use pencils.
2.- Don't write between lines; your ideas need more room to surprise your teacher.
3.- Clear handwriting; your mark depends on your teacher's ability to read and understand your text (no cap letters nor even a mixture: you know about it)
4.- Use margins; your time at primary school finished a long time ago. Please, use wide margins so that your teacher can leave helpful comments and suggestions.
5.- Be serious: fifteen-minute-essays are not enough for 2nd BAC. Use a draft before the final version.
6.- Your dictionary is also your friend: look for new words and synonyms (you know your teacher loves them).
7.- Each essay is a new step to improve your writing, so revise your mistakes to avoid them next time, and ask your teacher about them if you have any doubt.
8.- Your teacher doesn't enjoy nightmares: after so long studying English you mustn't make such terrible mistakes.
9.- Write a list of your Do's and Don't's (things I do well/ things I won't do again).
10.- Read as much as you can: learning is your goal.
Have a look on a selection of your first essays. Find out those mistakes YOU ALL have and enjoy some original ideas.
