What is important for a good language essay?

StructureFirstly, you need to ensure that your essay fully engages with and clearly answers the question that has been asked. Ensure that all of your answer links back to the question - re-using a word from the question or a synonym is usually a good way of doing this and highlighting the key parts of the question is also a useful way of making sure you are sticking to the question. Secondly, it is important that you structure the response in a logical and coherent manner because this will ensure that the examiner can follow and fully understand your answer - always plan your response before writing it and use connecting phrases throughout, for example 'per cominciare', 'in secondo luogo' and 'in conclusione'.ContentFurthermore, a good response will make use of a variety of tenses and sentence structures that really show off your knowledge - perhaps learn some phrases that trigger the subjunctive mood so that you are sure to get it in your essay, for example 'bisogna che', 'credo che' and 'è un peccato che'. I would also recommend perhaps writing a list of the tenses before you start writing to remind you of them as you write - this will ensure you won't forget to include any. Finally, ensure that you use topic/theme specific and linguistically advanced vocabulary - ensure that you keep lists of useful vocabulary either in a book or on a computer and go over them on a regular basis. Finally, always remember to give evidence to support your ideas and arguments. PEA - this is a good structure to follow when writing your response. Point - directly answer the question and give your argument. Evidence - find a quotation or scene that supports your idea. Analysis - explain why this is important and give your own personal interpretation.
