1. Select a topic every day. Topic should be like some important event of the current affairs (islam vs west, enlightened moderation, Good governance, devolution of power, reforms in education system, rising oil prices etc etc).

2. Read the daily DAWN, collect information on such current issues. NOte down difficult english terms. Look for the meanings of those words in some dictionary. (it will help u improve ur vocabulary besides collecting some material).

3. Write in your own words, some essay on any topic, reproducing those difficult words, so that u may practise those difficult words.

4. Try to get ur essay checked by someone good at English Language. If u'll only go for ESSAY BOOKS, u'll get outdated material.....though it is also helpful but still u should keep ur-self updated by reading important topics from newspaper. Essay should be written such that :

1. Ur written material is to the point....don't include any irrelevant things, as the examiner do check each and every word (mind it).

2. No spelling mistake, no english tense mistakes etc.

3. Try using educated vocabulary

4. Do not go on for filling pages and pages.....Stick to the topic under discussion and try to touch each aspect of that topic.
