For those who want to start from scratch. Dedicate an hour daily for paragraph writing on a particular topic and then get it checked by a good English teacher or a person who has passed CSS Essay before. By consistent practice you can tame the monster of essay.
What if, there is no any good English teacher in my contact and neither any CSP ?
Is there any online option ? Any software or may be website?

Start writing, vocabulary and grammar will get better by the time.

If you have no other means, post your pieces of writing on forum and get it checked.

Essay writing is an art and every art is learnt, it is seldom a God gifted talent and most of the times it has to be learnt and mastered to perfection. As I said that essay writing is an art so all we can provide is guidelines to be followed, you have to nurture it by practicing as much as you can, but practice in a direction because directionless effort may go awry.


  1. As an edifice is erected on strong foundation, similarly the grammatical and sentence structures are the very foundations of your essay. Keep them correct.
  2. Vocabulary is the way to adorn your expression, felicitous words may make your essay catchy for the examiner. Improve your vocabulary by reading. Sorry, I mean by pleasure reading, it will enhance your knowledge as well as vocabulary bank.
  3. If you are not good at using good structures and nice words, then keep your text as simple and error free, don't use advanced structures because in doing so you may make mistakes, remember one thing, correct usage of English language is the basic requirement, adorning it is secondary thing, ensure your basic requirement is fulfilled at least.
  4. Be to the point in your essay, it must not equivocal and misleading, because examiner doesn't have enough time to find his way in a labyrinth.
  5. Order your thoughts in a natural flow and try to be as much original in your thought as possible. Mark my words, originality of thought and clarity of expression is what matters. Crammers are discouraged, don't use stereotypical material, use your own thoughts.



Summing it up, I would say your essay must have three things, Clarity, conciseness and correctness.

And final advice, Practice as much as you can. Aristotle says "We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act but a habit".

Best of Luck.

dear correction needed please
it is not much complex thing as you given, it is simply based on your knowledge and logic, and can be approached easily by following three simple points as under
1.. essay must be having your own expression of emotions or thoughts which is stand on your knowledge.
2. essay must be simple that a common man can easily understand (ger maanus ya mushkil alfaaz k istamaal se parhez)
3. organized (har paragraph ek doosre se marboot ho)
or rahi baat grammer or punctuation ki to wo sirf hasb e zrurat hi kafi hy... or haan aham baat ger zruri bakwas se b parhez ho

My brother, None of your points I have denied. You said that essay must be written according to your natural thoughts, I agreed in my 5th point.

and there is no correction that was needed in my suggestions, every sagacious person would agree.

Now I make a correction in your text:
Quote:

Correct please: Which stands on your knowledge is CORRECT, you made a grammatical blunder, So that was hasb e zarurat grammar you were talking about.

All that you have said is just to console yourself, I would urge you to work hard rather relying on baseless assumptions. If it is not that much complex then it is not that much easy either. It is a competitive exam, everyone is competing, the points I made were very much true, now if someone denies them because he considers it hard to match the standards I would just say following.

دل کے بھلانے کو غالب یہ خیال اچھا ھے

I did not want to point out your more mistakes, I respect your opinion as everyone has his/her own. I did not deny any of your point. I don't agree to what you say, but I will defend your right of saying it till my death.

I have said the same thing in my post, let me pull out my words: "Be to the point in your essay, it must not equivocal and misleading, because examiner doesn't have enough time to find his way in a labyrinth." My dear you must use the words that are commensurate with your dignity as an educated person. You haven't corrected anything, just repeated the same that I said but you did it in some bizarre language. I hope Mods would take notice of it.

P.S: My suggestions were based on my two attempts of competitive exams and alhamdulillah I have never failed in essay paper, All praise and thanks to Allah almighty.
