example, instead of saying “when 
you

you 
will have a chance to
experience new cultures”, you should say “when 
a student
goes abroad, 
they
will have a chance to experience new cultures”
18. Active tense can be changed to passive tense 
to omit the pronoun
.
19. Effect is 
a noun
. 
Affect is 
a verb
.
20. In the introduction, do not tell the reader what you’re going to do.
For example: 
“In this essay I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages
of studying abroad”
. No need. The way that I will teach you how to give an
introduction is going to 
be incredibly clear
, and 
incredibly high level
. I’m not
just teaching you how to write essays for a 5.5 in the exam, I’m teaching you
how to write essays that will be good for any university in the world. So, my
method is incredibly clear, but helps you with your organization. So, instead
you could write 
a concise thesis statement 
like 
“This essay will show both the
positive and negative benefits of studying abroad”
.
21. Avoid using absolutes such as; 
all, every, none, only, always, never,
completely, totally
. For example: when 
everyone 
goes abroad, they 
always
suffer home sickness. Be careful of using 100% and 0% statements.
