Tips for writing (GRE + TOEFL)

Oh dear! Here i come up with an article on how to write the Writing section in Toefl! It's never a burden on one's little buttery fingers and to rest your bum and type something on the PC, unless you are in a test  where in a bunch of guys and gals hop in doing the same you do! Have a niche over everyone, try to out stand everyone!

How to have an edge over everyone? would be common question in your mind! 
A few tips from my experience ( is scored 26 in writing :) )

I don't want to say in the normal way, that write intro, write body then conclusion!  let's see it differently!
-> Deciding the intro
-> contradict or support?
->Why do you wanna do something?
->Any experience?
-> what does your imagination say?
->any embarrassing situation related?
->Concluding point
 Here i go explaining everything:

-> Deciding the intro: Well here comes the part that needs to kick of relative to  all! Intro of anything is not that simple to say ain't that? lemme see if you can write a few words about yourself! Well that could be tough!
Okay lets get something easier
Write a 30 words paragraph on this blog or any thing(please mention what are  you writing on) and make someone check it! or else mail me at skarthikc@gmail.com

'am gonna suggest you (for free of course :) ). I don't mean that you gotta describe something, just let me know how would you introduce something in just 30 words (not accurately though)!
-> Don't directly mention if you support or go against the topic straight away in the first paragraph
-> Do reconsider your thoughts after the intro, have quick check (very imp)
-> Dont start off with your personal experience
->No side heading, stating INTRO :)
-> Write the first few lines elegantly with no major mistakes, specially grammatical!
->Introduce as if you are doing it for a layman!
->Keep practicing these tips!
-> contradict or support? 
          Your opinion valueS!  ever saw such a board? Every customer-friendly firm keeps it! neva mind but it does have a strong value in case of AWA or writing (toefls) or ielts whatever. You   are the only criteria that the examiner is concerned of! So have a little piece of burden on your shoulders coz you are valued! :)

                   Remember something very serious: If you decided to go for to any topic i mean to support it then do it! whatver may hurdle that thought! ever saw kris srikanth commenting? or else ramiz raja?

Kris srikanth : He is an ambasador or whatever they call.....of Chennai super kings! an league cricket team in india! Well even if his team lost, he says
"they played better cricket" as if the other team was sledging :D
So be a srikanth when you are writing! Keep babbling on what you think is right! be yourself.
-> please don't write like this:
 In some cases i support  1 and in some cases i support 2. I' am gonna get irked, so does the examiner! I lost my GRE awa due to this! :)

-> Remember your essay is being evaluated by someone who did it since past 20 years! So let him know that, you are the one who'd impress him the most!(don't write a letter to examiner!:D just kidding! )


->Why do you wanna do something?
       Now you are a fan of a celebrity star! you don't become a fan of something just like that right? you must either be flattered by their action or by their beauty or anything, it matters!

          In analogous to that situation if you are on to one side of a line then just say why are you on that side! mention the pro's of A and yes con's of B!!!!! Don't repeat the points please!
->Any experience?
 If there is a topic like
is it good taking risks and doing things quicker than going steady and doing the work in this fast paced world!

Oh yeah, you must have both the experiences in your life! right? So which one would you prefer basing on your experience? write it in neat and simple plain english! that's it!


 
 -> Be loyal to some topic! don't shift it like the partners, depending on your convinience( just kidding)

->just write your experience in brief, don't elaborate!
-> no emotionalizing moments to be written!



 -> what does your imagination say:
  Never bother if you don't have any experience, you have your own brain buddy! think and think till you arrive at an experience!


Imagine yourself in the situation asked, pack up your socks in those boots and have a ball, write whatever you have imagined! mind you do practice these things on at least five essays!
->any embarrassing situation related?
     Write it, in case! you don't need to imagine it! It'll just let the evaluator know that you were a bit honest!

->Concluding point:
 I did not say conclusion, i said the point! never mind what ever you write, it must be focused on to that one focal point which you've been explaining all these minutes.


Wherever might the light travels, whatever the source it comes from, the focus is on making one point brighter!

Here is what you gotta do! Whatever you write, never matter unless they focus on a point that has to shrine!
