How to Write an Effective Essay

Thanks a lot. There is a problem with sound in this video. It goes acynchronous after 1:26 min.

I think James is one of the best teachers ever known to me. I am Nisha . I am from India. My English is good but after listening to James’ lectures I could not resist falling in love with his style of teaching. I think his enthusiasm and his crispy humors while teaching is incredible. Not only English but he has helped me improving my teaching skills also, as I am a teacher by profession.

I think you are wonderful teacher for me,I am Ozlem.I am from Turkey ,my English is terrible but I am still training.First my grammar so bad:)))) I hope so I will to learn very soon:))))) Thank you very much….

Hi, My name’s Tatiana, I’m from Argentina. My teacher recomened this page to practice listening. I’m learning English, so my english isn’t good.. ja ja.. I liked this page a lot.
Kisses.

I am Jeyasugiththan from Sri Lanka. I hope it is good to follow James to improve my English. I have been never seen this type of teaching before. I like this page a lot.

I was looking for along time free English on internet. Finally i discovered best teacher on engvid .God bless on all of you. Keep on good work . Thank you.

Congratulation to James, he is pretty nice teacher, understandable all the time. I am studying from Panama, but living in USA. These english’s videos are very usufull to many people.

Well done. Excellent with high sense of humor, thanks

Hi James

I liked a lot your video class. I have one comment to you. I think that it will be better for the student just think in 3 steps on the essay task. Introduction, body (main ideas, support ideas) and conclusion (about main idea) as you explain. Because, when you read about the task you already have a question, so, you do not need to think about another question. And about the thesis, I think is kind of confusing. However, I really enjoy your class.
Thank you
Bye

Hey:) My name’s Maria and would say, that your video lessons are really good for improving the language skills! Relying my own experience, I thought it’s perfect to study English, when you’re surrounded by native speakers only…but now I fully realized, that your classes are of much use as well – one gets to know so many new interesting words, expressons and even sentences (!), which you can further use in your own speech. Well, I’m completely satisfied with what you’re doing and how you’re teaching! Thanx a lot for that!

thank’s james

thnx very much

best teacher EVER .Thanks

thank u very much..

Hey, how could you ever teach such a boring skill in such a humorous way? Congrads.

Just wanted to say thanks! After watching this video (several times). I took my college Accuplacer essay test again and scored a 6 (up from a 4) and avoided remedial english. :-)
Thanks again!

I’m sure it will help me to write an essay!

Thanks you James it’s an effective way to explain an effective essay, that’s really helpful for me, I have to write an essay of “King Speech” movie, it’s a good movie I recommend it.
(bad english, im still learning)

Hay, theacher, i just wont to say that i like your lessons very much, but this particular one i dont quite understand. i ll trie to figure out while trying to write an essay.

What is the difference between care and loving?

It is really helpful lesson. The essay structure proposed here is nice and easy to understand. Thank you.

Thankyou for sharing your lecture, it actually taught me how to write thesis statement and what is required for a good essay. You made my job easy. Thanks alot! :)

Hi James, I am preparing to take the IESLT exam in a couple of weeks and I am having a hard time with the writing section, I just watched a video where you explain an easy way to write an essay, it was very fun the way you explained it and found it very helpful. Thanks and I will be watching more of your on line-classes. Octavio from Mexico

wow that’s very helpful thanks :)

thank you … i find this video is very helpful but i don’t think that it works for all kinds of essays , i mean when you write an essay about your your life you cant ask a question a first !!

WHERES MR E. LOL GREAT LESSON N SO MUCH FUN.THANK YOU.

Thanks! ^_^

greatings everyone,
I would love if you would put a video on how to write a very good grabber for an intro ..

A massive thank you ..

This video did help but, I have to write a essay on Foreign Policy about if Iran does have very powerful weapons or do they not but, know I have a awesome In the Beginning Paragraph thanks James for your help

Thank you James for tips, they are very useful. I’d like see more lessons of vocabulary and listening.

Thank you James

My brother recommended I would possibly like this website. He was once entirely right. This post actually made my day. You can not believe simply how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

i Just wanted to say thank you for this video but i still have problem to do the conclusion can you do another conclusion please? thanks and advance.

It’s really very useful for people who wants to learn English. Thank you very much..

I am an ESL teacher and I wanted to show my students on of these videos. Due to blocking of many websites, is there any way we are allowed to download them?

hello, I`m from Argentina and i love this page so i wrote my essay about which is better love or money, i wish if you could answer me if this essay is good or not.

NOWADAYS WE LIVE IN A VERY CONSUMERIST WORLD WHICH MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN OUR LIVES IS THE MONEY FOR THE HAPPINES AND NOT THE LOVE.

IN THE FIRST PLACE, LOT OF PEOPLE CONFUSED MONEY WITH HAPPINESS BUT THE REAL THING IS THAT THEY DONT SEE LOVE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IN LIFE. THEREFORE IT’S POSSIBLE THAT YOU HAVE THE MONEY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD BUT YOU FEEL SO LONELY AND POOR IN LOVE.

ON THE OTHER HAND, IT SAID THAT IS WORTH TO BE POOR BUT WITH LOT OF LOVE THAN BE RICH AND DO NOT HAVE ANYONE FOR LOVE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SOULD LEARN ABOUT LOVE AND MONEY.

I AGREE THAT IF WE DONT HAVE MONEY IS MORE DIFFICULT TO LIVE AND BE HAPPY IN THE SAME TIME. BUT, IN CONCLUSION I THINK THAT WE DONT HAVE TO CARE SO MUCH FOR HAVE MONEY OTHERWISE WE MUST TO CHOOSE HAVE MORE PEOPLE FOR LOVE.

is this correct?

okay, so I think I got the general idea of how I’m supposed to write an essay. But, I’m still kind of confused on how to start it…on the video I learned it will be a good idea to start with a question, for example:
(this is the topic given to me) Should students do part time jobs?) how would you turn that into a different question for my essay ? and what should I do next….this is what I came up with…………….
would a regular student be capable to hande the responsibilities and pressures a part-time job offer?.

Very useful, i liked Rebecca’s explanation.

I am dara from kurdistan ,,thanks fa u James really u r the best English teacher that I have seen during my life ,,bcz u have so interisting lectures and u r so enthusiasm ,,,I wish best of luck fa u ,,,
