A simple method for writing a good, effective essay in English. If you don’t know where to start when you are given a writing assignment, start here and learn how to do it right!
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.
nisha
Dear Nisha,
I am from Pakistan. While reading your comment, I found something strange; You used the word “humor” as a countable noun in your comment. I believe the word humor is an uncountable noun in the above context. However, it can be used as a countable noun only when it means the state of your feelings or mind at a particular time for example to be in the best of humors or when it means one of the four liquids that were thought in the past to be in a person’s body and to influence health and character, the latter meaning is of course not in use anymore. I hope I haven’t offended you.

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

I’m Ken , I’m from Malaysia , currently I’m studying in Dalat International school in Penang, for the most part i not doing good cause my grammar is bad , the reason is that my previous school didn’t teach a very good job in grammar since the most i could remember is them teaching vocab.heck maybe i just plain forgot everything, so basicly i don’t even know the basic of basic grammar like noun or pronoun or the rest of the basic . I don’t really want to kick out from that school so is there any advice from me ?

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!

This is my first time to visit your website. In my first day, I stayed 5 hours just to exhaust all the basic knowledge I need to learn in speaking. I love to write. But since English is my second language, am not yet expert in using some prepositions appropriately in sentences. I am hoping you can help me on this problem.
mar
FIVE HOURS IN ONE DAY!??! That is great, mar! Please register and tell your friends about the site if you can. Let us know if you think there are things we can improve. We have some preposition classes, but this is a topic that involves a lot of memorization, unfortunately.

Is there a video lesson here? I’m sorry, I’m new here. Could you please tell me how to open the video?

Hi Dian. You should see a video right at the top of this page, under the video title and description and above the quiz. If you don’t see it, please make sure you are able to watch YouTube videos on other sites. Try using a modern browser like Chrome if you are having trouble. Some countries (or schools/offices) block YouTube videos, so that may be the problem.

Hi James,
I haven’t been in school for over 20 years! I just decided to go back to school and pursue my dream career. Now, I have no problem being creative, but my problem is when I have an assignment, specially about writing, I panic and don’t know how to start! I searched how to write an essay and I came across your video and it was helpful. However, I’m still stuck and haven’t starting my essay, I’m finding it difficult to start. My essay is regarding an influential hairstylist and I have to detail his work and how he’s changed the industry, etc….then, I must write how his work influenced me. I can work on hair but I can’t write a simple essay!

Dear Mr James,
I am Hiep, living in Viet Nam. Incidentally, I watched your video about teaching English about how to write an effective essay. It was so exciting to me and the way you taught is very easy to understand for learners. Really, I liked it very much because you helped me to write an essay. Upon to now, I have just writen an essay without layout before writing that is reason why I often get a low point for test. Everything changes for me after watching your video. I think I should spend more time to write as much as possible with layout before starting to write. Thank you again, I always keep in touch with Engvid.com.
yours sincerely,
New leaners,

neelam17
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?

Well, reviewing all the concepts about how to write an effective essay, I can remember the rule of 5 steps: First, the question; second, the thesis statements; third, the introduction; fourth, to prove the thesis with main reason and supporting ideas; and the last fifth step, the conclusion. Thanks a lot teacher James from EngVid, a very interesting lesson.

Dear James
Your video about essay structure make it seem easy but I always have problems with sequence and organisation. In particular when writing academic essays I can never pick out main headings for body proofs-for either side of the argument. where am I going wrong??
AlexisEm
The introduction and how to write an effective essay were excellent but where do i find how to write a body paragraph mentioned in the how to write an introduction video?

Thanks a lot. There is a problem with sound in this video. It goes acynchronous after 1:26 min.
Andrey — the problem with the sound sync has now been fixed. Thanks for letting us know.
Hey can i have a link to the forum because i cant find it and I have many questions to ask for i need help.
You can comment here and also on our Facebook page!
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.
Dear Nisha,
I am from Pakistan. While reading your comment, I found something strange; You used the word “humor” as a countable noun in your comment. I believe the word humor is an uncountable noun in the above context. However, it can be used as a countable noun only when it means the state of your feelings or mind at a particular time for example to be in the best of humors or when it means one of the four liquids that were thought in the past to be in a person’s body and to influence health and character, the latter meaning is of course not in use anymore. I hope I haven’t offended you.
Ali Amiri
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….

thanks
[ I’m using engvid to improve my teaching skills as well and James is really helping, I really like your dynamic style and Im sure my students will apreciate it too. Thanks a lot James! ]
Thanks very much for all teachers.
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
I’m Ken , I’m from Malaysia , currently I’m studying in Dalat International school in Penang, for the most part i not doing good cause my grammar is bad , the reason is that my previous school didn’t teach a very good job in grammar since the most i could remember is them teaching vocab.heck maybe i just plain forgot everything, so basicly i don’t even know the basic of basic grammar like noun or pronoun or the rest of the basic . I don’t really want to kick out from that school so is there any advice from me ?

Your fan Inka
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
thank you very much
thnx very much

Hi Alesia. There is currently a problem with the registration. It should be fixed by the end of October 2010. Until then, you can comment without signing up. After that, only members will be able to comment.
I am a 31 year freshman from Ohio.James’s video on how to write an effective essay has helped me immensely, thank you. I will pass this site along to my study group.
This is my first time to visit your website. In my first day, I stayed 5 hours just to exhaust all the basic knowledge I need to learn in speaking. I love to write. But since English is my second language, am not yet expert in using some prepositions appropriately in sentences. I am hoping you can help me on this problem.
FIVE HOURS IN ONE DAY!??! That is great, mar! Please register and tell your friends about the site if you can. Let us know if you think there are things we can improve. We have some preposition classes, but this is a topic that involves a lot of memorization, unfortunately.
Is there a video lesson here? I’m sorry, I’m new here. Could you please tell me how to open the video?
Thanks alot!
Hi Dian. You should see a video right at the top of this page, under the video title and description and above the quiz. If you don’t see it, please make sure you are able to watch YouTube videos on other sites. Try using a modern browser like Chrome if you are having trouble. Some countries (or schools/offices) block YouTube videos, so that may be the problem.
Thank you soo much my techer, I’ll become okay with your vid.

Hi James,
I haven’t been in school for over 20 years! I just decided to go back to school and pursue my dream career. Now, I have no problem being creative, but my problem is when I have an assignment, specially about writing, I panic and don’t know how to start! I searched how to write an essay and I came across your video and it was helpful. However, I’m still stuck and haven’t starting my essay, I’m finding it difficult to start. My essay is regarding an influential hairstylist and I have to detail his work and how he’s changed the industry, etc….then, I must write how his work influenced me. I can work on hair but I can’t write a simple essay!

Dear Mr James,
I am Hiep, living in Viet Nam. Incidentally, I watched your video about teaching English about how to write an effective essay. It was so exciting to me and the way you taught is very easy to understand for learners. Really, I liked it very much because you helped me to write an essay. Upon to now, I have just writen an essay without layout before writing that is reason why I often get a low point for test. Everything changes for me after watching your video. I think I should spend more time to write as much as possible with layout before starting to write. Thank you again, I always keep in touch with Engvid.com.
yours sincerely,
New leaners,
Hiepnguyenthanh.

hi james! thanks for uploading the introductory part of the essay but i want to get more tips of body part and conclusion can u please upload this vidoes because im going to give ielts test
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?

Well, reviewing all the concepts about how to write an effective essay, I can remember the rule of 5 steps: First, the question; second, the thesis statements; third, the introduction; fourth, to prove the thesis with main reason and supporting ideas; and the last fifth step, the conclusion. Thanks a lot teacher James from EngVid, a very interesting lesson.

really really nice class james!!! thank you so much!
you are the man brow!
Dear James
Your video about essay structure make it seem easy but I always have problems with sequence and organisation. In particular when writing academic essays I can never pick out main headings for body proofs-for either side of the argument. where am I going wrong??
The introduction and how to write an effective essay were excellent but where do i find how to write a body paragraph mentioned in the how to write an introduction video?
James,thank you a lot.your leason is so interesting!I hope to watch more!
A very good teacher!!!so funny and so clear!!
bravo
Thank you, James.
This is helpful and ready to have more from you.

well done
Thank you James, I learned!
