Question

What should I do if I can't think of an answer for one of the requirements of the essay?

Community Answer

If you can, ask your teacher to clarify the question. Tell them you don't understand. If they explain it to you another way, you may be able to figure out how to answer. If this is not possible, just do your best to answer the parts of the question you do understand.

Question

What do I do if I'm overthinking when trying to write an essay quickly?

Community Answer

Plan out ideas clearly and go with what you know is correct. Avoid using too many complex words just to sound fancy and try to get your point across. If you are overthinking too much, take a short break to come up with ideas and then get back to writing.

How can I write an essay about something unspoken?

Community Answer

Take notes on your own thoughts regarding the topic. Get deep into the topic, and type whatever you feel is correct regarding the topic. This will make the essay be true to you and more meaningful to others, as well as make it easier to type.
