GRE Writing section

[Piggie]

Hi again!

I was wondering if anyone can help me. You see, I am really worried about the writing section on the GRE. As I read those fancy example essays generously posted on the Internet, I realize how pathetic my writing style and how miserable and poor my active vocabulary are...

I don't really know how those guys manage to put their thoughts so nicely and to use all the examples so craftily!

Not that they lowered my self-esteem, don't get me wrong. I just feel frustrated. So if you guys have any suggestions on how to improve the writing style, it would be awesome if you could share that onfo.

Readin, reading and reading is the key I guess. But what on earth do they read, those people with preternatural abilities to write????

Can't wait to hear from you!!!!

hi Piggie nice to meet you in this forum.

I fully agree with you.
I'm a Korean, Korea do not use to communicate in English.
So especially, English writing for me is very arduous progression.

I think that this problem can solve by "practice" and "fine brainstorming"

hi there! Nice to meet you too, sorry can't address you by name.

Thank you very much for the valuable advice!
Yeah, practice makes perfect. But I am lacking the wonderful native expressions, word-clusters and such. You know, I, as a non-native speaker, have hard time formulating my thoughts in English. And what I write in the essay still does not sound good. American students would never write it the way I do. So I want to work on that before I follow your advise - practice.

And, if you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "fine brainstorming"? Do I have to take a separate topic and start muling it over and over? I thought I won't have much time to do so on the test Do you have any strategy for effective brainstorming? Please, share if you can For me there's no fine line between brainstaorming and procrastinating

Thx in advance!

hi Piggie again.
my name is Jae Hoon.

I think that practice makes perfect surely. and If you have not much of preparing GRE-writing, I think that ouy had better emulation.

I think that "emulation is the mother of creation".

You had better summirize "basical GRE-writing essay form" Do you have many details information? In Korea, many sample essays exist many private academy. (institute for only GRE-test) Many Korean of preparing GRE-test use this method. they can improve throught "best essay sample"

Hey, Jae,

You are so knowledgable and warm-hearted!!! I really appreciate that!
I'd like to clarify the term "basical GRE-writing essay form". To make something like a first draft, which will be general for every essay? If you have one, could you please send it to my email address? It's mayyakonovalova@gmail.com

And what kind of details information do you mean?

Hope to hear from you soon, Jae!!! Thx again

I think that many people of preparing GRE-test in another countries do not have GRE-test-materials.
So, If anyone send my e-mail and request some information to me, I can send some materials for GRE-test.
