I think essay divide into narrative essay and disquisitive essay; disquisitive essay is more difficult than narrative essay, because disquisitive essay need to use formal structure to write, academic words and we should impersonal describe our own opinions.
For me, I think the academic words and structure are the most difficult in essay. In usually, I like to use the general words in the essay, because sometimes I still confuse how to distinguish the general words and academic words. Moreover, I would use some difficult words which check from dictionary, but I do not really know whether the words correct. Furthermore, structure is a big problem in my essay. Academic essay should use formal structure while narrative use informal. I used to write some simple sentences in the essay or I can not coherent every sentence. I think perhaps because I rarely use academic tone to describe my mind, so I would natural write the informal structure.
But I think the more I write, the more improved I get. There are so many chances to practice my essay in the future, so I should try my best to finish it.
