In particular, you must understand the difference between spoken and written phrases and words for your work to match the quality of ENL experts. But why do ESL students or writers struggle in developing coherent paragraphs or essays? Ideally, some encounter difficulties in generating ideas about an issue or subject. Others are unable to read and understand the text and consequently use their voice and words to write. For that reason, Al Badi indicates that most ESL students or writers are more likely to summarize or paraphrase the author\u2019s work. What do you think are some of the disadvantages of this approach? Even if your work is plagiarism-free, a professor can deem the paper to contain plagiarism as you have not unveiled new ideas based on scholarly sources. Similarly, direct rephrasing of the text might lead to grammar mistakes and undermine the text\u2019s structure and style. This article provides a roadmap for making your English better in essays by highlighting 11 ways to eliminate ESL markers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Avoid direct translation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You are more likely to agree that reasoning in your first language (for instance, Kiswahili or Kinyarwanda) and writing in English would make your text or essay awkward. In most cases, writers or experts tend to complete papers in all non-technical languages. For example, you will find a nurse graduate doing an essay in business. Unless such a person researches and reads extensively, his or her paper would contain a lot of ESL markers. What does this mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A nurse graduate from Kenya might write, \u201cA company made a profit within a year.\u201d As you can see, this sentence does not contain any grammatical mistakes, but it is unacceptable for customers requiring ENL or top-10 services. Ideally, a business graduate or someone who reads extensively would write, \u201ca company breaks even within the first financial year.\u201d The first person (nurse graduate) directly translated the text from his or her first language. However, the second statement gives detailed information. In particular, the company has met its initial investments (capital) after operating for 12 years. If you have a challenge in expressing ideas, writing only papers that match your expertise would be best.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2.Constantly review homonyms\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are some of the strategies that ENL writers use to make their English or essays perfect? Ideally, UvoCorp.com recommends appropriate usage of an online grammar and style checker. By utilizing this software, you might assume that your paper would not contain any typo mistakes. However, you might be wrong since the grammar and style checker might be unable to rectify misused homonyms. For ESL writers, constantly reviewing homonyms is obligatory. Some examples are outlined below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right \u2013 write<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forth \u2013 fourth\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead \u2013 lid<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seam \u2013 seem<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their \u2013 there<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Too \u2013 to<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Principle \u2013 principle\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on these examples, you must be keen when manually proofreading your work before uploading the final draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Avoid using informal or simple words<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might think an ENL writer utilizes complex vocabulary to make their essays or write-ups perfect. However, it is never the case as most avoid using simple or informal words. As an ESL writer, start eliminating the following terms in your essays:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use ethical or moral instead of right<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use undesirable rather than awful or terrible<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use useful instead of good<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use obtain or receive rather than get<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use demonstrate instead of show<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use provide rather than give\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By eliminating these words, you will achieve something similar to beginning a journey of a thousand miles with a single step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Learn to maintain agreements in your texts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As most ESL writers focus on ensuring that the verb reflects the number of subject(s), some forget to check the tenses or blindly follow grammar and style checker suggestions. Take a look at the following examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UvoCorp.com offers their writers the best price per page \u2013 correct because of the pronoun \u201ctheir.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UvoCorp.com offers its writers the best price per page\u00a0 \u2013 incorrect because of the pronoun \u201cit.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When referring to the company, use the plural \u201cpronoun\u201d; however, the verb should remain singular.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Examples with inconsistent and consistent tenses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She went to school and write an essay \u2013 incorrect because of using present and past tense verbs in one sentence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She went to school and wrote an essay \u2013 correct because of the consistent use of the past tense verbs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Avoid unnecessary repetition<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overusing similar words in your sentence makes your work wordy. For instance, it is incorrect to write, \u201cTourists visit Nairobi city, Cairo city, and New York City.\u201d It would be best just to say, \u201cTourists visit Nairobi, Cairo, and New York City.\u201d By putting the city at the end of the sentence, you have represented every region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6. Always follow parallelism<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why do you think UvoCorp.com emphasizes making your text simple to understand but not ordinary? Ideally, one of the rationales concerns adhering to grammar rules. For instance, as a writer, you must use parallelism at all costs. Take a look at the following examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She likes traveling, swimming, and sleeping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She likes to travel, swim, and sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She likes to travel, swimming, and sleeping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She likes traveling, swimming, and to sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first two sentences are in parallelism form, whereas the last two are not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ideally, parallelism makes your work consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7. Use active voice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always ensure that your verb comes after a subject (noun or pronoun) in your sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Avoid using phrasal verbs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use devise or invent rather than Come up with\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use extinguish instead of put off<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">9. Never use \u201con how to\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The writer learned on how to avoid wordiness \u2013 incorrect\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The writer learned strategies for avoiding wordiness \u2013 correct<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10. Avoid using empty adverbs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Examples of these words are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Really<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Actually<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">11. Avoid generalization\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luc.edu\/literacy\/style_sheets.shtml\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Loyola University Chicago<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, general statements are more likely to be categorical, abstract, and false. Ideally, it might also suggest a writer never conducted in-depth research on a specific topic. Take a look at the following sentences:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Member of Parliament represents the interests and concerns of citizens in the government \u2013 it is specific<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0The Member of Parliament helps citizens \u2013 general<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the second sentence, the information is scanty and tends to raise more concerns and questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the information presented in this blog post might not be enough for ESL writers to sharpen their skills, it offers a foundation for becoming better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since writing is a multifaceted intellectual production requiring concentration, discipline, and careful thought, the journal \u201cAcademic Writing Difficulties&#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/11-ways-to-get-rid-of-esl-markers-in-your-writing\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":6045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6043"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6043"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6047,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6043\/revisions\/6047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
