What are they looking for in an essay?

I was looking for a good video that could help us writing an essay, and I found this interesting video about tips of a good college essay. You can watch an interview that the Connecticut Educational Notebook made to James Moroney, Director of Educational Consulting. They talk about the topics of essays and also about the most important thing ORGANIZATION of the essay.
In international examinations, they are looking for good organization, coherence and passion in the writing it is produced. It is imperative that you take the essay writing seriously and do not make it funny, FUNNY ESSAYS WON'T WORK!

Famous failures

I had the chance to watch this amazing video, thanks to a friend of mine. I think it is awesome to know that such great people came from such big failures. It gives a lesson that in life we must fail to learn, and also that LIFE = RISK. Enjoy it!!!!!

June 2008, Upper 3rd working on the writing section

This is how the students from upper 3rd have been working with the FCE, in this time they are working on writing letters following the patters of the FCE writing section. They have to create pieces of writing with no grammar mistakes and lots of coherence. The book they used was "Get on track to FCE", this book is a level below the red one they used on the other post you have seen before. They have done an excellent job. Enjoy watching the pictures!
