Read and study all the ideas on this page. Then apply these ideas to your own essay.

Also, when you get past the editing phase and start proofreading, here ares some excellent ideas from PsyDAG:

<i>In the future, if nobody is available to proofread your work, you can do this yourself. After writing your material, put it aside for a day — at least several hours. (This breaks mental sets you might have that keep you from noticing problems.) <b>Then read it aloud as if you were reading someone else's work.</b> (Reading aloud slows down your reading, so you are less likely to skip over problems.)</i>

(You can also either read it aloud to someone else or have someone else read it aloud to you! The latter works really well!)

<i>If your reading goes smoothly, that is fine. However, <b>wherever you "stumble" in your reading, other people are likely to have a problem in reading your material. Those "stumbles" indicate areas that need revising.</b>

Once you have made your revisions, repeat the process above. Good papers often require many drafts.</i>
