you'd improve 150% if you just dumped your ASL to the roadside. Speakings one thing, writings another. When you write at least, the editing/self proof-reading should be obvious as its right there in front of your eyes.

Another example - lolz or sowwy - is not appropriate in college essays.

Take up reading - that is how it helped with my grammar. The more you read, the more you will come to understand grammar, syntax, vocabulary, etc. I read an average of 2 to 3 books a week.

Good luck!

I would be more than happy to help you with your grammar. Have you tried using Microsoft Office Word to type? It has a feature you can automatically check the grammar and give you suggestions. If you ever need a proof-reader of your work, let me know I would be glad to help.

MS Word isn't always helpful with grammar.

If your grammar is bad enough, then MS Word won't help.

There's also an issue of having a well-written paper.

MS Word analyzes each sentence, not the overall paper.

For instance, it's not good to keep saying "She..." over and over.

"On Friday, she went to the mall. She got some new clothes. She ate at Taco Bell. She finished with the mall. She drove home. She went to sleep."

Normally, that would get points taken off.

However, MS Word would only see the whole thing as correct since each sentence is grammatically correct.

True, I did that, but I was forced. I wasn't happy to read more than 3 books a week.

I found a easier way for people to learn.

History Channel, Discovery Channel, and Role Playing Games - Books, Movies, Video Games, and of course "Dragon and Dunegon".

If you constantly watch those channels, or play those games, you will start a habit of using the grammar you learned and start twisting it around with the vocabulary you have learned.

Once you get ahold of it, it gets easier, but not the vocabualry, it's a whole different section. Phew.

"On a bright day of Friday, this georgous girl with crystal blue eyes went to the mall, she bought new clothes, ate at taco bell, and when she finished up, she left the mall and walked to the car. The car started with a purring feeling humming front of her. As soon as the purring calms down, she engaged her return to home."


Best thing to do to write an essay is to exaggerate it with adjective. You see, if you describe it with details, that's what makes the grammar so strong and in a good constructure.
 
mine's better -

"On a bright day of Friday, a gorgeous girl with sparkling blue eyes went to the mall to buy a lingerie as a surprise for her boyfriend. After shopping, she ate at taco bell and then walked back to her car. The car started up with a purring hum. While driving home, she pondered further on perfecting her surprise plan. She got home and slept."

:naughty:
 
Boo!

"On a bright day of Friday, a gorgeous girl with sparkling blue eyes went to the mall to buy a lingerie as a surprise for her boyfriend. After shopping, she ate at taco bell and then walked back to her car. The car started up with a purring hum. While driving home, she pondered further on perfecting her surprise plan. When she arrived, she was the one who is surprised as her boyfriend laid the white sheet with candles in the middle and many different kinds of desserts. As she started to observe her boyfriend, she, slowly, strips her clothes down and went to give her boyfriend a kiss in the nude."
