Many students in my primary school had issues with writing their essays, especially English essays, because English was not our native language. However we were supposed to speak English and do our exams in English. This means that we were to write our essays in English. Everyone who spoke any other language at school was punished. English is my country’s official national language and that’s why all schools must use English. This is to help students learn how to write in English as well as to speak it. The process of learning English was not that easy for me because English was not my first language. The other pupils were also having the same challenge given that there are so many different native languages in my country. My country has more than 53 tribes all of which speak different languages. Many of the pupils only speak their native language before going to school. Being introduced forcefully into writing and speaking a foreign language is difficult for such children. Sometimes you will find school children writing in their mother tongue when they are meant to be writing in English, or translating the words directly, thus making the words lack their meaning when translated into English. This makes it hard for the teacher to understand what the child was really trying to say in the essay. Some people spend the entire primary school period without knowing how to write good English essays as well as being unable to speak fluent English. English compositions are compulsory in exams and that’s why teachers encourage students to write as many English essays as possible. It is a way of practicing how to write a good essay. This problem has made students look for other ways to write better essays to meet their teachers’ expectations. Through the assistance of their parents these students go to essay writing companies where they hire a writer to write their essays. Not all the students’ can afford these online writing services. Those who are unfortunate are left asking themselves, “Who can help to write my essay for me cheap?” They have no alternative but to write the essays themselves or to look for relatives or friends who will write the essays for them free of charge. Sometimes this friend or family member may not have the skill of writing good essays and this will mean these students will still submit poor quality work to their teachers. The students whose essays are written by essay writers continue to do better than those who have no essay writers to write their essay. But what’s interesting in our country is that all students from all parts of the country must sit for a similar exam. This exam is closely supervised and no malpractice is allowed and this is what determines the final passing marks. Those who can write a good essay have an advantage as everyone must depend on him or herself. The students who use professional writers have an advantage as these essays help the students to learn how to write their own essays properly. They have before them professionally written and constructed examples to use as a guideline when they write their own essays.
