Last essay that i wrote was in Mains 2012. And before that i wrote in 12th board.I got just 64 marks in essay in last mains and i followed the essay format that i used to follow in school i.e simple intro,body and conclusion and no examples,no current,no quotations .My essay ,now i think, was quite dull ,static .
Those who have got good marks in essay plz suggest me whether i should go for open-heart kind of essay ,making it dynamic without conforming to the conventional school type essay.
