Is your essay too vague?

24 September 2009 No Comment

Here is an example of a sentence that is too vague: I like movies, music , and laughing.

Have you ever met someone who doesn’t like these things? That’s like hating back massages (maybe a rancid essential oil experience?).

OK, here’s a way to change this sentence into something specific to you: I love cult films, electronic music, and sarcasm. Cult films are called cult films because they have a select and dedicated following, electronic music gets on a lot of people’s nerves, and sarcasm is an art not everyone has mastered.

Simple changes such as this really give your sentences life, and as a result people will  get more of a sense of who you are.
