Feelings about Essay!

The word essay makes me scared, because it points towards losing marks. It feels really bad when you are doing great in class and all the sudden your marks are pushed down because of essay writing. Essay's bring frustration and sadness for me. All it does is surprises me; whenever I think I did better than last time it still remains the same. I find it difficult, challenging and hard. It's the most common part where i can easily lose marks.
I can easily lose marks in essay because of my grammar, content and structure. I know what I am writing about but mostly after putting it all together it becomes a bit more complicated, which makes it hard for teachers to read and understand my point. As English is not my first language therefore, I have problems with writing and grammar.
Something that I really want to work on to improve my essay is my grammar and structure. I want my grammar to be better so I do not lose much marks and i want my structure to be better so teacher can understand my point and not cut my marks for content and structure. The best way I can do it is by doing brain storm before writing essay. It really helps and it's easier to put them together and in other which can help teacher to understand better that what has happened and what was my point which i wanted to make.
