/^t/There are many ways in which a person can express his ideas. An essay is one of such ways. Its name derives from a French word 'esseyer' which means to try. An essay writing is an attempt to show and support one's point of view. Every language uses this form of the expression, however, every language has a set of very strict conventions of writing. These conventions are the major cause of Polish students making serious mistakes when writing an essay.
