Complete PICLE corpus of essays by Polish advanced EFL students (330,000)

/^t/Furthermore, Polish students have a lot of difficulties when they face the great variety of types of essays that are available in English. In Polish there are some expository techniques such as rozprawka, wypracowanie and felieton, nevertheless they are not so numerous and their structure is very free. For example one can show cause and effect relation in every type of the above techniques whereas in English this type of relation is reserved only for cause and effect essay. In English every type of essay i.e. definition, cause and effect, comparison and contrast, argumentative etc. is ruled by its own conventions. Consequently, the variety of English expository techniques is another cause of difficulties for Polish students.
