在英国大学，1000-3000字的essay是非常普遍的，也是时刻压在留学生身上的负担，如何能够自己着手写作相信很多同学都犯难，有的可能是因为自身的原因，比如时间不够，或是有琐事缠绕，有的可能是因为理解不够，不知道怎样下笔，但不论是何种原因，你需要了解essay的具体写作步骤，以及大致的写作框架，相信大家都能够完美的写出一篇优秀的essay，下面小编就来具体给大家讲一讲1000-3000字essay的写作技巧供大家参考，希望对同学们有所帮助。

如果你不能够在题目的理解上花时间，那么你在写作的时候，万一发现写错了，删掉重来倒还好，但是你浪费了很多的时间并且心情也会随之消沉，这会影响你下面的创作思路，
