Essays are a chance to demonstrate original thinking and impress with written english skills. They are designed to test different things.
- Knowledge essays test what you have read or learned, making them an important part of the learning process.
- Comprehension: they test your hability to explain complex concepts and issues.
- They also test your hability to write a coherent argument.
Characteristics of perfect essay:
The main characteristic is the original thinking. That doesn´t mean coming up with a new theory, but it means that the essay stands out from the rest, perhaps approaching the topic from a different angle.
Brilliant essays demonstrate a strong knowledge of the facts as well as they provide a coherent discussion.
Here are two examples of two different essays made by two of our students of Year 12: Aitor Rodríguez and Ignacio Sánchez.

What could we do to reduce pollution in large cities?
To begin with, pollution has been increasing exponentially all over
the world. Overpopulation has created bigger cities, cars and other sources of
pollution.
On the one hand, big cities are becoming better organized places
where life is now easier than ever. Public transport, clean streets..... All
kinds of public services and facilities are making the cities great.
On the other hand, crowded malls, traffic jams and big factories
keep polluting the air and keep growing bigger to satisfy the market's demand.
In conclusion, governments should focus on preserving forests,
investing in new cleaning energies and improving our recycling system, but also
controlling the constructions of polluting car companies and other businesses
that are harming the environment.

Should a large amount of money be invested in space travel?
I would like to begin by saying that nowadays, we all know that
people need money more urgently than scientific research.
As we can see on the news and even on our own lives, people lose all
their money, their houses, jobs... In my opinion, scientific research, such as
on space travels, is something optional to human society. Money should be
invested in it only when we make sure that almost every human being on earth,
has all the basic things like food, a house, medical attention....
Human beings need to learn more and more about future issues, but we
cannot forget the base that is society has, so I do not think that a lot of
money should be invested in space travel.
