I simply can't write strong essays. The only reason I can think of is that I don't have enough general knowledge. That and even when I know a little about something relevant to the essay topic, I end up by giving up because I tell myself that my knowledge is way too "general" and can only generate weak arguments. Am I somehow lacking something, or is it an impression? Does the weakness comes from my inability to plan essays or my plain lack of knowledge?

Join the Impromptu section of a debate team and you'll get better.

Is it getting the ball rolling that's hard for you or is it describing the subject clearly?
