Super and informative video, but ive just got 1 question though, how conversational can I get in the essay? My current draft sounded too diary/story like, so i made another (on the same idea) that was more in line with the example essays i found online, but it sounded so disjointed and impersonal. Do u have any advice for this? thx again for the help!
