Thank you for such useful information! Nowadays, writing is a very important and useful skill. You need it in any sphere, and it will for sure make you more competitive. And it's cool that there are so many different resources that can help you not only to improve that skills but also to finish the tasks you have. I can say my skills are pretty good, but still, sometimes I face problems when I have to write something. My last paper was so complicated, and I was lucky to find this essay about peer pressure a silent destroyer which helped me a lot, and after all, I finished it on time. I found that source by accident, but it was so helpful. It was actually the first time when I used such examples, but it's indeed a good thing to get help with writing.
