Wordy is worse

Students are also worried about their long assignments. When they are given papers more than 4 pages, they always think that would be too long for them. To finish long essays, people like to repeat things again and again to fill up the papers. That makes papers boring. To write a long essay, what students should do is to expand their theses instead of repeating. As a result, instructors always expect their students to tighten their wordy senntences. That helps to give more information because readers can understand in shorter time. Instuctors can also see the improvement students have made through the tighten wordy sentences.
