How to Avoid Theme Escape in ENEM Writing

Writing the National High School Exam (ENEM) is one of the most challenging parts of the exam. One of the biggest difficulties faced by candidates is to stay focused on the proposed topic. Leaving the topic behind can lead to a zero grade in the essay, which can seriously compromise the candidate's final grade. Therefore, understanding how to avoid getting off topic is essential to ensure successful writing.

Understand the Theme

The first and most important step to avoid getting off topic is to fully understand what is being asked. Read the statement and supporting texts carefully. Don't be afraid to spend some time on this step. It's better to fully understand the topic before you start writing than to realize you've strayed from the topic mid-writing.

Plan Your Writing

Once you understand the topic, plan your essay. Make an outline of how you will develop your ideas. Not only will this help keep your text organized, but it will also keep you from getting off topic.

Stay Focused

While writing, stay focused on the topic. Avoid entering unnecessary information that does not contribute to the development of the theme. Remember that each paragraph should have a clear purpose and be related to the topic.

Proofread Your Text

After you finish writing, proofread your text. Make sure all your ideas are related to the topic. If you find any paragraphs or sentences that are not directly related to the topic, please consider removing or rewriting them.

Practice

Finally, practice is the key to avoiding getting off topic. The more essays you write, the better you will be at staying focused on the topic. Practice writing essays on a variety of topics, and always proofread your work to ensure you're not straying from the topic.

In conclusion, avoiding the subject in the ENEM essay is essential to obtain a good grade. Understanding the topic, planning your writing, staying focused, revising your text, and practicing are all important steps to ensure you stay on topic. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep writing and revising to improve your writing skills.
