That's one way, perhaps not the best way. Okay, not the best way. Here's the thing; like most students, you are probably looking at writing this essay as an alien activity. It isn't. The only potentially alien part of this essay is writing it in another language. But, even that isn't so alien.

Take a short walk with me here, and we'll see if we can't get you through this.

First, the essay part--we'll get to the in French part of it in a moment. You write essays every day. No, don't debate it, you do; you just don't realize that you do. You have talked to others about your favorite sport, perhaps almost daily. Each time you do this, it is an essay, or at least part of an essay. While you are not writing it on paper, you are writing it on air. The medium in which it exists is the only difference (other than some minor format or style vagaries).

So, we are getting to the in French part. There are a couple ways you can do this. One is sort of backward, but it will work. It will require a bit more work, but it should be effective. That way is to write the essay in English, and translate it a sentence at a time. This breaks it down into bite-sized pieces. Just write the whole essay before you translate it. The second way sort of addresses the whole point learning another language. Write the essay in French. Only, do yourself a favor, tell it in French first. That's write, tell someone the story of your favorite sport in French. Whether or not you actually have someone you can tell the story to, record it. Go old school and tell your story into a cassette recorder (there is probably one available in your school library). Once you have the tape, transcribe it to paper. Once you have it on paper, you can edit it as you need to.

What you need to do here is change your perspective regarding the task ahead of you. Look at it for what it is, telling someone about something that is important to you. Do that and you will find just how much easier it gets to do.
