<p>is it better to go straight to the point,like '' Success always becomes disastrous to us if we do not use it properly.....blablabla.....''??????</p>

<p>Yes, it is better to be straight to the point. You only have 25 minutes to develop an essay and you can’t spend time describing the background of your argument. In fact, when I took a princetoon review prep course, one of the essay graders told me I spent too much time talking about background info and stuff and not enough analyzing/ connecting to thesis.</p>
