Abstract: The undertaking of this study is to identify secondary level students’ essay writing difficulty in Bangla as the first language and to suggest ways of solving those problems. The study was carried out among the Students, Teachers’ of a Co-Educational school of Bangladesh. In this research, the design used is descriptive with qualitative research method. A sample of 30Bangla language students was chosen by means of a random non-probability sampling procedure. The students of selected school were instructed to write a descriptive composition of about 650 -750 words on the topic “Amar Niz Gram“(My Own village). The students’ essays were evaluated two times by 2 Bangla language teachers. The goal was to make outthe inaccuracy and error made by the learners. The findings exposed that those secondary level learners have a variety of difficulties in essay writing: language difficulties at the stage of syntax; procedural error, and unconscious mechanical errors such as spelling, punctuation and incomplete sentence, lack of writing expansion skills and cognitive problems. A number of suggestions have been made in accordance with the findings of the research: It would be constantly supportive to tell pupils to rework on their written effort. The natural pauses while speaking would help them in appropriate punctuation usage. The mistakes associated with spelling could be corrected by means of dictionaries or spellcheckers. Usage mistakes and grammar mistakes will eventually disappear, if the students read the texts of various sources like books, articles, journals, newspapers, etc. extensively (better to put in solution section).
