Writing a research paper is to wrap up all kinds of stuffs relating to research including the concept of topic, research history, and own test results. Once we choose the research topic, we usually survey previous works or papers regarding our topic and try to find any immaturity in my research area. It is necessary to build and validate my theory which is to make up for the immaturity of my research area. Undoubtedly, there are many trial and errors in building and validating my own theory. By overcoming tough process, we can learn how to solve the problem and what the essence of my research is. In this point of view, since I am familiar with my research area, it is not difficult to write a research paper.
On the other hand, how about writing an academic essay? Frankly speaking, I am not used to write an essay since I don’t like to write a story. Especially, the topics which we are dealing with in the ESL class are beyond my concern and there are many unfamiliar nouns and definitions in the reading articles needed for writing. Also writing style in the essay is different that of research paper.
Although it is more difficult for me to write an essay than to write a research paper, I am sure that writing exercise can give me a chance to enhance my writing skill.

It is a bit hard for me to understand that a research paper for you is more easy to write. I personally don't have experience with both essay writing and research paper. However the thing I noticed from learning an year from an American university is that essays are more easy to write. The one time I tried to write a research paper I almost killed myself doing the process that you were talking about. To find what I think in a different persons paper is not that fun and interesting. But I managed to finish the paper, but the grades were a nightmare. It maybe, because we are in different fields of study, thus I am amazed by your point of view
