Rewrite the following piece of text, removing any vague or redundant language.

Following the completion of their first draft, overseas students from abroad often choose not to recognize the fact that their essay is in possession of an excessive number of words. For many, their usual habit is to avoid carrying out an evaluation of their work. The honest truth of the matter is that the majority of students do not proofread properly. Proofreading, on most occasions, is too brief in duration. Students do not want to edit their work in case they need to make their essay longer in length.
