A simple style of writing an essay




Essay writing has always be an activity that is constantly viewed as a burden by many high school and college students.  Sometimes, the best of students suffer with poor grades due to poor technique in putting their words together.  I had learnt a simple technique that I believe can help persons in writing good essays using a basic principle.

 

 An essay is usually in three sections.   The first section is called the Introduction. This consists of introductory sentences that have several important points. Here is an example of  points about a  car; The has one steering wheel, four tires and two headlamps (these points will be used later).  The second section is called the Body. This section is used to give additional information on each point.  By using the points in the introduction, each point becomes a paragraph within the body.  It means that the point on the steering wheel can become a paragraph; the point on the tires can also be another paragraph, which means that the final point will be on the headlamps.  In other words, the body can have several paragraphs. The more information you have for each point, the longer the paragraph.


The final section called the Conclusion summarizes the essay. This forms a nice ending to your work, making it complete (summary about the car would be nice here). It is useful for one to have a good grasp of the language before writing any paper.  Also, it is good to have knowledge of the topics that you write about!  When the essay is complete, please read over the work to ensure transitions, good content development/presentation of information and good use of vocabulary. It is good to use language to match the audience you are targeting thus keeping them interested while they read. 


Happy writing!
