How to
write an essay:
The first paragraph of an essay consists
of the introduction. In the introduction you tell people what you will be
telling them about in the essay. The body of the essay consists of several
paragraphs in which you state the different points you want to convey (each in
its own paragraph). You will state the facts of each point and explain them in
the body. The last part of the essay is the conclusion. In the conclusion you
will summarise the supporting information and show how you reached your
conclusion. In short, remember: In the introduction you tell people what you
are going to tell them. In the body, you tell them. Then in the conclusion, you
tell them what you have told them!
Make use of these tips:
·
Once
you have a topic, prepare an outline of ideas to include in your essay.
·
You
will be responsible for supplying facts in your essay, so ensure that your
facts are correct.
·
Use
your own words to explain the facts in your essay; don’t just copy them out of
the content you have read.
·
Use
examples to explain what you mean, if necessary.
·
Use
appropriate terminology and avoid using slang.
·
Be
concise and relevant.
·
Every
paragraph should answer the question asked.
·
Pay
attention to your grammar usage and spelling in the essay.
