How To Write A Good Essay

Alicia Said:

how can i write a good essay on how carpool helps to save fuel?

We Answered:

Here's a list of what I can think of:

-The obvious answer is that one car used by a lot of people saves fuel because if everyone drove separate, then many cars would be driving on the road at the same times and that means the total amount of fuel being used is greater in a certain amount of time but you knew that.

-A big one is because when people carpool, there's less traffic. When there's less traffic, there's less slowing down and stopping which wastes fuel. Driving smoothly and at a constant speed save a lot of fuel. That's why they created carpool lanes and carpool parking. It's to encourage carpooling which makes less traffic.

-A carpool lane can be utilized. In a carpool lane, a car can move more freely so with traffic, you don't have to slowdown or stop as often on the freeway and slowing down and stopping wastes more fuel. You drive fast and constant and that saves the most fuel.

-If a person has a hybrid or a very fuel efficient car and a bunch of people carpooled in that car, then much more fuel is saved.

-Some parking lots have carpool only parking which saves fuel because then you don't have to drive around everywhere to find parking. Even if there is no carpool only parking lots, more cars equals less available parking lots because they are taken by all the cars which then equals more driving around wasting fuel to find a parking spot.

-Less chance of getting lost. The more people you have, the better chance of someone knowing where to go and getting lost wastes a whole lot of fuel.

I'm sure I can think of more so just ask if you need anymore.

The carpool ideas would make a great piece of an essay especially because they are separate ideas that are all related.

How do i write a good Essay?

We Answered:

1. Research: Begin the essay writing process by researching your topic, making yourself an expert. Utilize the internet, the academic databases, and the library. Take notes and immerse yourself in the words of great thinkers.

2. Analysis: Now that you have a good knowledge base, start analyzing the arguments of the essays you're reading. Clearly define the claims, write out the reasons, the evidence. Look for weaknesses of logic, and also strengths. Learning how to write an essay begins by learning how to analyze essays written by others.

3. Brainstorming: Your essay will require insight of your own, genuine essay-writing brilliance. Ask yourself a dozen questions and answer them. Meditate with a pen in your hand. Take walks and think and think until you come up with original insights to write about.

4. Thesis: Pick your best idea and pin it down in a clear assertion that you can write your entire essay around. Your thesis is your main point, summed up in a concise sentence that lets the reader know where you're going, and why. It's practically impossible to write a good essay without a clear thesis.

5. Outline: Sketch out your essay before straightway writing it out. Use one-line sentences to describe paragraphs, and bullet points to describe what each paragraph will contain. Play with the essay's order. Map out the structure of your argument, and make sure each paragraph is unified.

6. Introduction: Now sit down and write the essay. The introduction should grab the reader's attention, set up the issue, and lead in to your thesis. Your intro is merely a buildup of the issue, a stage of bringing your reader into the essay's argument.

(Note: The title and first paragraph are probably the most important elements in your essay. This is an essay-writing point that doesn't always sink in within the context of the classroom. In the first paragraph you either hook the reader's interest or lose it. Of course your teacher, who's getting paid to teach you how to write an essay, will read the essay you've written regardless, but in the real world, readers make up their minds about whether or not to read your essay by glancing at the title alone.)

7. Paragraphs: Each individual paragraph should be focused on a single idea that supports your thesis. Begin paragraphs with topic sentences, support assertions with evidence, and expound your ideas in the clearest, most sensible way you can. Speak to your reader as if he or she were sitting in front of you. In other words, instead of writing the essay, try talking the essay.

8. Conclusion: Gracefully exit your essay by making a quick wrap-up sentence, and then end on some memorable thought, perhaps a quotation, or an interesting twist of logic, or some call to action. Is there something you want the reader to walk away and do? Let him or her know exactly what.

9. MLA Style: Format your essay according to the correct guidelines for citation. All borrowed ideas and quotations should be correctly cited in the body of your text, followed up with a Works Cited (references) page listing the details of your sources.

10. Language: You're not done writing your essay until you've polished your language by correcting the grammar, making sentences flow, incorporating rhythm, emphasis, adjusting the formality, giving it a level-headed tone, and making other intuitive edits. Proofread until it reads just how you want it to sound. Writing an essay can be tedious, but you don't want to bungle the hours of conceptual work you've put into writing your essay by leaving a few slippy misppallings and pourly wordedd phrazies..

How do you write a good essay if you have never written one before?

We Answered:

I'm guessing your in the US, but here in England when we apply for colleges we have to write a personal statment about ourselves and why we want to apply. i know this isnt exactly what you're doing but if you look online i'm sure they will help as they're basically letters/essays selling yourself to people.

i used this link to help me do mine, i hope it will work and hopefully give you some ideas :)

how to write good essay?

We Answered:

easy. 5 paragraphs.
1. introduction -state your thesis. introduce all the ideas you plan to discuss in your paper.
2-4 body-- discuss a separate idea in each paragraph
5. conclusion- summarize all of your ideas and state how you have proven your thesis.
(please don't ever start your 5th paragraph with "in conclusion" or any variation of it. it's really cheesy!)
Hope this helps!
