How to write an essay in one hour?

We Answered:

The most important thing I can think of to help is to first know the subject material inside out. What you should do is make an outline of all the materials and the most important parts about them, their characters, their actions, and what you might infer from that, and do that for each one, separately. Then, with that visible in front of you, figure out how each one of the input sources compares or contrasts (or whatever you suspect will be required, or could be required) with the others, go over it in your mind, and briefly generate a summary of what your thoughts are.

If you do such a thing as this, then you'll have cut down on a lot of potential anxiety, you'll have cut down the amount of brainstorming you might need to do, you'll have in mind a lot of what makes sense, and you'll be a lot calmer at the time of the exam, because it's been done by you before on the topic matter. You'll have a lot more time available during the time of the actual exam to work on the writing part itself, because you'll (hopefully) not be frozen in analysis paralysis on the thinking part about how to do it.

For future use, this sort of planning and thinking can work to your advantage in the job search market, when asked to explain your background and experience: you want to be able to give solidly reasoned responses to interview questions about what you know and don't know, and explain them without horrible stumbling. For introducing yourself and what you can do when searching for a job, what you need to do is what's referred to as an "elevator speech" which should be 2 minutes or less, goes over all the fine points, and is a good marketing tool. If you can do that with all of the literature you'll be tested on, you'll be far ahead of everyone else, and the exam will mostly be a simple brain dump, which is exactly the level of difficulty you want to have while you're under great stress :)

How do you write an opinionated 5 paragraph essay?

We Answered:

You need to have a point in each of the body paragraphs that supports your stance. Let's say you go with "it's better to be feared."

I'd start with a concession to the opposition - acknowledge that it's good to be loved - and then have two reasons why it's better to be feared.

E.g.
Thesis: While it's often pleasant for society and leader when the ruler is beloved, in the long run, it is better if the leader is feared.
Body Paragraph One: It's good for a leader to be loved.
- illustrate with examples of beloved leaders and what they could do
Body Paragraph Two: It's better to be feared because it's easier to ensure stability within your society.
- illustrate with examples
Body Paragraph Three: It's better to be feared because it helps prevent attacks from outside.
- illustrate with examples

In an essay you need an introduction, body and a conclusion.
An outline is the basic info of what you would write about in those paragraphs.

1. Uniforms i think NNONONONOONONOONNONONONONON
Pros- never have to worry about what to wear each day, good to keep track of people for example on field trips, keeps pictures nice and matching,
Cons- doesn't allow students to express themselves, people like to wear Their Own idea of clothing, not someone else's, it is costly to buy, wash, and replace uniforms each year, they are boring, they don't fit everyone right/ comfortably, wont you like to wear your own clothes????

2. Student Housing i think they choose if they want to live in student housing
pros- gives them a nice, simple place to stay so your away from nagging or embarassing parents, privacy (sort of), a new enviroment to work in, being near people that understand you
cons- most of the time you have to share, can't break things, or have to pay for it, pay sometimes for it, small place, no choosing a roommate,

heres my example it is on political, economical, and social impacts of WWI and is called a thesis...

In America during World War I, not only were the lives of people living around the world destroyed or severely impacted over injuries and death, the political, economical, and social worlds were also affected. Usually when one might think of WWI, they might think of battles, death, and Germany; but, these, were the more "popular" details that went on. These other three topics were of great importance to how the people then lived and how America is today. All of WWI has influence the way we live today, including the impact of the political, economical, and social status of this day and age.

If your topic were say, the Middle East Conflict...
First you need to decide on the Main Points: (this is brainstorm...so don't use it)
I. Ancient Conflict Causal Roots
