i need some help on writing good essays. how do u write good essays?

We Answered:

Introduction: introduce all your topics in the order that you'll put them in the essay. Make a statement answering the question but don't go into too much detail

Paragraphs:
Topic sentence (first sentence) must introduce what you will talk about in the paragraph. After that, give the evidence but make sure to keep reminding the audience how it supports your argument. It's no use putting in all this great evidence, one point after the other, if the audience has no idea how it fits into the essay. To end the paragraph, relate back to the question (remind the reader what you're arguing). Use a 'therefore' or 'and so' statement to do this.

Conclusion: Start your conclusion by reminding the reader what you're arguing (again!). Next, give a brief summary of your main points, however beware of making this into a list. Finally, end in a strong statement that answers the question decisively.

When you're writing an essay, don't fall into the trap of explaining events to the reader, you end up reciting the history/plot etc without arguing your case. Pretend the reader knows as much as you do about your topic and just tell them how it proves your point.

Hope it helps :)

Can anyone give me some tips on writing good essays?

We Answered:

I love essays! What's the topic?....

Whatever the topic, start with brainstorming about that topic...Then figure out what is required eg. is it a question you need to answer like what, where, when, how, why? or is it explorative like describe/illustrate/demonstrate or is it comparative/argumentative like the positives and negatives of the topic.

Once you've figured this out, you will then write a plan of 'attack' if you will as to how you're going to write your essay. eg. for argumentative/comparative, start with identifying what the topic is, then what the purpose of the essay is, then what you will prove or what view you will conclude with. This is called your 'opening statement'. It should only take a paragraph, two at the most, but it really depends on how long your essay is required to be.

Anyway, in the 'body' of your essay, you should separate the topics/views/aspects of your topic in different/separate paragraphs and as much as possible, in some form of order so that it is easier to ease into the conclusion/summation of your essay.

Then in the conclusion/summation of your essay, recap in summarised version
