ESSAY WRITING :
 Did you know the word ‘essay’ is derived
from a Latin word ‘exagium’, which
roughly translates to presenting one’s
case? So essays are a short piece of
writing representing one’s side of the
argument or one’s experiences, stories,
etc. Essays are very personalized. So let us
learn about types of essays, format, and
tips for essay-writing.
HOW WE CAN WRITE AN
EFFECTIVE ESSAY???
 Pick a topic. You may have your topic assigned,
or you may be given free reign to write on the
subject of your choice. ...
 Prepare an outline or diagram of your ideas. ...
 Write your thesis statement. ...
 Write the body. ...
 Write the introduction. ...
 Write the conclusion. ...
 Add the finishing touches.
PICK A TOPIC :
 You may have your topic assigned, or you may be
given free reign to write on the subject of your
choice. If you are given the topic, you should
think about the type of paper that you want to
produce. Should it be a general overview of the
subject or a specific analysis? Narrow your focus
if necessary. If you have not been assigned a
topic, you have a little more work to do.
However, this opportunity also gives you the
advantage to choose a subject that is interesting
or relevant to you. First, define your purpose. Is
your essay to inform or persuade?
PREPARE AN OUTLINE OR
DIAGRAM OF YOUR IDEAS :
 In order to write a successful essay, you
must organize your thoughts. By taking
what’s already in your head and putting it
to paper, you are able to see connections
and links between ideas more clearly. This
structure serves as a foundation for your
paper. Use either an outline or a diagram
to jot down your ideas and organize them.
WRITE YOUR THESIS STATEMENTS :

 Now that you have chosen a topic and sorted your

ideas into relevant categories, you must create a thesis
statement. Your thesis statement tells the reader the
point of your essay. Look at your outline or diagram.
What are the main ideas? Your thesis statement will
have two parts. The first part states the topic, and the
second part states the point of the essay. For instance,
if you were writing about Bill Clinton and his impact
on the United States, an appropriate thesis statement
would be, “Bill Clinton has impacted the future of our
country through his two consecutive terms as United
States President.”
WRITE THE BODY :
The body of your essay argues, explains or describes
your topic. Each main idea that you wrote in your
diagram or outline will become a separate section
within the body of your essay. Each body paragraph
will have the same basic structure. Begin by writing
one of your main ideas as the introductory sentence.
Next, write each of your supporting ideas in sentence
format, but leave three or four lines in between each
point to come back and give detailed examples to back
up your position. Fill in these spaces with relative
information that will help link smaller ideas together.
WRITE THE CONCLUSION :

Now that you have developed your thesis and

the overall body of your essay, you must write an
introduction. The introduction should attract the
reader’s attention and show the focus of your
essay. Begin with an attention grabber. You can
use shocking information, dialogue, a story, a
quote, or a simple summary of your topic.
Whichever angle you choose, make sure that it
ties in with your thesis statement, which will be
included as the last sentence of your
introduction.
ADD THE FINISING TOUCHES :
After writing your conclusion, you might think that you
have completed your essay. Wrong. Before you
consider this a finished work, you must pay attention
to all the small details. Check the order of your
paragraphs. Your strongest points should be the first
and last paragraphs within the body, with the others
falling in the middle. Also, make sure that your
paragraph order makes sense. If your essay is
describing a process, such as how to make a great
chocolate cake, make sure that your paragraphs fall in
the correct order.
REVIEWS :
 Finally , Review what you have written .
Read your essay and check if it makes
sence . Make sure that sentences flow is
smooth and pdrases to help connect
thoughts or ideas . Check your essay for
grammer or sepllings mistakes.
