issue. This will be your focus as we go along with our topic.
What is an Essay?
The word essay is defined as a piece of writing, usually from the author’s
personal point of view, on a particular subject or issue. Essays are non-fictional but
often subjective and can also include narrative. Writing an essay means fashioning
a coherent set of ideas into an argument. Because essays are essentially linear—
they offer one idea at a time—they must present their ideas in the order that
makes most sense to a reader. Successfully structuring an essay means attending
to a reader's logic. The focus of such an essay predicts its structure. It dictates the
information readers need to know and the order in which they need to receive it.
Thus, your essay's structure is necessarily unique to the main claim you are
making.
Craft essay is done through freewriting, expressing ones ideas and

interpretations of a situation.
Here’s an example:
The Importance of Reading
Reading is one of the most important activities a person can engage in. It is
not only a way to gain knowledge but also a way to improve imagination, language
skills, and emotional understanding. Whether it is fiction, nonfiction, or
newspapers, reading plays a key role in personal development and education.
First, reading helps expand our knowledge. Books, articles, and other
written materials provide information on a wide range of subjects. By reading, we
learn about history, science, different cultures, and the world around us. This
knowledge helps us make informed decisions and understand the perspectives of
others. The more we read, the more we become aware of the different ideas and
viewpoints that shape the world.
Second, reading enhances our language skills. It improves vocabulary,

grammar, and writing ability. When we read books, we are exposed to new words
and phrases that we may not use in everyday conversation. This exposure helps
us express ourselves more clearly and effectively. Additionally, reading regularly
helps improve our comprehension skills, making it easier to understand complex
ideas and information.
Lastly, reading fosters empathy and emotional intelligence. When we read

stories, especially fiction, we put ourselves in the shoes of the characters. This
helps us understand different emotions, situations, and experiences. As we follow
characters through their journeys, we learn to better understand and relate to the
feelings and challenges of others in real life.
In conclusion, reading is an essential activity that benefits us in many ways.

It broadens our knowledge, improves our language skills, and helps us develop
empathy. By making reading a habit, we can grow intellectually and emotionally,
and better connect with the world around us.
Parts of an Essay
Introduction
The introduction guides your reader into the paper by introducing the topic.
should begin with a hook that catches the reader’s interest. This hook could be
quote, an analogy, a question, etc. After getting the reader’s attention, the
introduction should give some background information on the topic. The ideas
within the introduction should be general enough for the reader to understand the
main claim and gradually become more specific to lead into the thesis statement.
 Thesis Statement
The thesis statement concisely and clearly states the main idea or
argument of the essay, sets limits on the topic, and can indicate the organization
of the essay. The thesis works as a road map for the entire essay, showing the
readers what you have to say and which main points you will use to support your
ideas.
Body
The body of the essay supports the main points presented in the thesis and
should be orderly. Each point is developed by one or more paragraphs and
supported with specific details. These details can include support from research
and experiences. In addition to this support, the author’s own analysis and
discussion of the topic ties ideas together and draws conclusions that support the
thesis. The body must present strong arguments or evidences to be more
convincing.
 Transitions
Transitions connect paragraphs to each other and to the thesis. They are
used within and between paragraphs to help the paper flow from one topic to the
next. These transitions can be one or two words (“first,” “next,” “in addition,” etc.)
or one or two sentences that bring the reader to the next main point. The topic
sentence of a paragraph often serves as a transition.
Conclusion
The conclusion brings together all the main points of the essay. It refers
back to the thesis statement and leaves readers with a final thought and sense of
closure by resolving any ideas brought up in the essay. It may also address the
implications of the argument clearly. In the conclusion, new topics or ideas that
were not developed in the paper should not be introduced. Again, conclusion
should restate the thesis statement and must have a closure.

What is a Blog?
A blog (a shortened version of “weblog”) is a regularly updated website

or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is
written in an informal or conversational style. It is a platform where a
writer or a group of writers share their views on an individual subject. Similarly, it
is a term used to describe websites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of
information. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other
websites, usually presented as a list of entries in reverse chronological order. Blogs
range from the personal to the political and can focus on one narrow subject or a
whole range of subjects.
Here are common features that a typical blog will include:
 Header with the menu or navigation bar.

 Main content area with highlighted or latest blog posts.
 Sidebar with social profiles, favorite content, or call-to-action.
 Footer with relevant links like a disclaimer, privacy policy, contact page,
etc.
What is the purpose of a blog?

There are many reasons to start a blog for personal use and only a handful
of strong ones for business blogging. Without blogging, your website would remain
invisible, whereas running a blog makes you searchable and competitive. So, the
main purpose of a blog is to connect you to the relevant audience. Another one is
to boost your circulation and send quality leads to your website. The more
frequent and better your blog posts are, the higher the chances for your website
to get discovered and visited by your target audience. This means that a blog is an
effective lead generation tool.
What is a website?
A site or website is a central location of web pages that are related and
accessed by visiting the home page of the website using a browser. For example,
the Computer Hope website address URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is
https://www.computerhope.com. From this home page, you could get access to
any of the web pages contained on its website.
What differentiates blogs from websites?

Blogs need frequent updates. Good examples of this include a food blog
sharing meal recipes or a company writing about their industry news. Blogs also
promote reader engagement. Readers have a chance to comment and voice their
different concerns and thoughts to the community. On the other hand, websites
consist of the content presented on static pages. Static website owners rarely
update their pages. Blog owners update their site with new blog posts on a regular
basis.
