Pro-Tips to create the perfect Essay

Do you dread essay writing? Are you looking for some essay tips that will help you write an amazing essay? Worry no more. Just follow these simple tips!!

First of all, I find that it's helpful to think of an essay as a burger: two buns (the introduction and conclusion) with other ingredients between them (the body paragraphs). A burger sans the top or bottom bun or filler ingredients isn't really a burger. Plus, it's kind of messy.

Now that you can picture 'The Essay Burger' lets get started:

Introduction:

• Start with a hook (I personally like to start with a quote but it can be a question, a statement or even some statistics)

• Talk briefly about the topic (just enough to provide a bit of context and set the stage for the latter part if the essay) you'll have a chance to elaborate in the body paras

• Add about 2-3 main statements that you'll be elaborating on in the forthcoming paras

Body Paragraphs:

The three body paragraphs each consist of

• A topic sentence, which are formed from the main statements (remember, this controls what you talk about in this para)

• Supporting sentences to further explain the topic sentence

• Details to buttress the supporting sentences (include key vocabulary and all relevant data like facts, statistical info etc)

Conclusion:

• A reworded/restructured thesis statement

• Summarized key points to reinforce all our ideas

• A final thought to make the reader think. (It can be in the form of a prediction, a recommendation, or even a question)

I’ve discovered that keeping these tips in mind has completely changed my writing process—and I hope that they can do the same for you. Happy Writing!!
