How to Write Essay



Most of us have been writing essays right from our childhood. Some of us may have really liked this, some would do it just because it is a part of our curriculum and others would just hate it. Regardless of what people think about essay writing, it is definitely fun at some point or the other. It depends on the kind of topic you choose.

If you want to write essays in a professional manner, you need to keep some rules in mind. These are rules that need to be followed when defining the body of an essay, the introduction, different paragraphs and closing. Most essays can range from five paragraphs and the others may go on and on to twenty pages or more depending on the requirement of the topic. An essay needs to be true to the topic. It must provide clear explanation on your point of view. A good essay writer will always make his essay look clear, informative and elucidate the points.

Here are some steps to follow when writing an essay :

A. Contest :

There are certain parameters of an essay that needs to be perfectly defined by you. These include the format of the title page and the length. Remember that an essay will not reach up to the mark if it fails to follow rules.

B. Settle for A Topic :

Usually a topic is decided by the writer. In case, it is not, try to opt for something that holds your interest. You need to have a passion for the subject you have chosen for essay writing.


C. Thesis Statement :

This is very important for essay writing. It is a statement that focuses on what you are trying to explain. Make sure that your thesis statement has it all. It should be impressive and packed with a punch!


D. Research on Information :

No matter how much knowledge you have about a specific subject, it is always good to have a clear view on what you are trying to explain. Try to collect a lot of information from various sources and then initiate the project. Do not ignore the points you do not agree with. Try to know more about them prior to reaching a final conclusion.

E. Plan :

This step starts with having a detailed look into whatever information you have gathered. Organize these according to your requirements and eliminate the one that needs to be ruled out according to you.

F. Body :

Focus on writing the body of the essay first. Each point you add need to be espoused with evidences, instances and arguments. Avoid ‘I statements’.


G. Summary :

This is to conclude your essay. You need to provide a compendium to each point and at last a final summary where you would be just putting everything that you have already said, in a nutshell.


H. Three R :

Read, revise and review are vital once your essay has seen the light of accomplishment. Read your piece of work again and again, revise for any point that you missed out on or added by mistake and finally get it reviewed for any spelling or grammatical errors. Also make sure that you make more than one person read your essay and get some remarks on it.

If essay writing is your hobby, you can earn a lot by making it a profession. Even if you have been an English article writer or native English writer, you can think of starting a career as an essay writer.
