What is Essay? An essay is a short writing that topic is come from an author's personal point of view. It can be political pronouncement, observations of daily life, literary criticism, learned arguments and etc.
An essay is made up of 3 basic components as followings:-
- Introduction
- Body
- Conclusion
The first paragraph, introduction, will introduce the main topic of your essay and it ends with your main idea of the whole essay. The next part is body; it provides detailed support of your main idea. The last paragraph is the conclusion.
Normally, the last sentence of an introduction is the main idea of your essay. The body part, you need to give the detail which supports your above main idea. In order to give adequate information, you need to provide at least 2 to 3 paragraphs. It is made up of your sub point to your main idea; each sub point has its own paragraph.
For example
Introduction
- General idea and ends with main idea of this essay
Body
- Detailed support main idea (A)
- Detailed support main idea (B)
Conclusion
- Repeat your main idea and summary
Simply speaking, the body paragraphs are longer than the introduction and conclusion. Anyway, please be sure that each body paragraph contains only one main sub point. All ideas of each paragraph must fall under broaden main idea sentence.
Conclusions are the most difficult part of an essay to write. You need to keep in mind that the conclusion is often what a reader remembers the best. Your conclusion should be the best part of your essay. It should go straight to your main idea statement and give the sense of completeness. The last thing is to leave final impression on the reader.
