Following the General Format to Write an Essay

Is essay writing a task that is worth the hassle for you? You want to write an essay, but the writers’ block does not allow you to do that. So, you give up the essay writing process early on. Assignment writing is not a daunting task. Every essay follows the same format for writing that is, composed of the introduction, the main body, and conclusion. Here is how you should approach the task, essay writing:

 

  1. Introduction: The first and obvious thing that you need to come up with in an essay is its introduction. An essay introduction is usually composed of an attention grabber, background information, and thesis statement. An attention grabber can be a surprising fact or a joke or direct quote or a rhetorical question (use rhetorical question only if you are writing an informal essay). Once you have successfully introduced your essay with the attention grabber, you should spend some time coming up with the background information of an essay. The background information of an essay needs to be attractive. In the end of an essay, you will require a thesis statement; it should be strong, and it is the last sentence of an essay introduction.

 

  1. The Main Body: The main body of an essay should be comprised of the topic sentences, supporting sentences, transition sentences, evidences or examples or reasons. You should begin your each body paragraph with a topic sentence. Remember that topic sentence of your essay should be attractive. A supporting sentence should be followed by each topic sentence in the main body of an essay. You should utilize transition words like ‘likewise’ or ‘however’ or ‘moreover’ to link different body paragraphs of an essay. In the end of your each body paragraph, you should produce a strong reason or evidence or example to support your viewpoint about the topic.

 

  1. Conclusion: The conclusion of an essay is equally important as your introduction. In the first place, you need to summarize your findings in the conclusion of an essay; make sure you interpret the findings well. Secondly, you will need to restate the thesis statement of your essay in the conclusion of an essay. You must conclude your essay in a way that makes readers agree with your viewpoint about the topic on hand. One thing that you should keep in mind while finalizing an essay is the word count. 10% more or less word count is acceptable.
