Step 1: Time Division
Now, this is really important, often students do not bother to consider this factor but you should know how much time you are going to consume in your essay before starting.
Divide your time and tasks like these:
- Brainstorm the topic
- Think, Plan, Decide
- Writing
- Proof Reading
- Read and look for mistakes
- Correct your mistakes
Step 2 Introduction
Your introduction is the main ingredient of your essay recipe and normally students begin their essay with this step but what if we tell you not to do this!
Yes, here's a secret:
Start your essay by writing the inner and detailed part with extended discussions.
Step 3 Quotations
Gather and jot down some quotes that can fit inside your Paragraphs to defend your arguments and discussions. Writing quotes in your essay enhances your chances of securing a good grade.
Step 4 Inner Body (Paragraphs 1, 2, 3)
Write down your arguments by discussing your views in conflict with the question given. Add quotes and present a good opinion by supporting your views. Don't jumble your own ideas as they will look negative to the examiner. Complete your essay in paragraphs.
Step 5: Introduction II
Now is the time to go turn back to the introduction part of the essay. It is a good practice to first get a good idea of your arguments and then jump on to the introduction to make it precise. An introduction is written by addressing the question and paraphrasing what is being asked.
Step 6: Conclusion
Finally, jot down your thoughts in a nutshell. Simply conclude your essay's whole body in few words to finish your essay on a good note. Lastly, proofread, find out mistakes and correct them.
Pro-Tip:
If you do not grasp what is being asked in the question, take some time to understand the question. You can do this by marking some command words of the question. Hopefully, this will make things clear for you.
