write an essay

Hai and hello friends!

Today i want to share some knowledge that i get from Academic Skill class. Basically, we learnt same thing but in different ways. 

Since last week we learnt about how to write essay, so here some tips that I learnt. 

Basically, in essay writing it is important to have these three parts; introduction, body content and conclusion. For each part have another important points which are general statement and thesis statement in introductory paragraph, topic sentence, supporting details and concluding sentence in each body paragraph and summary of main points, restatement of thesis statement and concluding statements.

Writing an introductory part as simple and short can attract reader intention to read it. We can use any style of writing such as using situation or dialog related to the topic, using statistic or general information where it is give reader preview about the whole essay. The thesis statement is compulsory in introductory part which it is shall in complete sentences and it is prohibited to use question and thesis statement. This thesis statement will contain all the main idea for the essay.  It is good if we can write an interesting and catchy introduction.

In body part, it is containing our thesis statement that already state in introductory part. It will be our main idea. The main idea of the body part is not necessary to be at the first sentences, it may at any part. If we have more main idea stated in the thesis statement, it is mean that we will have more body paragraph. It is important to separate each of the main idea in the different paragraph to make in organized. Same paragraph have more than one main idea will cause lack of information for certain main idea or make the paragraph to long. It will cause reader felt bored to read it. Usually, we used five paragraph essays outline which three paragraphs for body and one for introduction and conclusion part.

To elaborate the main idea, supporting details is the sentences where it will give explanation more by provide examples, facts or description about the main idea. To make the body paragraph more organized, in sequence, we can use any transition marker such as nevertheless, accordingly, for example, next and many more. Lastly, complete it using concluding sentence at the end of each paragraph.

After state all the thesis statement in each body paragraph, conclude it in the conclusion part. Restate the thesis statement and we can put any suggestion, quotation relate with the topic as it gives a great impact to the reader. It should simple and short but concise. To show it is a conclusion paragraph, we can start with any discourse markers for conclusion such as in conclusion, in a nutshell, overall, in summary and to sum up. 

Knowledge is my companion, it is with me wherever I go. My heart is its container, not the bookshelf.
