An essay is composed of several paragraphs, as few as two or as many as necessary, all in support of an idea or a series of related ideas. The essay gives the writer an opportunity to explore a topic fully and to express ideas and feelings completely. There are basic types of essays: Narration( tells a story), Description (shows the reader some object), Exposition (explains the writer’s views), and Persuasion ( convinces the reader to accept the writer s ideas). Also we can distinguish basic types of writing. It can help you to find your way.
The thesis statement is a generalization which an essay supports, develops, illustrates and explains. Every word, sentence, and idea in the essay must support the thesis statements. This is why it is important to write with a focus. The thesis statement is to the essay as the topic sentence is to the paragraph. The topic states the general topic or subject.
Before starting the actual writing process it is important to keep all your thoughts organizes. This is where the outline comes in. An outline provides a road map to follow as you write, which minimizes your chances of getting lost or unorganized. There are the scratch outline which is the most informal method of outlining, the topic sentence outline which lists the topic sentences that would appear in the body of your essay, the topic outline that differs from the topic sentence outline. It is not written in complete sentences, rather it presents it s information in words or phrases. The sentence outline is a good indicator of the relationship between ideas and paragraphs and of the approximate length of an essay.
Another way to add unity and coherence to a work is little tile. Keep your title short, interest your reader to discover your essay and find out exactly what the title means. Make the title related to the essay or it’s thesis and sure you need to place it on the title page. This is a process that must be followed and remembered.
