Despite the fact that Shakespeare said, “Pen is powerful with swords,” the pen itself is not enough to make an effective writer. In fact, although we all might like to think of ourselves as the next Shakespeare, motivation alone is not the key to effective essay writing.You see, the conference of English essays has more formula than you think – and, in many ways, it can be as simple as calculating five.

The introduction
The principle objective of introduction is to present your situation (it is also known as “thesis” or “argument” on this issue) but effective initial paragraphs are more than that. Before you can reach this thesis statement, for example, the essay should start with “hook” that captures the reader’s attention and wants to read it.

Only then, with the reader’s attention “bent”, you should go to the thesis. Thesis should be an obvious, one sentence explanation of your situation which leaves no doubt in the reader’s mind that in which aspect you are from the beginning of your essay.

After the thesis, you should provide a mini-profile which previews the examples that you will use to support own thesis in the rest of essays. Not only does the reader know what to expect in paragraphs, but it clearly understands what the essay is about.

The Body Paragraphs
The middle article of the essay is collectively known as body passages and as mentioned above, the main purpose of the body paragraph is to describe in detail the examples supporting your thesis.

For the first body paragraph, you should use your strongest argument or the most important example, unless some other explicit starting point (as in the case of chronological explanation) is necessary. The first sentence of this paragraph should be the subject line of the paragraph which is directly related to the examples listed in the mini-profile of the initial paragraph.

A sentence body paragraph that describes an example of “George Washington” or “LeBron James” is not enough. No, after this an effective essay will explain the reader to follow the subject, in detail, what is the example, and, most importantly, why this example is relevant

A word on transition
You might have noticed that the above paragraph is very closely aligned with the given framework, but one exception is: the first few words. These words are an example of a transitional phrase – the other includes “additionally,” “besides,” but “on the contrary” and “on the other side” – and is characteristic of good writing.

The Conclusion
Although the findings article comes at the end of your essay, it should not be seen as a consideration later. Since the last paragraph shows the last chance to make your case and, in this way, should follow a very harsh format.
One way to think about conclusions is, contradictory, as a second introduction, because in fact it involves many facilities. Although it does not need to be too long – four well-prepared sentences should be enough – it can be made or broken and can be essay.

Effective findings (“end,” “end,” etc.) with a conclusion and a hint for the “hook” used in the initial paragraph. After that you should repay your thesis statement immediately.

This should be the fourth or fifth time when you have repeated your thesis, while you should use different types of words in the body paragraphs, but use some (but not all) of the original language used in the introduction Have an acceptable idea.
