What Is Essay Writing? • Tips To Write a Fantastic Essay
What Is Essay Writing? Essay is a short piece of writing that tells a person's thoughts or opinions about a subject. Basically, essays test people on their knowledge of the particular subject matter, comprehension, and the ability to grasp the question and come up with a coherent, well-researched answered, with a dash of their opinion thrown in there for good measure. Also, they are a great way to gauge someone’s written language skills.
Tips To Write a Fantastic Essay • Do some extra work • Always write an outline • Stay on the point • Include both your research and your opinions • Think (and write) about the context • Incorporate citations and a bibliography • Proofread – and then proofread again
Do some extra work -Read a couple of other texts by the same author – how do author’s other works compare with the one you are writing about? Does the author touch on the same topic in those other works? Are the author’s texts and opinions consistent or contradictory? - Read texts by author’s contemporaries’ – how do they compare? Is the author’s writing in line with the spirit of the time; is he a forward thinker, or a nostalgic trapped in the past? - Read literary criticism – What are professionals saying about your set text? Has anyone’s opinion resonated with you, in particular, and why?
Always write an outline • It is important to have a sense of direction if you want to write a great essay. • Think long and hard about the points you want to cover and write down an outline. • Make sure you include an introduction, a chain of thought-out paragraphs that nudge the reader along towards an argument, and a conclusion in which you reiterate and summarize your points, and spell out your verdict.
Stay on the point Some questions are easier to answer than others and you might get tempted to take the easy way out. Don’t do it. People will easily recognize if you decide to dodge a particularly large bullet and just skim over it. Tackle the big issues, especially if you’ve been given a question to answer. Keep in mind that writing a brilliant essay that doesn’t answer the set question is an exercise in futility, especially if you’re a student and the essay is going to be graded.
