HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY
- Think about the subject in hand for a few minutes and
try to understand what it moans. As you think over it you will find ideas
coming into your mind. As they come, Jot them down briefly on -a piece of
paper. Develop these ideas, making it neither too narrow nor too broad,
nor allowing your thoughts to wander away from the point.
- Prepare an outline for the essay by arranging the
ideas you have selected in their proper order. If the outline is given,
follow it up closely. Do not introduce matter not
- Include in it.
- An essay should always be subdivided into paragraphs.
A paragraph should deal with one main subject at a time, and not with more
than one.
- The introduction must be very brief. It may consist
of a single sentence or a very short paragraph. It must be relevant to the
subject.
- The conclusion should be as striking as the
beginning. It should be short and natural.
- Never use a word of which you do not understand the
meaning. A word wrongly used.
- Abstain from introducing hackneyed quotations from
poetry, which add nothing to the force of the composition and are too
stale to add anything to its attractiveness.
- Attend to grammar, idioms and punctuation. Use simple
words and short sentences.
