One rainy lunch time, me and my friends decided, that we should get together and write up a template on how to write an essay, I was always really bad at writing essays and usually got bad marks for them, mainly C’s and the odd B. After following this template I started seeing my marks slowly go up, from B- to A- and now I get A’s and A+.

Trust me if you use this template and follow it to the tee, you will see your marks go up. This template is not just for grade school students but can be used for uni students as well. My friends brother (a uni student) uses this and gets very good marks.

Introduction
- One Paragraph.
- Answers the question.
- Outlines topics to be discussed (only a summary).

Body
- Divided into separate paragraphs (not too long but no to short either).
- Each paragraph on a topic.
- Each topics (or paragraph) arranged in logical order.
- Each paragraph to:
o Begin with a topic sentence (linking to the question).
o End with reference to the question.
o Contain facts and evidence to support your arguments/ theories.
o Each paragraph should be relevant.

Conclusion

- One paragraph.
- Summarise main points.
- Emphasise your conclusions

-~Important DO NOT’s~-

o DO NOT use first person perspective. (e.g. ‘I” or ‘my’).
o DO NOT write about anything you feel like (answer the question).
o DO NOT use colloquial language (slang, informal language).

-~Things To Remember~-

o It is important to Answer the question briefly in the first paragraph,
o Answer or relate to the question in each paragraph.
o Only talk about the question you are asked.

I hope this will help you improve your marks and make it easier to write your essays, if there is anything else that you think I need to include please leave a comment.

Very good break down and a nice bit of formatting on the op too. Dead useful info I might just use this for my next op, printing it out now :)
