What is an essay?

An essay is a short piece of writing which is often written from an author's personal point of view.

Essays can consist of a few elements e.g. literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author.

Starting steps:

  1. Decide on topic.
  2. Prepare an outline/brain-map of ideas
  3. Start writing in rough:
  4. BEGINNING - Decide on your MAIN statement / INTRODUCTION
  5. MIDDLE / BODY of the essay: - Jot down the main points & expand on main point and add subpoints.
  6. CONCLUSION - Final summing up.
  7. Re-write for your final production and check spelling.
