Over here we are going to discuss some basic guidelines which can be adapted
to write a good essay. So let us start!
Understand the Title
Before doing anything the most important part is to understand what exactly
the title of given essay is? This is the most basic ingredient of writing an
essay. There are always great chances that an individual has written a great
essay but he might fail to achieve good grades because what he wrote was not
according to the title. There is also a possibility that the title has demanded
something else to be written on the same topic, but mistakenly another aspect
of the same topic has been discussed in the essay.
Brainstorming is the Key
After the title has been clearly understood, comes in the next phase. And
this is the phase to orally think of the ideas. What should I write in my
essay? This is a phase where brainstorming is useful. Brainstorming with friends,
seniors or with any family member can help to generate more and more ideas. A
general problem which has been observed that students sometimes have many ideas
and they are confused what ideas should be put in. Either one idea should be
used or all the ideas should be used? At this confusing stage the best way is
to narrow down the ideas one by one. Soon an individual will be left only with
those ideas which are linked with the topic and are very precise. Instead of
doing this task orally it is better to note down all the ideas and eliminating
the irrelevant ideas on paper so that it is assured that no relevant has been
left out.
