5 Easy Tips for Writing an Essay
2
1) Create a Word Bank
This is an interesting approach to writing your
essay. First, choose a topic and write a thesis.
A thesis is the main argument of your essay. For
instance, if your topic is reading, your thesis
might be Reading makes you smarter.
Once you have a thesis, think about your main
topic and find words that relate to it in
different ways. Then, branch out (broaden,
diversify) your list to words that arent as
closely related to your main topic.
For the example above, your primary list might
include words like books, reading and
intelligent. Your other branched out list
might include Harry Potter, reading by a fire
or test scores.

2) Act Like a Reporter
When you are first assigned the topic, go ahead
and really explore the possible options for your
thesis. Ask questions. Get curious. The more
questions you ask before you start writing, the
more information you will have to use in the
essay.
A strong essay is one that covers a lot of
content in a succinct (short, to-the-point) way.
This process of acting like a reporter will give
you valuable quotes, resources and vocabulary to
begin the writing process.
For instance, if youre writing about a new diet
plan, you might ask questions like, Who is the
best candidate for this diet plan?, How can
someone get started? and What is the hardest
part of this plan?

3) Make Topic Sentences
A topic sentence is the first sentence in a
paragraph, and it summarizes the rest of the
paragraph. You can create them first to help you
stay on track when writing your essay.
For the thesis Reading makes you smarter, one
paragraphs topic sentence might be, Newspapers
make you more aware of current events. Another
paragraphs topic sentence could be, Reading
plays and classic literature will make you more
cultured.
If youre writing about the three main issues
facing writers today, you could write three full
sentences that each address one main issue. Set
these aside. Then, when you start writing the
essay, refer to your topic sentences to create a
solid structure that begins at point A and ends
at point C.

4) Combine and Separate Sentences
Once the essay is written, go back through the
writing to find any sentences that seem too long
or wordy. Break these into two or more sentences
For example, the following sentence is too long,
which makes it unclear If you want to write in
another language, you need to practice writing in
creative ways, like writing on a blog, writing
fun poems or texting a friend who speaks the
language youre learning every day.
Instead, you could write it as two clearer
sentences (with less repetition of the word
writing) If you want to write in another
language, you need to practice in creative ways
every day. For example, you could start a blog,
create fun poems or text a friend.

Do the opposite with sentences you find too
short.Also, look for sentences that are very
closely related to one another. If two sentences
seem like the thoughts are connected, you can
combine them with a semicolon ( ).
For example, the following sentences are very
closely related Learning to write in another
language can be really difficult, especially when
youre first getting started. Thats why it helps
to practice every day.
Thats why you could write it this wayLearning
to write in another language can be really
difficult, especially when youre first getting
started daily practice is helpful.

5) Review the Whole Essay if needed then Rewrite
it
Once you and your friend have both reviewed your
essay and marked any mistakes, rewrite the whole
thing. This step is important. Just noting that
you made some mistakes will not help you learn
how to avoid them in the future.
By rewriting the essay with the corrections in
mind, you will teach yourself how to write those
sections properly. You will create a memory of
using proper grammar or spelling a word
correctly. So, you will be more likely to write
it correctly next time.
