how to make a good essay

I learnt how to make an essay last semester in writing course and before we write an essay, we have to know parts of essay such as, thesis statement, topic, controlling idea and predictor. Topic is tells the readers what your essay is going to be about. While controlling idea is tells the readers what you want to say about the topic. Last is predictor, it named predictor because it predicts the number and the content of the essay paragraphs. Then, introductory, body, and concluding paragraph is the main part of making an essay.

First, we have to make introductory paragraph in the first paragraph of the essay. The introductory  consists of two parts, a few general statements about our subject to attract the reader’s attention and a thesis statement to state the specific subdivision of our topic or plan of our paper. It must be relevant to the topic, should not introduce material not covered in the essay. Introductory should be at least two sentences before the thesis statement or should be a minimum of three sentences. 

Second, the body is consists of one or more paragraph. Each paragraph develops a subdivision of our topic, so the number of paragraphs in the body will vary with the number of subdivisions or subtopics. The body is the longest part of the essay and can contain as many paragraphs as necessary to support the controlling ideas of our thesis statement. Clearly, the paragraph of the body of the essay are like the main supporting points in a single paragraph.

Finally, the last paragraph of the essay is concluding. This paragraph has a very important function in our essay and it consists of summary of the points made in our body paragraph. A concluding paragraph should never introduce new information about the topic of the essay. As a result, the concluding paragraph in an essay like the concluding sentence in a paragraph.

In summary, when we want to make an essay, first we have to do is making a good topic sentence to tell the readers what the essay is about. Then, introductory is the first part of essay as a purpose to get the reader’s attention and to introduce the subject of the essay to them. After the introductory there are one or more paragraph that called body paragraph. Its like the main supporting point in a single paragraph. The last part of essay is concluding paragraph. It is a summary or review of the main points discussed in the body. As long as we follow the rule of making essay then we will create a good essay.
