Structure of the essay
Normally, a five-paragraph structure makes sense for essays of about 1,000 to 2,000 words: the first and last paragraphs each take up 10 per cent, i.e. 150 words; the main body takes up 80 per cent of the essay, with each of three paragraphs taking up about 25 per cent of the text (i.e. 400 words); and each of four paragraphs taking up about 20 per cent of the text (i.e. 300 words).
Order of writing
When you start writing, it is recommended that you put Introduction and Conclusion at the end. This is because once you are deep into the writing process, it is often easy to deviate from the established ideas and frameworks, resulting in the concluding part of the thesis statement does not match the overall theme. Avoid the risk of mark deduction due to hasty submission of previously unadjusted or out-of-focus essays.
The importance of the body of the essay should not be overlooked! Specifically, the main body contains the following elements: topic sentence, example, analysis, and conclusion sentence. Keep in mind the four-sentence principle of inspiration:
1. The first sentence, the dominant idea. Appropriate guide words such as describe can be used to match, such as Despite the prevailing emphasis on…, we observe that…. , we observe that…..
2. second to third sentences, supporting arguments, are used to elaborate on a point of view or controversy expressed by a particular scholar.
3. fourth to fifth sentences, an analytical statement that gives a personal opinion or compares a previously cited controversy. If the point of view is made clear at the beginning of the paragraph, e.g., “So what kind of…”, the following paragraph can be written in the form of a “So what kind of…”. the next paragraph can be led by phrases such as “Additionally”, “Furthermore”, etc. The third paragraph can be led by the phrase “Hence”. The third paragraph can be led by words such as “Hence” for a continuation of the point.
Summarising is essential! Please note that all ideas and quotes covered here must summarise what has been discussed earlier, avoid new ideas or quotes beyond the scope of the prompt, and do not reproduce the original statements. The summary induction section is broadly divided into four main points:
1. in the first sentence, briefly review the core topic of the previous discussion. 2. in the second sentence, point out the existing literature.
2. the second sentence, pointing out the limitations of the existing literature
3. in the third sentence, link to the above and introduce the significance of the author’s personal research in order to justify the need for this study.
4. fourth sentence, summarise and conclude the author’s personal views.
Ultimately, it is only necessary to add to the Introduction and Conclusion as appropriate. Specifically, punctuate the point:
V. In the first sentence of the Introduction, cite information about research on a topic over the past several decades as background.
VI. In the second sentence of the Introduction, explain in detail the meaning of a keyword.
VII. In the third sentence of the Introduction, explain why the topic is being pursued.
viii. The first three sentences of the Conclusion, with reference to the above, provide a general overview of the research methodology and its strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of the key topics to be explored in the thesis and their significance.
Total Addition of 100 Words including Introduction and Conclusion: 820 words.
