You are sitting in front of your computer, everything is quiet and you have all that you need around you: a bottle of water, a notebook to take notes, a couple of pens and highlighters… You are ready to write an essay for your <\/span>degree<\/a><\/strong> final thesis, but it seems that inspiration does not come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Suddenly you realize that, despite having set the perfect mood, you’ve drawn a complete blank.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘How do I start to write an essay? If I don’t come up with something fast, I will not graduate.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Keep calm, in this article you will find all the keys and tips on how to write and present an essay properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The first thing you should do is to decide what type of essay you are going to write, because choosing one type or another directly influences the way you will present the content.<\/span><\/p>\n Notice how writing changes depending on the strategy used in each type of essay:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As you can see, the way to write one type of essay or another is totally different depending on the intention you want to give to the text. However, the structure must always be the same:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 1 – Introduction:<\/b> its function is to situate the reader and offer a small advance on the issues that we will address throughout the essay. It usually begins by introducing general ideas and becomes more and more specific as the reading progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 2 – Body: <\/b>this is the most extensive part of the essay and where we will find developed arguments, evidence or details about the topic in question. To make it more understandable, pay special attention to how you present your ideas. Avoid writing sentences that are too long and use a different paragraph for each argument.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 3 – Conclusion:<\/b> in this section we will gather the main points and arguments that have been presented throughout the essay to relate them to a more general statement that answers the initial question. Opposite to the introduction, in this case we go from the most specific to more general ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n At CIS University we have a <\/span>student support<\/a><\/strong> department where, in addition to many other services, we offer <\/span>support workshops<\/a><\/strong> to improve our students’ writing skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, as we are aware that not all universities have such a department, today we want to share with you some tips on how to write an essay more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n Ready?<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When we get down to writing, one thing leads to another and it’s very easy to stray from the topic. That is why we suggest that you write that question or main topic in a notebook and keep it in front of you during the whole process.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best way to do it is to create a preliminary outline with the main arguments or points to be discussed that will serve as a script to start writing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you are clear about the ideas on which you are going to base your essay, start writing as soon as possible to avoid the anxiety caused by the dreaded blank page. No matter how it looks, you will have time to work it out later.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best way to write an essay is to start with the body and, once the central text is finished, write the introduction and conclusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Without them, the text would only be a set of sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes, when rereading the complete text, we realize that there are ideas that are not connected or in the wrong order.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When we finish a text we have an emotional link that binds us to it, but if we let a few hours go by this link disappears and allows us to read the text with new eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Got it? Great, so let’s move on to how to submit an essay.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you know how to write your essay more efficiently, we only need to look at its presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n Usually it is the same school or university that defines how the essays should be presented and in what format, but all of them usually agree on the following:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What did you think of our tips on how to write an essay?
