Features of a Good Essay Have

A single obvious key concept should be the focus of an essay. There should be a distinct primary idea or
theme sentence in each paragraph essay. To persuade or sufficiently enlighten the reader, the essay
must have many key components that flow logically.

Well-Focused

Be careful to answer the question thoroughly in all sections. Padding is not something you want to do. A
lot of rambling and ranting is a solid indicator that the writer isn't sure what the proper response is.

Well-Organized

Don't write a disorganized dialogue while thinking on your feet. The reader isn't going to play detective
and try to figure out what you're up to. Make some preparations and ensure that what you write has a
clear intro that specifies the points you'll make.

Well-Supported

Don't just say something is true - back it up with factual evidence! What facts, statistics, instances, case
studies, tests, and other evidence do you have to back up your main claim? You may be educated,
likeable and so on, but no one is going to believe anything you say just because you say it. The
distinction between a high and a low grade is frequently attributable to the appropriate utilization of
supporting evidence.

Creative

Anyone can write an argument essay with different essay ideas using the suggestions above, but what
makes it truly excellent is your own unique perspective on the topic. If you see something exciting or
odd in your reading, mention it: if you find it fascinating, the examiner is likely to find it fascinating as
well.

A Few Mistakes to Avoid

A bad essay involves faulty personal statements that combine a challenging subject matter with bad
delivery, just as brilliant personal statements combine an unexpected theme with superb execution.

Academic essays are an inescapable component of each student's education. One of the most valuable
abilities you may acquire during your college years is the ability to write properly. However, whether
from private or public school, most high school and college students will make several mistakes before
mastering the art of academic essay writing.

While you won't be able to completely avoid writing essays, you can avoid making the following
common mistakes that turn a good essay into a terrible one.

Lack of a Strong Argument Thesis Statement

To write an excellent essay, you must first develop a solid thesis statement. The thesis statement serves
as the anchor for the rest of your essay. It should express a point of view and be as detailed as possible.

How to avoid: Compose a thesis statement that is both clear and compelling. Remember, this is the
section of the article that should persuade readers to keep reading.

Too Many Quotes, Facts, and Information

The body paragraphs in an essay are expected to represent your knowledge of the issue as well as the
research you conducted to back up your argument. Excessive usage of quotes, facts, and information
from the work you're analyzing or from your own study tarnishes your authority on the subject. They
should only be utilized when they can make a point with the fluency that you can't equal with your own
words.

How to avoid: Keep the essay's prompt in mind. If it's difficult, make sure you review the final draft
before submitting the paper.

Typos

You may have heard that typos aren't a sign of poor grammar or foreign language skills and that they
may be found in any piece of writing. However, publishing your essay without proofreading it indicates
that you are not paying attention.

How to avoid: Properly follow the required format by your instructor: APA, MLA, Chicago, etc. Revise
your writing thoroughly and look for errors, misspellings, and faulty structure.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as "cloning, stealing and passing off someone else's work or topic ideas as one's
own." Colleges and institutions have rigorous anti-plagiarism regulations and utilize a variety of methods
to look for plagiarized information in your work. You won't get away with that, and it may even result in
suspension. Professors can tell if anything was written by school students or if it originated from
somewhere else, so don't try to fool them.

How to avoid: Never take a quotation as your own statement, and always credit your sources.
