WRITING

THE GURU OF A
GOOD ESSAY
YOU WERE ASKED TO CHOOSE
ONE OUT OF THESE TOPICS:
• WAYS ON HOW STUDENTS CAN SPEAK ENGLISH CONFIDENTLY IN PUBLIC
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHOULD MANAGE THEIR STUDY TIME
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CAN SPEND THEIR MONEY WISELY
TO WRITE AN ESSAY:
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE GOING TO WRITE
FOR THESE TOPICS, YOU ARE
GOING TO WRITE ON:
• WAYS ON HOW STUDENTS CAN SPEAK ENGLISH CONFIDENTLY IN PUBLIC
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHOULD MANAGE THEIR STUDY TIME
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CAN SPEND THEIR MONEY WISELY
THEN, AS THE BASIC GUIDELINES
FOR US TO WRITE A GOOD ESSAY, IT
SHOULD CONSIST OF THESE:
AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1
BODY 2
BODY 3
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
AND THIS BASIC STRUCTURE OF A
GOOD ESSAY COMES WITH THESE
ELEMENTS:
AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1
basic information about the topic + thesis
statement

BODY 2
BODY 3topic sentence + 3 supporting details for
ech body

A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
restatement of the thesis statement + the
summary of the bodies + “so what with the
bodies and the thesis
 1
THE INTRODUCTORY
PARAGRAPH
CONSISTS OF:
PART 1:
THE BACKGROUND INFORMTION
OF THE TOPIC (TO INTRODUCE IT
TO THE READERS)
CONSISTS OF:
PART 2:
THE THESIS STATEMENT (THE LAST
SENTENCE IN AN INTRODUCTORY
PARAGRAPH THAT TELLS WHAT
THE WHOLE ESSAY IS ALL ABOUT)
FOR THESE TOPICS, THE THESIS
STATEMENT WILL BE ABOUT:
• WAYS ON HOW STUDENTS CAN SPEAK ENGLISH CONFIDENTLY IN PUBLIC
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHOULD MANAGE THEIR STUDY TIME
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CAN SPEND THEIR MONEY WISELY
SO, BEFORE COMING OUT OF THE
THESIS STATEMENT, WE DO KNOW
THAT IN A BASIC ESSAY, WE HAVE
THESE:
AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1 SINCE WE HAVE 3 BODIES FOR THE
BODY 2 MAIN IDEAS OF OUR ESSAY, SO....WE
NEED TO HAVE 3 MAIN IDEAS
BODY 3
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
THEREFORE, FOR THESE TOPICS,
THE THESIS STATEMENTS WILL
BE ABOUT THREE:
• WAYS ON HOW STUDENTS CAN SPEAK ENGLISH CONFIDENTLY IN PUBLIC
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHOULD MANAGE THEIR STUDY TIME
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CAN SPEND THEIR MONEY WISELY
TO WRITE THE THESIS STATEMENT
FOR THE ESSAY = WE CAN WRITE
“THE THREE WAYS OF...” OR WE
CAN NAME ALL THE THREE WAYS
AS “A,B AND C ARE THE WAYS OF...
AND PUT IT IN A SINGLE SENTENCE
 2
THE BODY
CONSISTS OF:
PART 1:
THE TOPIC SENTENCE (TO
INTRODUCE THE MAIN IDEA /
CONTENT OF THE TOPIC TO THE
READERS)
CONSISTS OF:
PART 2:
3 SUPPORTING DETAILS (TO
EXPLAIN / ELABORATE MORE ON
DETAILS REGARDING THE TOPIC
SENTENCE)
FOR THESE TOPICS, THE TOPIC
SENTENCES WILL BE ABOUT 3
WAYS ON:
• WAYS ON HOW STUDENTS CAN SPEAK ENGLISH CONFIDENTLY IN PUBLIC
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHOULD MANAGE THEIR STUDY TIME
• WAYS ON HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CAN SPEND THEIR MONEY WISELY
SO, BEFORE COMING OUT OF THE
THESIS STATEMENT, WE DO KNOW
THAT IN A BASIC ESSAY, WE HAVE
THESE:
AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1 SINCE WE HAVE 3 BODIES FOR THE
BODY 2 MAIN IDEAS OF OUR ESSAY, SO....WE
NEED TO HAVE 3 MAIN IDEAS
BODY 3
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
TO INTRODUCE THOSE 3 MAIN IDEAS
BODY 1 IN THESE 3 BODIES, WE NEED TO DO
BODY 2 IT BY WRITING TOPIC SENTENCES
AND EACH BODY NEEDS A TOPIC
BODY 3 SENTENCE
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
SO...BASICALLY, WE NEED TO DO
THESE...
AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1 TOPIC SENTENCE = THE FIRST WAY
BODY 2 TOPIC SENTENCE = THE SECOND WAY
BODY 3
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
TOPIC SENTENCE = THE THIRD WAY
AND...BY RIGHT....AT THIS STAGE,
WE SHOULD HAVE THESE THEN....
 THESIS STATMENT = 3 WAYS OF...

AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1 TOPIC SENTENCE = THE FIRST WAY
BODY 2 TOPIC SENTENCE = THE SECOND WAY
BODY 3
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
TOPIC SENTENCE = THE THIRD WAY

THE SUPPORTING
DETAILS
CONSISTS OF:
SUPPORTING DETAIL 1:
ANY EXPLANATION / ELABORATION / FACT /
EXAMPLE THAT CAN HELP TO MAKE THE
READERS UNDERSTOOD BETTER ABOUT THE
MAIN IDEA)

THE CONCLUDING
PARAGRAPH
CONSISTS OF:
PART 1:
RESTATEMENT OF THE THESIS
STATEMENT & THE TOPIC (A TOPIC
SENTENCE FOR THE CONCLUDING
PARAGRAPH)
CONSISTS OF:
PART 2:
A SUMMARY OF THE BODIES
CONSISTS OF:
PART 3:
THE WRITER’S CONCLUSION /
OPINION / POINT OF VIEW ABOUT
HOW THE BODIES (MAIN IDEAS)
COMPLEMENT THE TOPIC
AND...BY RIGHT....AT THIS STAGE,
WE SHOULD HAVE THESE THEN....
 THESIS STATMENT = 3 WAYS OF...

AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
BODY 1 3 TOPIC SENTENCES = 3 WAYS
BODY 2
9 SUPPORTING DETAILS

BODY 3
A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
A TOPIC SENTENCE ABOUT THE THESIS STATEMENT & THE TOPIC

THE SUMMARY OF THE BODIES

THE WRITER’S CONCLUSION ABOUT THE BODIES & THE TOPIC

THAT’S IT FOR NOW
HOPE THESE HELP YOU
OUT FURTHER....
