| Basically, the ESSAY is a piece of creative writing in prose on any subject-matter in which the author purpots to give his or her personal outlook on a subject. The word 'essay' is originated from a French word meaning 'act of weighing' and came to denote 'attempt, effort or its product'. Thus, the essay signifies a trial or endeavour of a writer to express on paper any opinion containing general ideas of a writer on a topic. Essays are considered to be endevours of writers to comprehend their own thoughts and to communicate their ideas to others. A great number of essays have been published on every certain subject in the press. Furthermore, the essay is the most widespread type of advanced writing exercise at school. Essays may differ in size. But a school essay normally contains five hundred words on average. According to the manner in which the topic is presented, essays are classified into the following types: argumentative, narrative and descriptive. The argumentative essay is a piece of writing in which authors put across their opinions or views and argue for or against a certain point of view. The narrative essay is a description of happenings sequencing one another. Facts are set up in keeping with the real succession of happenings. The descriptive essay differs from the narrative essay in the order in which thoughts and facts are set up. It is not determined by the actual sequence of events but rather by typical characteristics of happenings or the writer's arrangement of the presentation. The essay has three major obligatory structural parts: the introduction, the main body and the conclusion. It is worth remembering that a perfectly arranged essay is logical, coherent, clear and easy to follow. Here are several valuable tips on how to write a clear-cut essay. Before starting an essay it is important to find, observe, analyse and combine facts relevant to the subject-matter of an essay. In other words, data-base and a good scheme of the future work are essential for writing an excellent essay. As soon as you have decided on a subject, organize facts in an order appropriate to the purpose of your essay and opt for the method of your data set-up (comparison, contrast, analogy on facts, classification). Make a detailed outline which will help you keep to your pattern as you write. Stick to the specified limits of space and learn not to exceed them. Define your purpose in the written form by making a thesis statement which will express a subject-matter. Jot down a preliminary draft to ensure that you have organized your essay logically and that your introduction and conclusion are clear-cut to make your piece of creative writing more dynamic. Format your final draft according to the assigned requirements. As seen from the above mentioned, to develop the skill of writing an essay one should be well aware of its structural elements, features and types and keep practising, for practice makes perfect. |
