Introducing Essay Writing to 2D students

Writing is normally considered as a heavy stuff for most students. But, it is peanuts for those who have mastered the writing skills.

Basically, ideas have to come and flow like a river. Water is so powerful that even the rocks in a stream cannot stop it from flowing, water never choose a place to stay. So, dear students, the rocks are just like obstacles on our mind. Try to overcome the obstacles and let your ideas flow like water.

In writing an essay, there are certain things to be rememberd.

1. Flow
2. Logic
3. Linking


An essay will normally has

1. INTRODUCTION- To attract readers' atttention and evoke their curiosity
- To introduce the topic and provide a picture to readers

2. BODY 1 - IDEA
TOPIC SENTENCE
POINTS
EXPLANATION
EXAMPLE
CONCLUSION
(For any body, we must have an idea. Then we have to write a topic
sentence as our main guide for this particular paragraph. After
that, we have to provide point(s), then we should think of
explanation/ example(s) to suppor our stand. Finally, we should
provide a conclusion for the paragaraph)

3. BODY 2 - SAME AS BODY 1

4. BODY 3 - SAME AS BODY 1


5. CONCLUSION - To summarise the points/ ideas
- or state your overall feelings towards the topic



Haha.. you guys just started to learn this format, it is normal for you to feel odd
as you are still not familiar with the format. I can assure you that when you are used to the format, then it is not a problem for you and most of all you are a SYSTEMATIC THINKER. You will be a trained student and the format is very much useful for your FUTURE UNDERTAKINGS.

ALL THE BEST!
