8 Rules Of Great College Project Presentation
by Randy Marcum writing essays1.
Attract readers. The
introductory part consists of three parts: “bait”, a summary of key points of
view and theses. The first part contains a decoy that attracts the attention
of readers and forces them to read the entire main text of the essay. The bait
should be relevant to your views on the topic and arouse interest among
potential readers.
·
Rhetorical
question. Ask a question that will help the reader understand the essence of
your thoughts and cling to him. For example, an essay on gay marriage can begin
with the phrase: “Can't a person marry the one he loves?”
·
A
shocking statement or statistics. If you start with a shocking statement or
statistics on a topic, this may attract readers. For example, if you are
writing an essay about depression among college students, you might start with
something like: “More than ten percent of students suffer from protracted
depression.”
·
Anecdote.
Start with a short joke on the topic. However, remember that this will not
always be appropriate. If you are writing an essay about the difficulties of
single mothers, you should not say something like: "Anya was barely making
ends meet, trying to look after her son Robert."
2. State
the main points of view on the problems of your work. After you have attracted the attention
of readers, it is worth writing a few lines about the contents of the work so
that readers can know what to expect from it. For example, if you started an
essay like at the writing service
for argumentative essays with the phrase: “The three main themes that
permeate the Great Gatsby novel are loneliness, the power of wealth over a
person and the loss of true love,” you should pay a few sentences to the theme
of loneliness in the novel, then about how wealth spoils a person, and how
painful and hard it is to lose true love.
3. State
your thesis.
Attracted attention, made a brief summary, it's time to move on to the theses.
They will be most appropriate to look at the end of the introductory part, but
in some cases they may be indicated in the text earlier if the composition
benefits from this. The introductory part and theses serve as a kind of bridge
connecting together the rest of the composition. So, in the introductory part
of a good essay should be:
·
"Bait"
to attract readers
·
Summary
of the main thoughts that will be covered in the main part of the essay
·
Abstracts
4. Write
the main body of 3-5 paragraphs. After you have sketched your theses and the introductory part, most of
the work on the essay has already been done. It's time to start writing the
main part of the essay, in which you should develop the main ideas reflected in
the theses in order to convey information to readers or make them accept your
arguments in the discussion. Depending on the size of the essay, you will need
to write 3-5 or more paragraphs, which should include:
·
A
subtitle that allows the reader to understand what is being discussed in this
paragraph.
·
Supporting
details, eyewitness accounts, statistics, or facts to illustrate your point.
·
A
final sentence that sums up and is a “bridge” between paragraphs.
5. Write
a conclusion. After
the introductory part and three paragraphs in the main part, go to the
conclusion, in which you need to summarize and draw conclusions. To conclude:
Restate your thesis
·
To
some extent, summarize the theses and draw conclusions from them.
·
Remind
the reader of their main ideas
·
Return
to jokes, statistics or facts set forth in the introductory part of the essay
(optional).
Leave food
for thought to the reader.
Attention! Remember that the composition must
be written in the third person. This is very important for writing good quality
work. You do not need to use expressions like: “I think ...”, “In my
opinion”, because your arguments will look subjective. Instead: “I believe that
there is no need to introduce a legal ban on abortion,” say: “Abortion should
remain legal.” So your argument will look more convincing.
Avoid
statements from the first or second person. There is no need to address the
reader to “you”, speak in an impersonal form, using the substitute pronouns
“he, she, they”. Instead of writing in an essay: “You need to spend at least
3-5 hours a week on self-training in order to successfully study at college,”
say: “University students need to spend at least three to five hours a week on
self-education, if they want to achieve high results. "
