The Steps for Writing a Good Essay

• 1. The first thing is choosing the theme. If you
  have to write an essay on the given theme, you
  may narrow it according to your interests.
• For example, if your theme is Folk Songs, you
  can write several sentences about folk songs in
  your country in general, and then describe
  wedding dance songs in details. The more concrete
  information attracts more attention. However, you
  cant avoid general information in your text.

3

• If your task is writing about folk songs, mention
  the main groups of them (the folk songs are
  divided into two large groups which are connected
  or non-connected with a ritual the ritual songs
  may be calendar or family, the non-ritual songs
  are social and marital).
• Then you can indicate that folk wedding dance
  songs are family and ritual folk texts. After
  that, make a more detailed description of wedding
  dance songs.

• 2. Thinking about the styles of writing is the
  second thing you need to do. For example, it can
  be a scientific or fiction style.
• The golden rule is that you may combine different
  styles, but you may not confuse them. What is the
  difference between combining and confusing the
  styles?

5

• If you combine two different styles, it means
  that you get one style (you have combined
  scientific and fiction styles, as a result, the
  style of your whole essay is a science fiction,
  for instance).
• If you confuse two different styles, it means
  that you have two different styles in your essay
  (for example, you have confused scientific and
  fiction styles, as a result, the style of the
  first part of your essay is written in the
  fiction style, the second part is a scientific
  one and the third part is in the fiction style
  again).

The Plan of Your Essay

• The third step is making a plan of your essay.
• For example, you write a philosophical discourse.
  This type of essays has a traditional structure
• 1. An introduction.
• 2. A main part.
• 3. A conclusion.

7

• 1. An introduction involves the hypothesis.
• If your theme is The Possibility of Life after
  Death, you may suppose that people live after
  death.

8

• 2. A main part is an analysis of your theme.
• If you suppose that people live after death, you
  may give an example of folk stories about dead
  men walking. Then argue why we should believe in
  these stories.

9

• 3. A conclusion is a confirmation (or a
  refutation) of the hypothesis. If you have clear
  and convincing evidence of living dead men, your
  hypothesis is correct and you can make the
  conclusion that people really live after death.
• Dont despair if it is impossible to prove your
  theory about life after death. In this case, you
  will have a refutation of the hypothesis. The
  last result is not worse than the first one!

Some Writing Taboos

• Remember about taboos in the essay writing
• 1) dont write the meaningless phrases, as it may
  irritate the potential reader
• 2) dont use very long sentences, as it may bore
  the reader
• 3) dont make grammatical mistakes, as it may
  infuriate the reader
• 4) dont repeat your thoughts using different
  words, as it may tire and enrage the reader.
