Tips for Writing an Essay 1) Choose a topic that you know well. Make sure you have enough points to write about it. 2) Spend some time thinking about what you want to say. Make a rough outline before you start writing. 3) Introduce your essay with a short story, an example from real life, or a current event that relates to the topic. Example: For an essay on "Women in India’s Freedom Struggle," you could start with a story about Rani Lakshmibai. 4) In the main part of your essay, discuss the topic from different dimensions like politics, economy, society, technology, law, and the environment. (PESTLE) 5) Don’t spend too much time on one idea. Keep each point short and clear. 6) Write paragraphs that are not too long or too short. 7) Use words like "Furthermore," "In addition," or "Moreover" to link your ideas and help the reader follow your thoughts. 8) Make sure all parts of your essay support the main topic. Avoid going off track. 9) Divide your conclusion into three parts: what the government is doing, what society can do, and your own opinion. 10) Add Relevant Information: Use quotes, statistics, and examples to make your essay stronger. Example: "As Nelson Mandela said, 'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.' This is important in the context of gender equality in education." 11) Think of new ways to present your ideas. Innovation can make your essay stand out. 12) Compare your topic with what’s happening in other countries to give a broader view. Example: Compare India’s urban planning with Singapore’s to show different approaches. 13) Be fair and avoid sounding too biased in your essay. @dr_gjsontake
