Writing is an art you may not be able
to grope instantly. It comes over a period of time and with constant
practice. Essay comes from the French word ‘essai’ that means effort and
to sketch. So it is your effort that you put into the job to get a
reverberating outcome. Because it is some kind of freedom you experience
when you write your expressions that stream in your mind.
Unlike other academic homework’s that you get, composition and essaying
is one kind of writing where you can write how and what you feel. Of
course keeping in mind the author’s representation of thoughts and words
that you are digging into and then letting out your thoughts takes a
different turn. That is essaying in a nutshell. Giving a title to your
work is very difficult. You have to encapsulate the entire thought of
your writing in the topic. The title should say it all, says your
teacher. So sometimes the best way to get a title is to work from below
i.e. to write your essay and then while doing so, something entertaining
will strike you from the words written. Take it and put it in the title.

There are different styles of
writing your essay. Nobody wants to read the monotonous style of narrative
writing. Pen your style with metaphors, comparisons, hyperbole, unpredictable
conclusions, interesting phrases and a climaxing end. But of course this will
not come to you out of the blue.
Get your hands on some essay books by authors that have a good command over
English, and tell a tale in an interesting manner. Run through their word and
sentence structure. Paragraph start and end and the connecting factors between
the paragraphs. And of course the beginning and the end. And then practice your
way to perfection.
Tips on how to write a good essay :
Plan your essay in advance
Do not write straight away. Plan
before you begin.
Jot down briefly the main ideas,
supporting paragraphs and points.
Write clear and simple sentences to express your meaning in simple words.
Stay focused on the main idea of your essay.
Re-read your essay in the end.
While writing your essay, it is
probable that you will make a few spelling or grammar mistakes. Hence it is a
good idea to try to read through your essay once more and correct them.
