Dear All, roughly speaking, the diagram below is supposed to show you what the typical essay

structure looks like:

Introduction

elements related logically and stylistically. At this stage, it is very important to formulate a question
to which you are going to find an answer in the course of his research. When working on the
introduction can help to answer the following questions:
• “Do I have to give a definition of terms, sounded in the theme essay?”
• “What concepts will be involved in my thinking on subject?“
• “Can I split a topic into smaller sub-topics? ”

Body of paragraphs
The main part, which includes a theoretical basis and some selected problems, highlights the main
issues for discussion. This part involves the development of reasoning and analysis and the
rationale for them, i.e. arguments and viewpoint(s) on the key problem. During the construction of
the essay you must remember that one paragraph should contain only one statement which should
be supported by illustrative material. A well-tested way to build any essay is to use subheadings to
identify key issues.

Conclusion

make a brief (epigrammatic) restatement of the thesis statement and the arguments in the body of
paragraphs. Methods, which are recommended are repetition, illustration, quote, an impressive
