- Paragraph 1
This is where you introduce your topic and give the reader an idea of what to expect in the following paragraphs. Make sure you refer to each topic that will occur in the rest of the essay, in the order in which they appear. To put it briefly, the first paragraph gives an overview of the whole essay.
- Paragraphs 2 – 4
There are no specific rules for the body of the essay, except that they must be logically linked with one another. If, for instance, you’re writing an essay on training a dog in 5 steps, do not include the first 3 steps in a single paragraph and your personal experience in the conclusion. Each paragraph of the body must have a single point and be supported by 3 or 4 sub-points.
- Paragraph 5
This is where you conclude your essay by reiterating Paragraph 1 and providing a brief synopsis of Paragraphs 2 – 4. Here you need to tie all the separate points together in a logical manner. Conclude with an impressive statement that will stay with the reader and make sure you don’t overlook any loose ends
There! That wasn’t too difficult, was it?
