 SBI PO Mains - Descriptive Test Preparation

Dear Readers,

Most of the students have been demanding an article on "How To Write An Essay". Well, to answer all

your doubts, we would like to share some information that will help you build different parts of an

essay. And we will try to keep it as simple as we can so that the Hindi/other language medium students

can also feel comfortable writing the essay. This is no rocket science but one can easily compile their

thoughts to write an Essay.

Well, let us start with the parts of an essay. An Essay can be divided into in three parts:

1) Introduction

2) Body and

3) Conclusion

It is very important to stick to the motive of the Essay and you need to consider all the important

aspects. Students, Please make a note that an Essay is not an opinion but a description of what you

know about the topic. And to write an essay you need to have the view point having both negative and

positive. Now let us have an idea for how to approach for writing an essay.

Step 1: Identify the Topic

Friends, it is very important for you all to understand what is asked. Without proper understanding, you

may get diverted from the topic unintentionally. So, to start it in a better way, you need to ask

questions to yourself like "Why, What and How". And whatever response you can think of, just write it

down on the rough sheet. Once everything gets covered, you need to put all the bits and pieces into its

place.

Step 2: Choose Keywords

You need to choose keywords quite wisely. You will get the hint of the keywords from the question

itself. Suppose you are asked to write the Essay on "Brexit and it's Impact on Indian Economy", then
you know what kind of keywords you need to use. The keywords emphasizes on the particular topic and

build a better understanding.

Step 3: Introduction

Now comes the most important part of the Essay. The "Introduction" is the part which will leave an

impact on the reader. This doesn't mean that you start writing catchy phrases or anything else. You just

need to make sure that you don't make spelling mistake and any grammatical mistake in the sentences.

You have to keep watch of present, past and future tenses while writing the essay. As the word itself

suggests 'introduction' means 'to introduce' or 'to make aware about something'. It means you need to

introduce the given topic to the reader i.e. what does the topic means.

After Introducing the subject to the reader you need to frame the body of the essay.

Step 4: Body

Body of an essay contains the aspects of the topic. You need to explain the factual concept that why did

the event take place or what actually happened. Furthermore, you need to provide the positive

aspects of the topic provided.

After explaining about the positive aspects you can explain about the negative aspects of the topic, if

any.

Again, its not about your opinion. Indeed it is a factual description of the topic.

Step 5: Conclusion

You need to be very careful while writing the conclusion. You do not need to tilt towards any political,

religious or any other side. You need to provide a conclusion that what can be done for

furthermore advancement/correction etc and what may be the consequences regarding the topic.

A conclusion should always be in the positive direction. There should not be a negative conclusion.

Moreover, try to use simple words and simple sentences and avoid grammatical and spelling mistakes.

SUB : TO START OVERDRAFT FACILITY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT

DEAR SIR,
I am a Savings account holder of your branch. My account no is 32239829987 . I had overdraft
facility associated with my account but it was not necessary for me at that time. Now I would like
to have this facility again.
As prices of daily commodities are increasing day by day ,it is very difficult to maintain good living
standard in a city like Kolkata. As my salary revision will come on effect after Jan 2017 so I need
some extra money each month to fulfill my needs. So I would like to have overdraft facility in my
bank account until my salary revision.
I would therefore request you to give me the facility .
Hoping for a positive and quick response.

Thanks and regards

Sachidulal Das.

To,
The Supritendent of Police
Varanasi Cantt
Sir,
I am a resident of Kunj chowk and want to draw your attention towards the increasing numbers of
theft near ATM. Everyday we hear about 2 or 3 cases of burglary or theft near ATM located in
our vicinity. Thieves keep an eye around the ATM and closely watch the customers who came for
transaction. After coming out of ATM they go after person and trying to rob them.
So, I kindly request you to look into the matter and take necessary steps to check this type of
activity in our area.
Yours Faithfully,
Sunahari.

address your letter to SHO (station housing officer) of your area

do not put coma after dear, put it after madam,
from the last one year is much appropriate and better not to complain about such a chronic
condition prevailing from 1 year because if somewhere theft occurs the matter is brought to
authorities within stipulated time here use from last few days for appropriation rest no issues
recently two days ago is viable
sorry but there are lot of grammatical as well as sentence formulation mistakes
i used your content put here language is mine

This letter intends to inform to you that I am a resident of one town locality from last 4 years,
since then I have enjoyed peaceful atmosphere. i want to draw your attention toward the
surging/increasing/sparking theft cases from previous few days in the locality of one town,
especially in the ATM's during evening and late nights.Masked robbers enter the ATM premises
and take away the amount withdrawn by the customers with them. This has caused panic and
feel of insecurity among the residents.
ATM guard deployed by the bank without arms is not competent enough to deal with this matter
and hence I request you to deploy extra patrolling police vans in the locality, so that peaceful
atmosphere can be revived once again.
Kindly consider the above written matter at the earliest possible.

Write a Letter to the Bank informing it about your card not being returned by its Automatic teller
Machine during a recent transaction.
