3 What is an essay?
An essay is a piece of writing designed to a ect its readers in a manner determined by
its author. A good essay will tend to sway the reader toward the writer’s position on
his/her subject.
Generally an essay is short
The writer must keep the reader in mind as he/she writes.

4 Essay continued
The subject must be developed in such a way that the reader would have no trouble
understanding it.
Essays can be classi ed in terms of whether they are descriptive, expository, narrative,
or argumentative/ persuasive. Each of these can be classi ed as either informal or
formal.

5 Formal verses Informal

thoughts and feelings of the writer. This type of essay usually deals with serious
thoughts and ideas.
 6 Informal or Familiar

thoughts about the objects.

technique.
The introduction states the main idea (thesis) of the essay. It also provides a preview of
the ideas discussed in the body of the essay.

16 2. The Body: A good thesis statement suggests the body of an essay will be
developed. The following are patterns of organization that writer’s use in the body of an
essay.

17 Patterns of organization
De nition: The essay formally de nes a key term then clari es and expands on that
de nition through exposition, examples and so on.
Comparison: The essay explores the similarities and di erences between things
Cause and E ect: The essay considers reasons for events or behaviours, and the
probable results. This type of essay will deal with questions such as” What is the cure for
cancer?”, “Why should I go to university?” and so on.

18 Problem/ solution: The essay concisely states a problem, giving details that help
the reader see how extensive and serious it is. Then solutions are laid out clearly and
supported with facts, evidence and expert opinion. In the conclusion, the writer often
recommends one solution, giving reasons for the choice.

19 3. The Conclusion:
Endings like beginnings should be short and to the point.
A brief summary that reviews the main points in appropriate in a long research paper,
but should be avoided in a short essay.
The ending should naturally grow out of what precedes it. It should not add new
information, but can present the writer’s nal thoughts on the thesis.
