Writing an Essay

An essay is a piece of writing several

paragraphs long. It is about one topic, just as a
paragraph is. However, because the topic of an
essay is too complex to discuss in one
paragraph, you need to divide it into several
paragraphs, one for each major point. Then you
need to tie the paragraphs together by adding
an introduction and a conclusion.

transition signal.

opportunity to convey a strong, effective message that your reader will
remember.
• Make a prediction.
• We have seen how the costs of attending collage have been rising.
while, at the same time, sources of financial aid for students have
been disappearing. If this trend continues, fewer and fewer
families will be able to send their children through four years of
college.
• Suggest results or consequences.
• To sum up, the costs of attending college are up and financial aid
for students is down. Fewer and fewer future members of the
workforce are able to educate themselves beyond high school. As
a result, the nation will waste the intelligence, imagination, and
energy of a large segment of the present college-age generation.
• Suggest a solution, make a recommendation, or call for action.
• It is clear that the U.S. system of higher education is in trouble. For many
students, four years of college is no longer possible because of increasing
costs and decreasing financial aid. To reserve this trend, we must demand
that government increase its financial support of colleges and universities
and restore financial aid programs. Our future depends on it.
• Quote an authority on the topic.
• In conclusion , costs are rising and financial aid is declining, with the result
that many can no longer afford to go to college. If our nation is to prosper,
increased government funding for education is essential, even if it requires
higher taxes. As Horace Mann argued in this Fifth Annual Report, a nation’s
economic wealth will increase through an educated public. It is therefore
in the self-interest of business to pay the taxation for public education.
