HOW TO WRITE A GOOD ESSAY?
The beginning of an essay is the most important for the reader's interest. Begin the essay by opening the topic without revealing the conclusions that will be reached in the course of the essay. You can give reasons why you chose the topic in this site

, or why the reader should read the whole essay. To hook the reader, you can use questioning tactics; formulate a question to which the whole essay responds. It can be a bit circular, but ideally the essay will succeed in answering the initial question. There can be two questions. Example: (used in my essay Communication in the workplace) "I spent a long time thinking about the concept of communication in the workplace. What does it really mean? What does it mean to me and to others who will be working in a particularly intensive work and school community for the next three and a half years?"
I like to introduce the reader to the subject of the essay at the outset, so that he or she knows what we are talking about. A subjective essay does not necessarily need an introduction, but if the topic is, for example, the administration of Donald Trump or the winter behaviour of the whooper swan, it is good for the reader to know a little background about Donald Trump or the whooper swan. An introduction can be thought of as an answer to the question "What on earth?" For example, my essay How did they stay sane? is a research essay in which factual information plays a major role. That's why I open the essay in the first part, for example, with trauma and PTSD.
Main points.
Browse through the ideas you wrote earlier in the memo and select the most relevant ones. These points should be placed under their own subheadings to help the reader keep track. The subheading does not have to be a statement that you read in your memo, but it can be if you want it to be. The point is that the content of those paragraphs opens up the argument and your own reflection on it. For example: (used in my essay How do I choose my words?) "The etiquette of language - is it a lesson we forget as children or do we still carry it with us?" A subheading that is not directly to the point, but the point answers the question in the title. Under that subheading, I open up my thoughts on the matter. (Sometimes the same "best to last" method works in essays. See How do I choose my words?)
Concluding and summarising.
You should end your essay in such a way that the concluding paragraph signals to the reader that it has come to an end. An essay that ends in a rush seems unfinished - do not end on the point made in the previous paragraph. It is a good idea to start softly, for example: 'On a general level, the topic is challenging and there is plenty to think about, even for a full-time job...'. I personally prefer something that works as both an inspirational and motivational statement as the last sentence of the concluding paragraph.
Check your grammar.
Grammatical errors take away credibility, and the more grammatically correct the text is, the more the reader will be convinced. Read your text from beginning to end a few times. Word will point out common spelling mistakes, but it can't yet point out unnecessary words. So keep your text concise and avoid unnecessary verbosity.
Layout.
Check that the subheadings are in the right place and that the text looks coherent. Come up with a title for the essay (it's much easier when you do it last).
The guidelines are indicative and largely based on your own experience. By reading other people's essays, you also

develop as a writer. As you read, take note of what you like and what you don't like. Then you will know how to add and subtract those things from your own writing.
When you feel more comfortable writing essays, you can develop yourself further by starting to hone your verbal fluency. In practice, this means producing a text with a clean style - one without typos and using sophisticated phrasing. Writing is a personal form of self-expression. Even if writing initially feels sticky and uncomfortable, with enough practice it can become a way of making art.
