Answer 7

An essay is a short story basically. It needs an introduction, a 'middle bit', and a conclusion. Generally 5 paragraphs would do it but you could go as far as seven depending on topic, content and length..

In your introduction tell them what you;re going to tell them. In the middle tell them what you want to tell them and in conclusion tell them what you've told them. Make your essay interesting and punchy so that the reader is riveted from the beginning right to the end. Don't finish lamely. Make your conclusion thought provoking.
