Don't ask us! Just put a writing utensil (or not . . . ) to the page and get working!\n\nIf you ask us, it won't be a creation of yours, and you'll have missed the point of the activity.

As An introduction, I would suggest wikipedia. There are other sites out there too.

With only 500 words to work with, your essay is going to be about 3 or 4 paragraphs long. That's not much space so you'll have to be fairly conservative in your writing.\n\nYour introductory paragraph should explain what recycling is and what can be recycled. You want to start with fairly general statements and move towards your specific thesis.\n\nYour thesis should be one sentence long and found at the end of the introductory paragraph. It should be insightful; that is, it shouldn't be so obvious that your reader could have come up with it on there own without having done any research. If you're not sure if your thesis is insightful, ask yourself, "So what?". This will tell you if your thesis answers the question of why it is important to recycle.\n\nYour next paragraph should explain your thesis in detail. If your thesis talks about the economic benefits to recycling in your region you should provide a well set up source, followed by a quote from this source and then an explanation of how this quote supports your main point. Don't just string quotes together, your reader wants to know why YOU think your school should recycle, not what Dr. Bob Dobbs thinks.\n\nAfter you have written your 1 or 2 body paragraphs, you should write a conclusion. You can use this space as the one last push for your idea. Relate it to the larger picture. If your school recycles, how will it benefit other schools, future students and your city as a whole?\n\nYou should probably also provide a works cited. This is a list of the sources you used in the body of your paragraph. If recycling is going to be an administrative decision (and I imagine it will be given the cost of starting such programs) they will probably be interested in further research on the proposal you have made.\n\nWell, I hope this helped you out. Good luck with your proposal!

I find it best if you can try to open an essay with a question. Get the reader excited about what they are about to read. For example if you are discussing the civil war you ask " Can a nation torn at the seams ever reunite with peace?" Then in your intro. briefly discuss each point that you discuss in the next paragraphs. Then state your purpose, or your topic sentence. Staying with my example..."The United States survived a war that tore down the middle and through the heart using strength and vigilance" Your conclusion is just a re-statement of your topic sentence, or your purpose. So a good conclusion to my civil war paper might be " Despite the harsh feelings shared by the north and the south the United States fought to stay a country United. "\nDon't make it too hard on yourself yet. English is an incredibly difficult language. Putting emotion in your writing will come once you are more comfortable with english.

Your introduction captures the reader's attention and describes what you plan to present in the paper, your research methods, etc.\n\nThe conclusion reiterates and summarizes the points you made and should support your thesis.

Read, read and read some more. Choose a variety of good books, classics, novels, factual accounts, biographies and so on. Learn the styles of the authors and the grammar they use. Try to emulate them and practice setting out whatever you wish to write logically. \n\nDecide before you start to write what you are going to say and set out a resume so that you don't stray from the point. Set out paragraphs of roughly equal size making sure that each covers a topic. \n\nIf you're writing a novel make sure that the words the characters speak sound real by saying them yourself. \n\nGet a friend to proof read what you have written, pointing out any errors. If writing on a P C use spell check and, if you have it, grammar check. \n\nTry writing about the same thing from two different angles to give you perspective then take the best bits out of both and combine them.\n\nTake care with punctuation. A badly punctuated sentence can appear to mean something quite different. Example:-\n\n"Don't do that." is instructing someone not to do something.\n\n"Don't. Do that." Is telling someone to do something in preference to their original action.\n\nAbove all make sure that you enjoy your writing so that, hopefully, others will also.

ANSWER THE QUESTION DIRECTLY.  This will be your thesis, and it will be presented as one of the last sentence in your intro (in almost all cases).  The beginning of the intro should have backround info that is relevant to the rest of your paper.  \n\nIn each body paragraph, address one part of your thesis (break down your thesis into smaller parts, and prove each one of them in a separate body paragraph).  Prove them using facts, quotes (if you are doing an essay on a book), or sometimes personal beliefs.  Now, use your own interpretation to tie these facts to your thesis i.e., tell the reader how they prove it (or how they prove the parts of the thesis for that body paragraph).\n\nIn your conclusion, summarize what you said, including your thesis, and leave the reader with food for thought.

more specifically..in ur intro, u should state ur thesis statement, then state ur three topic sentences that will give ur reader an insight of what u will be talking abt in order to prove ur thesis statement.end ur intro with a conclusion that restates ur thesis statement but mind u-use other words..dont repeat words..\nthen coming to ur first topic sentence (1st paragraph)..give as much proof as possible to show ur thesis statement is right..while giving the evidence, keep relating back to the thesis statement..end the paragraph with a conclusion..use connectives like in addition, altogether etc. so that ur essay seems to be 'flowing'. do the same to ur third paragraph and fourth for ur second and third topic statements...\nnow coming to ur main conclusion..restate the thesis in a another way now..but dont distort what u r intending to say...\nand oh yes, dont forget to write the works u cited to get the proof..\n\nHope I have proved helpful to u!! :)

Is this your own assignment?  What I would do first is see if there is any certain topic you have to find for class.  Let's use English as our subject.  So, find a book that you like and find a long paragraph!  The main idea is the main point that the author is trying to get across.  This is usually in the first or the last sentence.  Then the supporting details are the ones that give more meaning to the main idea.  \n\nAn exmaple:  A main idea would be, "Tom Thumb is a small man."  and your supporting details would be, "He is so small that he is only the size of someone's thumb.  He got lost in my pocket once!  A cat mistook him for a mouse!"\n\nAfter you read the supporting details, you understand exactly how small Tom is.  The next paragraph might have the main idea about how Tom is funny.  The next might be about how Tom eats a lot of food.\n\nThe other post is a good way of showing how when you write an essay or a book that all the main ideas get put together to form one big idea.  All of my examples put together could be an essay with the main idea, or subject, about, "The Man Called Tom Thumb."\n\nHope this illustrates your questtion!  Good luck with main ideas... you are on your way to being a great writer!

In the introduction, give a general idea of the issue, question, or ideas you are going to write about. It's especially good if you can get in a "hook" or attention grabber to capture people's interest. For example, "By the year 2060, ninety percent of the country of Bangladesh may be underwater."\nIn the conclusion, summarize your point of view and bring closure to the essay.  \nHere's a website with hints on essay writing.\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/

how long does the essay have to be?\n\ni would rewrite the introduction definitely. i would probably focus more on electives or rewrite it in a way that emphasizes your electives\n\nim a little fuzzy on the tutoring thing - did you tutor students (and if so then, write your reasonings behind tackling a harder subject) or were you being tutored? (and if so, then add what youve got from it - other than it being reflected in your test scores)\n\nand also, talk more about psychology and anatomy. what exactly did you get out of it, why did you decide to pursue it in the future, any eye-opening experiences or something... are you excited to get more into it in college or - what.\n\nyea, these are just suggestions though, so its up to you to use them :]

Your introduction is easy, don't get too caught up w/ it.  Remember to keep it simple.  You just need to preview everything that follows in the body - I would be nice if you could make these things connect.  Don't introduce new ideas here, just preview.\n\nYour conclusion summarizes everything you stated in the body. Again, no new info here, Wrap it up, DRAW A CONCLUSION!!!!!  or form opinion.\n\n Last sentence, end with impact!!!!  \n\nWhy matters now - pick some of the things she did (presumeably you described in body) and discuss how that has touched or effected what's going on today.  Or maybe it's that we need more people doing what she did then today?\n\nBest of Luck!
