The key to writing an essay is inspiration and structure. Assuming you have a topic, gather what information you can about it, allow your mind to explore the boundaries of that information and see what intersts you about it, then write down a list of those things in th eorder that they appear to be connected. Think of how you can interst your reader in that subject, a catchy title and a few words of introduction. Then work your way through each of your main points (depending on essay length there shouldn't be more than three or four) saying something engaging about each. Now think how you can wrap up what you are saying to finish off with a neat ending. For me the ending always referred back to the introduction in some way and included the words of the title. That brings the whole to a satisfactory conclusion in arounded sort of way. You have posed a question for your reader and and answered it. Try to vary your sentence lengths so as not to be too clunky and keep the language simple. Use of long or obscure words may seem clever at first sight but if they are not in common use can look like bragging - and if you get the wrong meaning of them will only make you look silly. Write in a manner that can be easily read aloud without tripping over or hesitation and you should do well. Good luck - essay writing was my favourite.... And remeber to check your spellings!

okay, here's a little technique i use when writing essay..and it's really easy once you get a hang of it..and i'll show it to you through step by step :]\n\nExample. Topic - is it appropriate for teenagers to have a computer in their room? (yeah i know it sucks but i'm just using it as an example..and let's say you think they shouldn't)\n\nnow, you should think in your head that your essay will be at least contain 5 paragraphs - 1 for introduction, 3 for the body of the essay, and 1 for conclusion.\n\nparagraph 1 - introduction - try to talk about how the computers and the internet have gotten so poppular these days and how much people love to spend time on it. Then at the end of the paragraph, point out the thesis which you think that teenagers should not allow to have a computer in their room - but one thing, try not to make it an announcement.\n\nnow you need to explain a few reasons why teenagers should not have a computer in their room in order to support your thesis..\n\nbody  - paragraph 1 - it's addicting and teenagers may end up spending a lot more time on the computer than what they really suppose to, other than doing their homeworks.\n\n        paragraph 2 -  people who spend a lot of time on the computers tend to get headaches and back pain as well as damage of the vision.\n\n        paragraph 3 - it causes lack of communication between the teenagers and their parents because teenagers tend to spend a lot of time in their room so they could access to the internet.\n\nlast paragraph - conclusion - well i think you already got the idea of how to write the conclusion but remember your conclusion paragraph needs to correspond with the introduction paragraph :]\n\ni hope this will help you a little more to understand how the body structure of an essay should look like. good luck :]

The other answers were valid and good advice.  I would add that you should critically look at the short paper and see if you could outline it.  If your points follow smoothly you should easily be able to create an outline from what you've written.  If you can't, maybe some re-organization is in order.  As a last thought for you, the adage "tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them" will make sure you have a beginning, a middle with your information, and a summary (beginning and summary can just be a short sentence).    Since your essay is short, I've included a link to a short article speaking about seven steps to writing a good essay.  Good luck.  Hope you get an Excellent written in red across the top!

Write about something you know, and dont try to use big words if they aren't necessary.  Use a great hook at the beginning but it's just an essay dont get carried away, just stay away from "Have you ever heard about......Well I'm going to tell you about...." or stupid introductions like that.  Make sure you use transitions in between paragraphs.  the last sentence of a paragraph should relate to the first sentence in the next paragraph.  \ndepending on the college, most have a writing center that have people there to help you get your ideas out on paper.  I suggest going there if you need help in the technical aspect of how to write it, if it is ideas on an open essay (you pick the topic) then just think about something you truely enjoy or are knowledgable about.

then its best to write about something pertaining to that, enlisted below are my best bets,\n\nyou can write about:\nTHE BLUES BEHIND THE TRANSITION FROM SCHOOL TO COLLEGE or\nWHAT TODAYS WORLD DEMANDS FROM GRADUATES/FRESHERS or\nWHAT QUALITIES A STUDENT SHOULD INCORPORATE IN HIMSELF TO SUCCEED IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRON.OF COLLEGE AND THE WORLD or\nWHAT IS THE CATALYST BEHIND EVERY ACHIEVEMENT AT COLLEGE or\nWHAT STRATEGIC TACTICS INSTITUTES TODAY SHOULD ADOPT TO CATER TO THE NEEDS OF THE WORLD or\nHOW CAN EVERY COLLEGE STUDENT PLAY A ROLE IN THE OVERALL PROGRESS OF HIS NATION or \nHOW DYNAMIC A COLLEGE STUDENT SHOULD BE TO RISE ABOVE OTHER FELLOW STUDENTS\n\nWell...........i will stop now,hope ya got the picture as to what you should write about,trust me ,an essay should be a perfect balance of yr own original views and ideas ,that armed with an elegant touch of style of presentation and conclusion will be your coup de gra'ce to the essay.\nMy winning technique is to start the essay like this: suppose you are writing about the first topic that is school-collge transition blues ,you may begin the essay like this:\n"as I pull the blinds up on the morning of my first college day \nI cant help but get a tingling feeling in my heart that this day\nhas pulled the curtains down my school days,paving way \nfor a new beginning , a new exciting phase of my life as\na student,as I embark on my journey to college today,\nI stand sillheouted against the backdrop a new dawn,but\ncant help as I watch the rising sun with a little apprehension\nas I wonder what my college life will bring?\n\nDad somehow senses my convoluted thoughts slaps my\nback,jolting me to reality ....\nEvery student has to pass through this emotionally exciting\nas well as taxing phase of his life....".(now you begin the main crux of your essay)\n\nHope you got my point,this has always been my winning technique and hope it proves to be the same for you too!!\n\nso...what put on yr thinking cap on and 'write' your way to college!\nALL THE VERY BEST!!

after you read the question, take a minute (literally, not more) to write a quick outline of your essay on some scrap paper or the margin- that way you'll know where you want to go with your essay, and you'll be able to leave out time-consuming stuff that doesn't add to your argument.  Beyond that, practice keeping an eye on the clock.\n\nWorked for me in AP history/government. Good luck.

If you read a newspaper or go to a site like cnn.com, you will see US and world current events.  Choose one that interests you.\n\nNext, write down some words or phrases about the event.  Are the similar, or leading in a particular direction?  This would be your thesis statement, which should be at the beginning and conclusion of your essay/paper.\n\nHere are some ideas - \n*Sending more US troops to Iraq will hurt not only Iraq and the US, but also the entire MidEast region.\n*US consumers have become more materialistic in 2006, spending money and time on things that are shallow and temporary.  (PS3 and wii come to mind . . .)\n*Coastal regions are very anxious about tsunamis, and overreact at the slightest indication of a "killer wave."  [Or, the opposite - look at what happened recently in Crescent City, CA.]\n* Money spent rebuilding New Orleans without putting effective flood control in place is wasted.\n*If NASA keeps losing Mars vehicles, they shouldn't be trusted to take us back to the moon or to other places.\n\nChoose something that you feel strongly about, and it will make your paper better.
