To write a good essay, it will take me at least 1-2 hours depending on how familiar it is. The easiest part is thinking about the main ideas because they usually pop up in my head within a few minutes. The most challenging part, however, is filling in the details. I am not a good narrator and, worse than that, I am also slow in typing.

I think if the introduction part is boring and people decide not to read it, your work will just be in the trash. The first step I would do when writting essay is finding supporting ideas and decorating the ideas. Then, I will be moving to the introduction to match with the idea and the essays topic then conclusion.

ReplyDeleteThe easiest part of writing essay is when i have to give examples to illustrate the reasons I discuss about. For the most challenging part of writing an essay, I think it is when I have to find reasons to support my opinion.

The most challenging part would be how to link different ideas together as one logical and coherent piece of writing. Before I start writing, I am going to brainstorm ideas, then find the central idea or thesis of what I will write about. After that I put ideas into groups, normally three, which would support my thesis.

But, in case of an sample essay for graduate admission, I took 3 days for writing 700-word essay. I checked it again and again. Changed a lot of words and phrase many many times.
ReplyDeleteThe easiest part is body, because I must have some tentative plan what I wanna write while the hardest part is an introduction.
