Essay recommendations

An academic essay is a detailed and reasoned text on a problem. This genre is distinguished by its free form: here individual impressions and subjective considerations on a certain topic are important, bright examples are possible (including from personal experience), journalistic elements, and artistic metaphors.

In this case, as with any scientific text, the essay must be logical and demonstrative. It must contain:

1. Problem statement

What problem does this question (this topic) raise?
Why are the discussions on this topic important, why is this question of interest to you?
What other issues do you need to consider in order to solve the topic?
In the introduction, you can present a thesis or hypothesis that you want to unfold or prove. The author of the essay may also rely on a quote from the work of a researcher or philosopher, explaining how he understands the thesis and how the thesis allows the topic to be solved. In this case, be sure to mention the source of the quote.

2. Examples and arguments

Which example (case from life, film, fiction text, etc.) best illustrates this topic?
How does this example reflect the problem to which the essay is devoted?
Are there any facts to support the assumptions, thesis, hypothesis?
What proof of your judgments (opinions, suppositions) can be given?


3. Conclusions

What conclusions have you come to, is the hypothesis confirmed?
What questions remain unresolved?
In conclusion, a brief analysis of your own experience in writing this essay is possible: what was the most difficult thing that came to mind immediately, with what opinion or assumption did you have to part with as you wrote?

The author of this essay may refer to other studies (the source of the direct or indirect quotation must be mentioned). Compliance with the grammatical, stylistic, spelling rules of English also has a significant impact on the final grade.
