issue essay structure

by thanghnvn Wed Nov 23, 2011 1:22 am

in issue essay, I see that I can write any thing provided that I have clear ideas and structure. The body structure of issue essay can be

a, reason 1, example 1-reason 2, example 2-reason 3, example 3

b, example 1, example 2, example 3.

Is that right?, expert, pls, comment

for both essays, idea and structure are more important than language. This means I can use simple language to convey rich ideas and can still get 6. Is that righ?, I used to get 6 on toefl writing because I used simple language to convey rich ideas. Is that right? expert, pls, help

You can get a decent score using simpler words / language, but probably not a 6. The TOEFL is designed for non-native speakers, but the GMAT is also taken by native speakers. The very top score (6) is reserved for essays that "have it all" - including pretty much perfect grammar and spelling using sophisticated language.

But a 4.5 or higher is considered good enough on the GMAT - as long as you score in that range, you're fine.

When you write an essay for a particular course, your lecturer will give you some guidelines
-Structure is made easier by former planning
-Makes it clear how you are going to address the question, where you are going and why
-Sets out your main thoughts clearly
-Makes it clear how the main ideas relate to each other
-Helps the reader to remember what you’ve said
-Organizes groups of related information in paragraphs
-Uses connecting words and phrases to relate each point later
-State your common conclusions.

Writing an academic paper is not always an easy work for many students. A lot of work is required, and not all students are ready to use their best skills to complete the task. Essay writing review sites are helpful at the start to choose the very best essay writing company. So you can buy custom essays online it in all for your writing work.

Here it goes:

1. Introduction
Hook ( to attract your reader's attention)
General background info
Thesis statement ( one sentence summary/ prediction of the whole essay)

2. Body
Topic Sentence
Supporting sentences
Concluding Sentence ( optional)
Transition Sentence (optional)

3. Conclusion
It cna be a restatement of the thesis, suggestion, opinion, prediction...

You cannot go wrong with this basic structure.... Depending on how many paragraphs you want or need in your essay, the body paragraph structure can be repeated as many times as needed..

Good luck with your exam, let me know how it went and if it helped at all..

Nor check with online essay writing company or buy custom essays online.
