Essay Writing

02/02/10
Today, Mr Teo taught us on essay writing. We would be learning how to do expository writing now. In the expository writing, there must be a introduction,body and finally a conclusion. In the introduction, there must be a "grabber" which capture a reader's attention. It must also set the context which is who,what,when,why,where and finally how. It must also consist of the thesis, which states the main point of essay. In the body, there should be three paragraphs, which ought to consist of 1 point in each paragraph. In each paragraph, we should always P(point) E(elaborate) and E(example). Lastly, the conclusion must consist of the restatement of thesis and the statement that encourages furthur talk on the issue. Mr Teo also gave us a sample five paragraph essay. He told us about two types of essay, which are the argumentative essay, which argues about the point of view and expository essay which presents points to readers.
