In future posts, I will go into more detail about how to structure each part of the essay. Basically, though, it goes like this:

INTRODUCTION: Start with a general topic statement, narrow the focus of the topic, and then state what this essay is about. If you have to give one opinion, state it here.

BODY PARAGRAPHS: Start with a short, direct sentence which states the topic of the paragraph. This is called a topic sentence, and all other parts of the paragraph develop the main idea mentioned here. If you have a new idea, move on to a new paragraph. Make sure that if the question has several parts, each part is addressed clearly and equally in its own paragraph.

CONCLUSION: Recap the main argument or discussion of your essay, then very briefly summarise the key points you've made. Finish with a final statement on the topic, such as a recommendation or a prediction. If in doubt, write a conditional sentence. (Just start with 'if' or 'Unless'.)

Make sure your plan is written using KEY WORDS ONLY. Do not write in full sentences, though you might make note of key language you might use. Think about preparing to write well-controlled, complex sentences. Having a good plan is really useful for this, because you're not stuck thinking of ideas at the same time as you are trying to express them.
