The body is where you:
  •  answer the question by developing a discussion.
  •  show your knowledge and grasp of material you have read.
  •  offer exposition and evidence to develop your argument.
  •  use relevant examples and authoritative quotes.
If your question has more than one part, structure the body into sections that deal with each part of the question.

  •  restate your answer to the question
  •  re-summarise the main points
  •  include a final, broad statement (about possible implications, future directions for research, to qualify the conclusion etc).
However, NEVER introduce new information or ideas in the conclusion - its purpose is to round off your essay by summing up.
