This week's topic was about ways to improve your essay writing skills. The most important thing when writing an essay is to start off with a strong introduction. The intro should begin the flow and tone of the essay and give a small preview of what the topic is without giving much away. Generally at the end of your intro, there will be a thesis statement. A thesis statement is generally a sentence that states the main points and focus of your essay. It is vital that the thesis statement is well written.
Also important in the essay is transition words which help everything flow together well. Sequential transition words such as "first" and "next" help papers look much more organized. Using transitions helps the reader understand what's going on and makes the writing look much better. And the final part of the essay is the conclusion. Many people make small conclusions that don't mean much, but this is actually very important. The conclusion is the last chance to get your point across to the reader. These components of an essay is what separates the good from the unreadable.
