2) Actual writing phase
After the pre-writing step, it is time to go on with the actual writing, which takes around 30 minutes if organized
well. This step includes writing different paragraphs of the essay. Note that the essay type does not affect
paragraph organization. Different paragraphs of an essay are as follows:
Introduction
The introduction is one of the essential sections of an essay as it assists the writer make their first impression.
There are two main sentences in an introduction: the first sentence paraphrases the given topic to avoid repetition.
In doing so, as mentioned earlier, synonyms, similar words, different word forms, or different sentence structures
are used to paraphrase the topic without making changes in its meaning; otherwise, the essay will be likely to go
off-topic. The second sentence , the thesis statement, clarifies the writer’s position (their opinion, if asked in the
topic) and shows the essay type. Using a passive “It clause,” such as “It is believed that…”, “It is argued that…”,
“It is accepted that…” is a great way to start an introduction.
Body paragraph 1
Depending on the type of essay, this paragraph introduces the first cause or effect of something, gives the first
reason to agree or disagree with the given statement, suggests the first solution, or outlines the first advantage or
disadvantage.
Body paragraph 2
The second body paragraph similarly continues with the second reason to agree or disagree with the given topic,
mentions the second leading cause or effect of something, explains the second solution to a problem, or outlines
the second merit or demerit of a situation.

Conclusion
The conclusion is the last paragraph of the essay that makes the final impression, which is as significant as the first
impression. It is a short paragraph that includes two sentences: the first sentence summarizes the main ideas
mentioned in the body paragraphs, while the second sentence focuses on the writer’s opinion and or the essay type.
In other words, it summarizes the topic sentences and the thesis statement. In case the topic had never asked for the
writer’s opinion, there is no need to give one either in the “introduction” or in the “conclusion.” A critical point
about the conclusion is that it should never include any new ideas as there is no room to develop them at the end of
the essay.
