What is an Essay?
 An essay is a long piece of composition. It
is often considered synonymous with a
story or a paper or an article.

which are more personal and often have
humorous elements.

s.th.

cause and effect essays etc.

Tips for Writing a Good
Essay
 Give your essays an interesting and appropriate title. It
will help draw the attention of the reader and pique
their curiosity
 Keep it between 300-500 words. This is the ideal length,

 Keep your language simple and crisp. Unnecessary
complicated and difficult words break the flow of the

plot rough draft or outline. This way you can ensure
the story will flow and not be an unorganized mess.
