2. The Steps for Writing a Good Essay
1. The first thing is choosing the theme. If
you have to write an essay on the given
theme, you may narrow it according to
your interests.
For example, if your theme is “Folk
Songs”, you can write several sentences
about folk songs in your country in general,
and then describe wedding dance songs in
details. The more concrete information
attracts more attention. However, you can’t
avoid general information in your text.

3. If your task is writing about folk songs,
mention the main groups of them (the folk
songs are divided into two large groups
which are connected or non-connected with
a ritual; the ritual songs may be calendar or
family, the non-ritual songs are social and
marital).
Then you can indicate that folk wedding
dance songs are family and ritual folk texts.
After that, make a more detailed description
of wedding dance songs.

4. 2. Thinking about the styles of writing is the
second thing you need to do. For example, it
can be a scientific or fiction style.
The golden rule is that you may combine
different styles, but you may not confuse
them. What is the difference between
combining and confusing the styles?

5. If you combine two different styles, it means that
you get one style (you have combined scientific
and fiction styles, as a result, the style of your
whole essay is a science fiction, for instance).
If you confuse two different styles, it means that
you have two different styles in your essay (for
example, you have confused scientific and fiction
styles, as a result, the style of the first part of your
essay is written in the fiction style, the second part
is a scientific one and the third part is in the fiction
style again).

6. The Plan of Your Essay
The third step is making a plan of your
essay.
For example, you write a philosophical
discourse. This type of essays has a
traditional structure:
1. An introduction.
2. A main part.
3. A conclusion.

7. 1. An introduction involves the hypothesis.
If your theme is “The Possibility of Life after
Death”, you may suppose that people live
after death.

8. 2. A main part is an analysis of your theme.
If you suppose that people live after death,
you may give an example of folk stories
about dead men walking. Then argue why
we should believe in these stories.

9. 3. A conclusion is a confirmation (or a
refutation) of the hypothesis. If you have
clear and convincing evidence of living dead
men, your hypothesis is correct and you can
make the conclusion that people really live
after death.
Don’t despair if it is impossible to prove your
theory about life after death. In this case,
you will have a refutation of the hypothesis.
The last result is not worse than the first
one!

10. Some Writing Taboos
Remember about taboos in the essay writing:
1) don’t write the meaningless phrases, as it may
irritate the potential reader;
2) don’t use very long sentences, as it may bore the
reader;
3) don’t make grammatical mistakes, as it may
infuriate the reader;
4) don’t repeat your thoughts using different words,
as it may tire and enrage the reader.
