Parts of an
Essay

2. An essay usually has three main parts.
They are an introduction, a body (supporting
paragraphs) and a conclusion (a summary
paragraph).

3. 1. An Introduction
An introduction paragraph is the first part
of your essay. We recommend you to write
approximately three to five sentences in
your introduction. However, you may write
more than five sentences, but not less than
two sentences.

4. Your introduction paragraph is divided
into three sub-parts:
1. A hook is the first sentence in your
introduction paragraph. The purpose of the
hook is attracting a potential reader’s
attention. You may write the relevance of the
topic in the first sentence of your essay.

5. 2. An introduction of the topic is the next
sentence (or the next sentences, in case if you
have more than three sentences in your
introduction paragraph).
Give some background information in this sub-
part of your introduction paragraph (you may
quote different appropriate phrases of the
famous writers, artists or politicians; you may
write a relevant anecdote; you may also mention
some interesting facts according to your theme;
or you may explain the definitions of some
terms in your essay).

6. 3. A thesis statement is the last
sentence (or the last sentences)
in your introduction paragraph.
You have to give an answer to
the question: “What is your
opinion about the theme?”.

7. Suppose you write an argumentative essay on
the theme “Should it be a Free School Meal
for Every Child?”.
You may start your essay with a direct
question to your imaginary reader like this:
“Have you ever thought how much money
our government spend on free school meals
for all primary schoolboys and schoolgirls?”.
Then write about the concrete loss of free
school meals. After that, you may argue that a
free school meal is a luxury for our state.

8. 2. A Body
A body is the second paragraph of
your essay. You may write several
body paragraphs in your essay. The
amount of supporting paragraphs is
not restricted. Write so many body
paragraphs as you need to prove
your point of view.

9. If you write an argumentative essay, you may start the
first supporting paragraph with explaining the position
of people whose opinion is diametrically opposed of
yours.
Show that you understand their arguments: 1) having
dinner in time is necessary for children’s health; 2)
children have to eat healthy products, but not fast food;
3) some families are too poor; 4) many parents are too
busy to make dinners for their children, etc.

10. Demonstrate your own point of view in the
second part of your body paragraphs.
Remember that the explanations of your
own point of view have to be more
convincing than the evidence of people
whose opinion is contrary of yours.
Write something like this: “Yes, children
have to eat in time. It would be good for
their health. However, they don’t like these
free school meals and don’t eat this food”.

11. You may give an example from your own
experience. Describe the situation where
your former classmate used to place these
free school meals in his schoolbag (of
course, surreptitiously) to throw this food
out on the way to home.

12. 3. A Conclusion
A conclusion paragraph is the
third part of your essay. This
part of your essay summarizes
the main idea.

13. A summary paragraph usually is divided into
three sub-parts:
1. A summary of the essay.
2. The keys to solve the problems (if there are any).
3. An address to your imaginary reader with some
constructive suggestions.
For example, the last sentence may be like this:
“Dear readers! Let’s write the letter to our President
with the request to abolish free school meals, as it is
uneconomical for the state”.
