2. WHAT IS AN ESSAY?
- An essay is a piece of writing several
paragraphs long instead of just one or two
paragraphs. It is written about one topic, just

paragraph. Therefore, the topic is divided
into several paragraphs, one for each major

BODY PARA.
From the other side, daily homework can bring
many disadvantages. For instance, if a person

have no time for his physical activities. So,

intermediate position can be taken.
For example, a student will have to
do his daily homework if he is going
to specialize in this field in the
future.
