Criticisizing an Essay or presenting the stuff against anyone or even Government is not the problem. But present facts and reality not your own ideas or your perception.
If you have written facts that are happening in reality is not the problem even if they are against or Government, but the care should be to present the arguments. Saying something wrong is not enough but to prove how is it wrong is the matter.

Do not worry about your Essay if you have provided argumentive and reasoning stuff in your Essay.
Mostly it happens that few of the candidates criticise or go against of some hot issue they beat about the bush and can not make the proper reasoning for critisizing it.
For example: There are many people who does not support the Kala Bagh Dam but only few of the people can prove why not to support Kala Bagh Dam and they can write a good stuff with sound reasons.

"Do not write so that you can be understood, write so that you cannot be misunderstood."
-- Epictetus

Now that you have a solid outline, it's time to knit the point-form bits together into formal prose. Part of this will just be creating proper sentences out of the notes, but much of it will be putting in your analysis and segues. It is this second part that makes the difference between a ho-hum regurgitation and an essay that actually has something to say. In my opinion, it is the main difference between a B paper and an A paper. Anyone can read and regurgitate, but it takes skill to analyse and bring things together to make an overall coherent point.

Writing your essay is like building a brick wall: if you leave gaping holes all over the place, the entire structure will be weak at best, and may crumble entirely. Even though you're now educated on your topic and think much of it is obvious, it is essential to assume your reader doesn't know much about the topic, unless otherwise specified in the assignment. You should assume your reader knows what the average layperson knows about the subject and write accordingly. This means you should explain what things do, who people are, and how it all fits together instead of just assuming something about your topic is common knowledge. It is better to have a couple sentences that are obvious than to leave the reader confused.

But writing to be understood takes more than stating all the facts. It means your prose itself must be clear and uncomplicated. You can explain very complex ideas without having complex text. This does not mean you should dumb-down your vocabulary. It means that you should make sure you're using words correctly in proper grammatical sentences. If you don't know what a word means or how to use it, look it up or don't use it. Your prose should be free of ambiguity. Sentences should not be choppy, but neither should they run on beyond a single idea. Paragraphs should be logical structures, not random space breaks. If you must say something in a complicated way spanning several sentences, try adding a sentence to summarize the idea. In other words, make every effort possible to be clear about each point in the essay.

(Notice that the last sentence of the above paragraph does precisely what the second last sentence suggests.)

- I believe that one should not be overconfident to choose a topic, on which he/she had not strong grasp, like philosophical topic

- Although one should put such stuff to differentiate from others.

- Give ur own dynamic ideas.

- No static stuff

- No repeating

- Present in precise, coherent and comprehensive way.

- Good command on Grammar.

- The Last, U can do it

hi Khuram, i require a bit of clearification here. when you say an essay should be analytical and compherensive, are you implying the word analyical in its plain meaning, which is to take something apart and analyse its different components or parts individually. or are you implying the philosophical meaning of the word, which states that the truth-value of the proposition is to be determined solely by the virtue of the meaning of the words. so which one is it?

AoA Seniors,
my first question what is the ideal length of paragraphs in essays.
my second question we should discuss one issue in one paragraph? For example there are different reasons of failure of democracy in pakistan, only one reason should be discussed in one paragraph or we can discuss more than one reasons in one paragraph

There is no hard and fast rule for both of your Questions. But,
Ideal Length is one page or 100 words. You can change the same depending upon the matter you are discussing in para. Like you can not finish your para on single page without the comments of that para.
Secondly, If you are discussing the main points of your outline, then discuss only one issue in a single paragragh.
Sometimes you have to give hint of many issues in single paragraph, then you can discuss as many issues as you can.
Tips do count in Essay writing but main thing is PRACTICE. Once you start writing, You will come to know the answers of all these questions.

I have been facing following difficulties in Essay writing.
1 what is included in introduction?
After going through various posts on this forum I came to know that Conclusion is the summary of the whole essay that we are going to write. Am I true?
For example I am writing an essay on Corruption in Pakistan, then I must discuss definition of corruption , present situation In Pakistan , its causes and effects in Pakistan ?
2 how many paragraphs introduction should consist?

20 Tips For Winning Writing

Tip 1. Always adhere to traditional standards of correctness (see above). A contest is not the time to throw the rule book away. This applies most strongly in writing contests which are run by universities or colleges.

Tip 2. If it says Literature contest, that’s what it means. They are looking for subtlety, depth, a subtext, creativity, and clever (even poetic) use of language; an emphasis on interesting often dark characters, and setting rather than plot.

Tip 3. If it says Writing competition, well written popular fiction is what will win. Now your emphasis must be on plot. You need a great opening line and an absorbing plot. Plot follows your main character’s conflict. Give this person an interesting difficult tussle of some kind. Your story ends when your character has resolved the conflict against all odds.

Tip 4. If it states a particular theme in the rules, then that theme must be intrinsic to your story.

Tip 5. Whatever kind of work you are writing, title is everything. The title is the judge’s first impression of your work. Spend time thinking of something relevant to the story that is eye catching and appealing.

Tip 6. Use your delete key. Read and reread your work. That paragraph you really like that you spent hours over. Does it advance your story? No? Then delete it. Does your story only get going on the second page? Delete page one.

Tip 7. Short stories work best from a single point of view. Don’t confuse the judge.

Tip 8. Does your entry use the right tense? Present tense may be fashionable but it doesn’t work for every story. If your story is immediate and all is happening now, use present tense. If it spans a time period coming up to the present use past tense.

Tip 9. Strive for active rather than passive voice.

Tip 10. Do not use real people for your characters. Real people in fiction are boring. Your main character should be larger than life yet still believable.

Tip 11. Do not use exclamation marks except possibly for a single word exclamation such as “Ouch!”

Tip 12. Beware of clichés. It is easy to use one without noticing.

Tip 13 Use strong verbs rather than adverbs. Likewise avoid strings of adjectives and NEVER write “suddenly.”

Tip 14 . Try to write something DIFFERENT. Think of the poor judge reading hundreds of stories set in her home country; then she gets to a well written entry set in Antarctica.

Tip 15. If you know who the judge will be, read his work; try to read the entries of previous winners. Do everything you can to fit your entry to the contest.

Tip 16. Use the entry form for all your details. NEVER put your name on the manuscript.

Tip 17. Font: Use 12 point Times New Roman or Arial unless the rules ask for something else.

Tip 18. Some contests give you a choice between paper or online entry. Choose paper whenever you can and pay the postage. Emailing submissions (unless as a Word attachment) can play havoc with your careful formatting.

Tip 19. Please do not decorate your manuscript or add that nice picture of your pet dog or the photo of yourself. All that work to end up shredded. Don’t add a cute little note for the judge (Yes some people do).

Tip 20. Proofread, proofread and do it again. If entering online print out to check your work. Read it out loud to yourself. If judges can’t decide between two entries and one is missing a comma or has a word spelled incorrectly and the other has been submitted perfectly set-out without typos; guess which one will win?

Furthermore, Introduction usually consist of two things ( Motivator+ thesis Statement), but the method to grab the attention of the reader and your stance i.e Thesis Statement vary writer to writer. you may start your intro with the quotation , a anecdote, dialogue, opposite opinion etc but keep one thing in your mind that whatever you write should be relevant and the purpose of all these method is one that is to catch the attention of your reader followed by Thesis statement.
In addition, Intro may also be the precis/summary of your complete essay.
Good luck!

In addition, Intro may also be the precis/summary of your complete essay which should be around 150 to 200 words. In sum, you whole essay should be look like that:
