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:
Introduction ( Consist of Motivator + Thesis Statement) then,
Body
Body consist of paragraphs
Paragraph contains:
the Topic sentence which is followed by the Specific supports,
Specific support consist of three kinds of support:
- Statements by authority
- Examples
- statistics
then,
Conclusion:
Conclusion contains,
Reworded Thesis Statement + Clincher( Clincher is your final statement which shows that your essay has been finished.
Yeah Conclusion may be the complete summary of your essay as well but in different words.
Hope it helps.
Good luck!

After your introduction, you may define your topic. say you are going to write essay on disaster management, your outline would be like that:
Outline
1. Introduction
2. Disaster; definition and types
3. Disaster management
4. Phases of disaster management;
5. .................................................. ....etc

1. First answer your question in a list format. If someone on the street asked you "why be normal", without going into any detail, how would you anwer the question. Just list the anwers. No explanations needed. Try to think of concrete answers. "Because it is stupid" will not work so well but, "trying to be normal puts undo stress on a person" or "being normal is just another way of giving into peer pressure" give you much more to work with.


2. Choose about 4 or 5 of the best answers from your list that you want to elaberate on. These will be your main points in the essay.

3. Next, take each point and list any supporting evidence that you can use to elaberate. You need definitions, statistics, examples, quotes from famous people or from psychologists (make sure to cite your sources and do not plagarize ideas) etc...
Concentrate on one point at a time. Gather as much supporting evidence as you can. You can always skim down later. You are still in the organizing stage so it is ok to have too much to work with than not enough.
It may work well to get 3x5 cards and list each piece of info on a card that will support your point. You need much more than your opinion so go do some research.
Remember: You are NOT trying to find supporting evidence on the broad topic of being normal. There may not be much out there. But finding evidence on peer pressure will be much easier.

4. Once you have all the supporting evidence for each individual point you will make in your essay now is the time to decide what to use. You need to break down your essay into beginning, middle, and end. Plan to write about 2 good solid paragraphs for your beginning, and 2 good solid paragraphs for your end. That leaves a lot for the middle. With a 5 page essay you can discuss 5 points in a little less than 1 page each point. You can discuss 4 points in a little more than 1 page each.
So, from your cards with supporting evidence, pick out the most solid and interesting pieces of info that you can write about. Some pieces of evidence may need a few paragraphs to explain, others may need only one. Toss aside the cards you will not be using and keep only the ones you will be discussing in your essay (do not throw away yet).

These are some of the tips that you can use in your essay writing also you can refer essays from essay writing review. They are really excellent in providing essays on any of the topic.

Selected topic should be interested. Collect information about it. Topic creation, outline preparation and writing different topics should be written with more care. Editing should not be forgotten, as this step is very much important to point out all mistakes be it grammatical or related to improper structuring of sentences.

Length of the essay very from topic to topic. The most important thing is to cover all the areas which are demanded by the examiner.Moreover, length does not make any difference if your essay is written in a good manner and fulfilling all the requirements of the essay. Average essay will be of 22-25 pages including your outline.
Note: count one side of the page one.

I think thats the only way that can compete the Size of the Essay required

E-g essay on hardwroking
what would you suggest if i put some ayats hadeets and the events of his companions and some quatoation of the muslim scholor

I know thats will some how look as an islamic Essay But thats seems to me only way to success

Please help

Yeah, you can write ayat, hadith or related stuff to Islamiyat becoz they'll show you different from others but the main main and important point is that it should b related to the topic otherwise it will have huge blunder, therefore mostly people avoid to take risk..

Education is most powerful weapon which u can use to change the world.

Minimum 18 pages are good enough but the thing is that You could have cover all the essentials about the topic and one page must contain 90-100 words each, you can quote stuff from other languages but it must be relevant to the topic.

Smile Essay Writing Tips

It isn’t enough to make sure that you have an introduction at the start, a conclusion at the end, and the other stuff in between. So what do you need?

1. You do need a solid introduction. It will probably contain something about how you have interpreted the question, and it is often a good idea to state a thesis (an argument) which you are going to illustrate or explore in the body of the essay – although you may prefer to save the ‘findings’ of your exploration to the end, in which case you have to introduce the question carefully at the start.

2. And you need a tight, powerful conclusion which is the logical consequence of everything that has gone before. The good essay has developed a number of related strands which the conclusion ties together. It may also contain an extra, surprising thing which you saved to throw in at the end with a flourish.

3. So what happens in between? Well… Six really awful ways to begin the
essay ‘Why have baked beans become so popular in twentieth
century Britain?’: “The question of why baked beans have become so popular in twentieth century Britain is an interesting…” “The Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘baked beans’ as…” “In this essay I will explore the
question of why baked beans have become so popular in twentieth…”
“The Penguin English Dictionary defines ‘popular’ as…”
“The twentieth century has been going for quite a while now and…”
“The Collins English Dictionary defines ‘twentieth century’ as…”
! Why are these awful? Because they are so predictable, uninspiring
and limp. What should you do instead? Something else.

You need to organise your material so that it flows from one area, sub-section or argument to the next in a logical order. Each part should build upon, or at least reasonably follow on from, the previous parts, and the whole thing should be pulling the reader, clearly and inescapably, to your
triumphant conclusion. The box on the right shows unimaginative kinds of
essay structure, which are likely to get low marks. But what can you do instead? One good approach is to look through your notes and identify a handful of themes within the discussion, and to structure your essay around consideration of those. You should order the analysis of each theme so that the essay builds up towards the conclusion.
