hi,
I have a few questions related to the essay...

1- Can we use sub headings?

2- should I actually give just an idea or thesis of the essay in the introduction and gradually explore the reasoning behind it? or should I start from a basic definition and slowly reach my point in the 2nd 3rd paragraph?

3- Lastly, can someone help me with the quotations? Are quotations necessary? how do you know which topic you're going to select that you'll know the appropriate quotations?

Awaiting your response!

1- Can we use sub headings?

No You cannot. It is prohibited.However, Very few have passed the paper with giving headings. Still it avoid using it is better for us.

2- should I actually give just an idea or thesis of the essay in the introduction and gradually explore the reasoning behind it? or should I start from a basic definition and slowly reach my point in the 2nd 3rd paragraph?

Thesis statement is necessary in Essay, especially general essays. However, There are certain essays that which need to be defined first then to be explored such as essays on Science.

3- Lastly, can someone help me with the quotations? Are quotations necessary? how do you know which topic you're going to select that you'll know the appropriate quotations?


You can pass the paper without giving quotations. If you don't find any suitable quotation, leave it otherwise you will face penalty. You may give at least 4 quotations in one single essay. Try to remember general quotations related to hot topics. All the best for your paper. Pray for me as well...

Can you helpme with a few things.
a) What do you mean by thesis statement. and should it be given in the very beginning.?
b) the outline which we will be following while writing our essay ...should it be given at the very top and then the esaay should be followed by given headings of each topic in the outline or should we just keep on writing with out highlighting the respectives topics?

a) A thesis statement is a statement or a plan that you are going to discuss in essay body in other words it is whole some of your essay in just two lines. It is usually places at the end of your Introduction Paragraph.

b) Outline is the skeleton of essay. It is to be drawn before you start writing your essay, while in essay there is no need of writing your point in heading. However, You need to write in each paragraph a topic sentence that is like an expansion of your idea that you have mentioned in your outline.

Do we have to give heading of "introduction" for introduction paragraph?

suppose i am writing essay on corruption: its causes and effects
then my introduction should consist of summary of my whole essay followed by thesis statement at the end.(am i right). Plz guide me as i am new aspirant.
my 2nd question
introduction should start with definition of a topic or the topic should be defined in the body, written after introduction.For example introduction should begin these sentences
corruption is the mother of all ills........
OR
introduction should begin with these words corruption is the misuse of authority for private gain......(Definition of the topic)

As l am not senior to guide you appropriately, but l think outlines of introductory paragraph are important for a glimpse on the content of it,...!!

nw ball goes to seniors court...!!!

Normal essay can impress examiner to some extent, But if we use language which has been used by Englush Scholars i.e T.S.Eliot, Earnest Hemingway, G.B.Shaw etc.This essay would impress the examiner to a great extent.Length does not matter, Major thing is the thought behind every sentance.So if you want to score good marks in Essay, read essays by english scholars and adopt their writing style.
Best of Luck....!

Does the length of essay matter? I have heard many confusing things about it. Some say it should be precise and to the point while some say it should be lengthy? I need reliable answers from seniors.
