How i should prepare my essay paper

Sources of knowledge for the preparation of Essay.

I will suggest the following sources:

ONE, get the following reference books:

A)DICTIONARY OF POLITICS;

B)DICTIONARY OF ECONOMICS;

c)DICTIONARY OF SOCIOLOGY.

All above dictionaries are of Penguin Publication.

Acquaint yourself with the major terminologies and the perspectives (Schools of thought) of the afore-mentioned disciplines.

TWO, always read current ECONOMIC SURVEY OF PAKISTAN. It contains valuable information regarding the policies of the Government.

THREE, there is another very important document, currently available on the website of Finance Division. That is POVERTY REDUCTION AND GROWTH FACILITY(PRGF)Paper II. This will make your concepts crystal-clear.

FOUR, make it your habit to read the REPORTS prepared by different renowned organizations like WORLD BANK etc. I recommend World Bank’s annual Development Report and Mehboob-ul-Haq Centre’s yearly report on different issues.

FIVE, a famous source of knowledge for the students: NEWSPAPER. Yes it is a good source if one can consult it properly.


I ve mentioned the sources. There are many other documents, reports and periodicals which can be cited here but we want to be good examinee and not scholars. So try to consult these books and sources of knowledge.

These things may sound difficult but I assure you these are very simple, interesting and easy to comprehend.
Now, I will discuss the organization of Essay and how to consult these sources of knowledge.

There is a lot of confusion about giving a sketch and headings in an essay.
My findings are……..giving sketch at the start of an essay is one of the good practice.
I recommend that a sketch before the essay gives your reader the idea of what you have given in the essay. It makes his work easy and the more you make for the examiner his work easy the more you will get marks.

As far as headings are concerned, they were previously not appreciated and were considered negative. Though the trend has changed and a few headings are not discouraged nowadays. Still you don't know about the one who checks and as it is against the basic rules of essay to give headings so can be a negative point. It is better not to give headings and underline the part of the sentence in your para which should make your reader understand what is about the paragraph. This is enough to make his work easy.

How to prepare for essay

It is easy to prepare an essay. When you go through the newspaper collect the important editorials in the form of cuttings. Make in your mind different topics and collect relevant info regarding those topics.

In your free time think about those topics and make in your mind the introduction of these topics, the conclusions, motivational phases and own view points. Also think about different points which you can discuss in the body of the essay. If possible make sketch of the complete essay. This practice will help you in getting grip on essay writing. Once you have your mind tuned to such activities then it will not be difficult for you to write an essay on any topic. You can also practice it on a rough page. While reading different topics in News papers or magazines collect different paragraphs which can make a good start or ending for the essay material.

For essays...The material for essay needs a vast study and includes your complete background of your education and life long study but one can get through these materials to prepare the best essay...
1. DAWN Newspaper

2. Strategic Studies Digest Quarterly Digest(issued by Strategic studies Centre, Islamabad)
3. national Development and Security Quarterly Digest(issued by Friends Association Of Mirza Aslam Baig, rawalpindi)

4. Economist Magazine.

5. Contemporary Affairs

From the first three one can collect complete essays and all relevant info required. Similarly one can follow the styles of these magazines. One can collect some good sentences, good words and material for introduction as well as Conclusion. Besides that one needs some relevant and most appropriate quotations. Which one can collect from these books.

The outline or sketch is given before the essay which gives the complete picture of what you will be discussing in the essay.
