Dear SureshLasi/ Any other Honourable Senior Members,

I am thankful to you for your kind efforts to make this forum such an informative one. I want to ask you following few questions:-
1. How to start a practice for Essay writting for a new comer? (Zero point start)
2. If we start practicing essay writting then is it necessary to let our work check by someone? because we usually do not find experts physically in hometown or difficult to get time for checking on daily basis.
3. How much grammer effects? I mean how can we evaluate our own writting in terms of grammer, sentence structure, vocabulary used? do we used difficult words in essay?
3. Please suggest us the way of practicing english essay ? I mean how should we start building our vocabulary, how should we write about topics, how should we start..
4. Last but not the least, I am sharing my own experience. I have tried to write down essay on any given topic but found difficulty after writting two three pages. Found myself in no mans land because of no more words available to me to write more, limited ideas and much more. Please suggest how can we give length to our essay.

I hope you got my point. Please take your time and provide valuable inputs for us(Aspirants).

Best Regards,

Farhaj.

First of all, to write an essay, one must learn how to write a simple paragraph. the best way of writing is to write what you read in daily routine and get it checked.
Essentials of Essay:
Introduction of the Essay:
Introduction usually consist of two things ( Motivator+ thesis Statement), one may start their intro with the quotation , an anecdote, dialogue, opposite opinion etc but one should keep in their mind that whatever they write should be relevant and the purpose of all these method is to catch the attention of the reader which is, ultimately, followed by Thesis statement(statement which one tries to prove in their essay).
In addition, Intro may also be the precis/summary of your whole essay which should be around 150 to 200 words. In sum, you whole essay should be look like that:
1. Introduction ( Consist of Motivator + Thesis Statement) then,
2. Body
Body consist of paragraphs
Paragraph consist of:
the Topic sentence(First sentence of your paragraph which is the base of your paragraph and which one must prove). Topic sentence is followed by the Specific supports( the support which proves one,s topic sentence)
Specific support consist of three kinds of support:
- Statements by authority
- Examples
- statistics
then,
3.Conclusion:
Conclusion contains,
Reworded Thesis Statement + Clincher( Clincher is your final statement which shows that your essay has been finished.
Moreover,Conclusion may be the complete summary of your essay as well but in different words.Regards.

i have started prepating for css a month before. i have some problem with my mind that i m not satisfied with what i do, i think i m not confident enough to clear the exam. about essay writing., i m at sea. seniors help me to tackle this problem of nerves.i was very good in my acdemic exams but now i dont know what to do

For essay try to write small paragraph and consult with english teacher then move to long essay and also make oultlines of some define and current topics.

Every year, scores of candidates strive to attain good marks in the CSS exam. However, results are often disappointing as is evident from the recent written result of October 2012 in which less than eight percent of the contestants were declared successful. Apparently, the candidates are given an impression that they are lacking in ability. To reach a more accurate and impartial conclusion, one needs to dig a bit deeper by unveiling the unjust and wicked system behind all this. Basically, since Jinnah’s death, the pursuit and production of knowledge in this country has taken place within a narrow, ideological framework and biased historiography. Even a CSS aspirant has to confine himself to laboriously constructed religious and historical myths by our official spin-doctors, a slight deviation from which proves enough to wreak havoc on one’s result. This holds especially true in the case of Pakistan Affairs, Current Affairs, History and Islamic Studies papers in which the marks allotted are shockingly low. Indeed, a selection process that values learning by rote, rather than depth and breadth of knowledge, and assigns marks accordingly, is not only unbalanced, poor and rotten, but also breeds corruption and mediocrity in the long run.

Truth be told, intolerance for independent thinking has already done incalculable damage to this country. Since the whole nation is educated on stereotyped and suppressive lines, it has ceased to have a mind of its own. It has been years since a great intellectual, original artist, honest administrator or a brave soul came out of this country’s soil. I am one of the unfortunate sufferers of the CSS 2012 exams and firmly believe that I have been punished for my creative streak and unorthodox leanings. Plato rightly asks Socrates in The Republic, “Who will guard us from the guardians” if the latter begin to misuse their power? Undoing the earlier result and conducting a fairer and objective re-evaluation of the papers are still within the domain of the revered chairman. Owing to his responsible position, one hopes that he will seriously look into the matter and will come up with an active and just solution in the larger interest of the suffering candidates.

thank youuuuu for your points and guidance regarding essay..its really beneficial. i will surely follow it and make my essays good by continuous practise of it...
