thanks for the very useful information.

please guide how to write, outline, introduction and conclusion for essay.

I attempted the Essay titled 'Gender Equity is a Myth'.

Jamshed Akhtar,

Depending on the topic you select, you have to divide your material into The Introduction, Discussion of main Idea and finally the Conclusion.

The Introduction: (500-1000 words)
Here give the overview of the topic, your own stand on the topic, the background or historic account of the topic.

The Discussion of the Main Idea: (1000-1500 words)
Here discuss the the crux of the topic in detail. give relevant examples, discuss the pros and cons, explore your stand on the topic and the reasons for your stand.

The Conclusion: (500-1000 words)
Wrap up your essay with your final thoughts on it. give your recommendations and suggestions. how do you see the idea in the future etc.

Tip:
Start your essay with a good Quote. throughtout the essay use good quotes relevant to whatever is being discussed at the point and highlight them with a marker.

I hope the Answer helped.
Thanks

What was your point of view? Reality or myth

Can you shed more light on this topic? What did you write? What was your instance? a brief outline would be highly appreciated.

In your opinion, what was the differentiating factor in your essay?

@sobiyah
what kind of quotations should be prepared for different subjects.

My view was that Gender Equity is indeed a myth, even today.

I think what helped me through my essay were the following fact which i guess made it different as well:
1. I am an amateur writer and a keen reader, I having been reading and writing English prose and poetry since I was 8 years. (I can't sleep unless I read something before sleeping)
2. Due to my immense interest in Reading and Writing, I opted for English Literature in my FA and BA.
3. I am a Lecturer in the University now, Though my domain is Management Sciences but I have also taught Business Communication and English to BBA Students.
4. I have studied in Beaconhouse School System.
So I believe all this helped me write with flow and ease.
But most importantly Read alot! helps your expression and vocabulary and Practice writing alot as well. learn quotations and phrases.

Maha, It is difficult to learn quotes specifically for various topics as you do not know what topics you would be presented with. So try to keep in mind as much general quotes that we come across everyday as possible. if you buy and read a book of quotes, that is also not a bad idea. but if you read alot, magazines, books, newspaper etc that will automatically feed you with lot of statements which you can later use in your writing.

I wrote that whether it is woman of the East or west, belongs to any religion, and any era, she has always been the victim of male dominance. though Islam is the biggest advocate of Gender Equity, the Quranic Verses and Ahadith have always been misinterpreted, mistranslated according to the convenience of men. I have discussed important women throughout the history in detail like Cleopatra, Razia Sultana, Jodha, Our Beloved Islamic Women RA and. I discussed the current situation of East and West and the treatment of women everywhere. Rapes, exploitation, glass ceiling, physical and verbal abuse, sexual harassment, suppression in every aspect in detail.
Added lot of Quotes, examples and phrases.

I was also like you, no interest in current affairs or political stuff. there are quarterly current affairs magazines available as well, you can buy them, the latest one. Also buy a latest book of current and international affairs, they will help you alot.
do not try to cram anything, just read and clear your concepts about various topics. write them down in your own words in the exams.
