How to write a good intro and conclusion?
I have:</p>
<p>Please share ur tips!</p>
<p>at the end of the introductory paragraph is it a good idea to say "i will try to illustrate this point with the help of few examples"</p>
<p>No, don't say "I" in your essay. Essays should never be written from the 1st person</p>
<p>Make stuff up. Make up books, authors, historical events, whatever so you can say stuff relevent to the question. They cannot mark you down for having incorrect facts, but it may hurt if you are on the boarderline for a higher score. They just want to see that you have good ideas and can defend a thesis. I got an 11 and made up one of my two supports. </p>
<p>Also, only plug in 1-3 SAT vocab words because you need them for the 6, but use them correctly and you dont get much more credit if every sentence has a hard word. </p>
<p>Dont use I, We, Me, You, Our, etc</p>
<p>Say everything matter of fact. No reason to be eloquent, just write it down and make it clear. You have 25 minutes, that is not enough time to write a memorable essay. </p>
<p>The hardest part of the essay for me was finding solid support. The easiest way to overcome this is to pick the position you think you have the best support for. If you cannot do this, flip a coin and make up facts. This is not a hard essay to write. Time is the only issue.</p>
<p>NOO Don't say "I will illustrate my whatever" Just do it. They don't want you to tell em, they want you to show em. And, i also agree that if you can avoid using "I", please carry on and avoid.</p>
<p>Planning. 25 minutes is not a lot of time, and it seems like you should use every bit of it writing, but seriously: planning. </p>
<p>I usually write up a quick outline (Points, support, etc...) and work out my thesis sentence before I do anything. Planning stuff out makes writing the essay a whole lot easier, and it's harder to get lost or start rambling in the panic to get words down on the page. It shouldn't be a panic, there should be no rambling. </p>
<p>I often reference my outline while working, and keep in mind exactly what this paragraph is supposed to be about. Does it support this point? Is it relevant to the topic and this point specifically? If not, you have no time to write out that sentence. </p>
<p>In addition, planning gives your essay structure; something lacking in a lot of these quickly jotted papers. </p>
<p>If you find yourself short on time, the outline also provides structure for the last bits that you can squeeze in-- if you only have time to write four more sentences, sum up those last two paragraphs you were planning to write in two sentences each-- you have the point you're making and the evidence you were going to give, it should be easy from there to summarize the main points and possibly save yourself from an essay that cuts off in the middle of a thought.</p>
