Other first-year students in my class who were not interested in writing an essay and even to scratch your head wondering how important it is wise to write them. They ask that the issue in light of the burden of doing various academic works, and reviewing and studying, they have to do studies. Some students who know themselves say, for example, the reason to write an essay about themselves when they could always get help from a series of web-based services to provide essay writing services at affordable prices that read on the Internet. They contribute an essay to justify the service, saying they are busy doing other important tasks, and have the extra money anyway.


When my friends asked me questions like how important is the test anyway?, And how can theses help others to contribute their qualifications? I always tell them what to do on their own to write the test procedures for the implementation of a comprehensive search of library research, reading and analysis through many books, magazines and other reading materials to help them develop their skills in research, analysis and analytical thinking that would be helpful as they advance in their studies in the months ahead. On the question of how the tests could help my friends, the answer to how it helps the writing test that allows them to show and demonstrate our teachers the level of competence and mastery of the material we learned in our studies.

Sunday, 26 June 2011


       A general paper essay or also known as GP essay is a literary composition in which a student is given the option of selecting his own essay topic and the student should prove in the essay that he could argue and discuss the topic with authority and in an effective way. I was in the year 12 at a sixth form college when we began to start the GP essay writing tasks. I learned that compared to the previous five-paragraph essays that we did in secondary school, the general paper essay followed a specific format and writing style based on the academic style guide provided by our lecturer.

I was initially confused in learning how to write a GP essay, but thanks to the essay writing lessons provide to us by our lecturer and the reading and studying that I did in the library, I eventually learned the basic guidelines for writing a general paper essay and apply those guidelines in my GP essay writing task. So now I am sharing with everyone the things I learned in writing my GP essay so that you would overcome the same essay writing problems that I encountered.

The guidelines in writing a general paper essay:

·         You should listen to the instructions provided by the lecturer such as the specific style guide for the format and the citation style for the bibliography and references. For the topic selection, our lecturer told us to avoid topics that are very general or vague, but instead select a specific topic that is feasible for us to perform a thorough research and possible for use to write about the topic within the submission deadline.

·         The structure of GP essays are similar to university essays that have a comprehensive introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction has a thesis statement that presents the argument, the body discusses the arguments and the supporting facts or evidence, and the conclusion summarises the discussions from the body.

  • Revisit the thesis statement and add ideas or arguments as necessary so that anyone who reads the essay will be able to tell what you are discussing without necessarily reading it word for word.
  • On your discussion in the main body of the essay, make sure to elaborate on each of the supporting sentences and ensure the smooth flow of ideas by making good transition sentences from one paragraph to the next.
  • For the conclusion, do not forget to touch on the main concepts of the paper and address the points indicated in your thesis statement.
