✏️ Before You Write: Plan Like a Pro

1.​ Understand the Task:​


Read the question carefully. What are you being asked to do? (e.g. discuss both views, give your
opinion, describe a graph, write a letter?)​

2.​ Brainstorm Ideas Quickly:​


Spend 2-3 minutes listing key points or arguments. Don’t write full sentences yet—just bullets.​

3.​ Organize Your Structure:​


Use this basic structure for most academic writing:​

○​ Introduction​

○​ 2–3 body paragraphs​

○​ Conclusion​

🧱 Structure: Your Secret Weapon


1. Introduction

●​ Paraphrase the question (use synonyms, change the structure).​

●​ Add your opinion (if required) or a short preview of points.​

2. Body Paragraphs

●​ Start with a clear topic sentence.​

●​ Give one main idea, explain it, and give an example.​

●​ Use linking words (Moreover, However, For example, As a result).​

3. Conclusion

●​ Don’t add new ideas!​

●​ Summarize your key point(s) or restate your opinion.​

To add ideas: furthermore, in addition, also, besides​
To give examples: for instance, for example, such as​

🪄 Style & Clarity Tips


1.​ Use formal tone (especially in essays or reports).​

2.​ Avoid contractions (write do not instead of don’t).​

3.​ Be clear and direct – short sentences > complicated ones.​

4.​ Avoid repeating the same word—use synonyms.​

5.​ Check your spelling, punctuation, and grammar.​
