Constructing an Essay
Formulating a thesis is a vital part of constructing an essay. Essay writing is a skill which can be learned, practised and improved. In addition to this general quiz, try our quizzes on specific aspects of essay writing, such as writing a conclusion, writing an introduction, constructing an argument and writing about literature.
This quiz is a good introduction to the mechanics of essay writing.
1 .
Your writing should be coherent. What does this mean?
It should be clear and logical

4 .
How many paragraphs should you plan to write?
A paragraph for each point, plus one each for the introduction and the conclusion
Seven paragraphs exactly
As few paragraphs as possible
As many paragraphs as possible
Seven paragraphs is actually a perfectly decent length for an essay, but the number of paragraphs is dictated by the number of points which you plan to make (and you wouldn't skip the planning stage, would you?)
5 .

7 .
After you finish writing an essay, you should...
proofread it
hand it in immediately
tear it up and start again
lose it
It's so easy to make mistakes when writing, probably because writers edit themselves continually. Always check for mistakes
