How to write an essay ??

When we want to write about a topic in more detail, we can turn our paragraph into an essay. We write a paragraph composing three sections, these are topic sentence, body, and concluding sentence. Similar to a paragraph, an essay is also composed of three sections. These are introductory paragraf, supporting paragraph (body of paragraph), and concluding paragraph. The topic sentence of the paragraph becomes the thesis statement of the essay, which comes at the end of the introductory paragraph. The supporting sentences of the paragraph become the topic sentence in an essay in several paragraphs based on our topic or idea. . And the last is the concluding sentence is made into a concluding paragraph.

The first paragraph in an essay is introductory paragraph. The function of introductory paragraph is to get readers’ attention and to introduce the subject of the essay. There are many ways for writer to get the redaers’ attention in an introductory paragraph. First is Anecdote, it is a brief story that illustrated the topic.
