How to Write a Strong Essay Body

Writing a Strong Essay Body

To write an essay in a manner in which the concepts and ideas are vague, faint and ill-defined is just like a nightmare. As student is demanded to write the well-constructed following all the rules of essay, so you have to present you ideas in a clear way. Let’s in this lesson discuss briefly that how to reach this goal.

Developing Body Paragraphs

Being specific in writing and developing essay will set you apart among all the test takers. So, while writing middle paragraph that excluded the introduction and conclusion, you should focus on evolution.

So ,you are advised to build your paragraph by providing supporting material such as evidences, emotional appeal, examples or some related incident. Be sure to present each and every aspect in a clear manner.

For example:

Let’s consider that you're writing an essay arguing that government should ban the drugs in country to teach the importance of health to man. So, you may break down sentences as:

  • Health is important, and men should know that.
  • Men must learn about healthy life.
  • Men should learn not to use the drugs.

These points are though good ideas but using examples and specific details would help your reader in developing interest. So, write the above points in different paragraphs using some supporting material.

So, let’s develop the first idea - Health is important, and men should know that.- relate it with particular detail to develop properly.

For example:

You might explain that man who learn to care himself well when they're young are energetic in their old age. They are able to save them from destitution in their dotage. Moreover, they tend to become more appreciative for their fitness.

Achieving Unity in Body Paragraphs

Unity concepts s the joining of things together and so that is the case in building essay. We should focused on the interconnection of paragraphs while keep sticking to the main claim. So. For this unity creation avoid using vague ideas. Don’t try to drift from thesis build in advance.

For example:

If you are writing the essay about the banning of drugs so you might explain that man who learn to care himself well when they're young are energetic in their old age. They are able to save them from destitution in their dotage. Moreover, they tend to become more appreciative for their fitness. Rather than writing that drugs are collected from forest’s herbs and are made in industries.

So, jot down your last point related to your main idea in a detoured way.

Achieving Coherence in Body Paragraphs

In order to get coordination in a paragraph, you should present clear and logical ideas along with a rhythm among these ideas. So, flow in essay is much considered as it made your reader capable of developing understanding. Transition helps you to develop such coherence.

For example:

Let consider that you are writing a body paragraph on the premises that government should ban the drugs in country. So to present it in a logical and coherent way relate it to some example. Let you can give the example of drugs destruction in some other country where people had lose their life just because of the ample use of drugs.

So, for great coordination start with main point in a logical order that drugs should be banned and then moving with a chronological, clear order. You could explain that in some other country people had lose their life just because of the ample use of drugs. Then, you might explain that man who learn to care himself well when they're young are energetic in their old age.

In this way you would achieve the coordination in your essay.
