    ESSAY WRITING

    Grade 7
    An essay is a piece of writing on a single topic. While some essays serve to inform readers
    about a chosen subject, others aim to persuade readers into believing the author’s viewpoint.
    Essays typically include an introduction, body and conclusion. Here are some different types
    of essays:

    Descriptive essay: In a descriptive essay, you provide readers with a description of


    something such as a place, person or experience.

    Definition essay: A definition essay explains a term or idea. You explain what the topic
    means to help readers better understand the topic overall.

    Argumentative essay: This type of essay allows you to investigate a particular topic.
    You collect and evaluate evidence, establish a position on the topic and provide concrete
    evidence to back up your claims.

    Critical essay: With this essay, you analyze and evaluate a body of text. Not only do you
    state the text's ideas, but you also support the claims it makes with evidence.

    Personal essay: Many jobs and colleges require personal essays from their applicants.
    For a job, a personal essay explains how you meet the job's requirements and what
    makes you the best candidate.

    Here are 12 strategies you can use to write a compelling, thoughtful essay:
    1. Read the prompt carefully
    2. Pick an interesting topic if you can
    3. Use multiple research sources
    4. Make an outline or diagram
    5. Improve your grammar, spelling and punctuation skills
    6. Use appropriate vocabulary
    7. Evaluate evidence critically
    8. Write a strong conclusion
    9. Be specific
    10. Consider the "how"
    11. Proofread your essay
    12. Practice writing essays
    Characteristics of a Good Essay

    The characteristics of a good essay are:

    1) Unity: The essay should deal with the main subject and all parts of it should be
    clearly linked with that subject.

    2) Coherence: There should be a logical sequence of thought. This requires a logical


    relationship between ideas, sentences and paragraphs.

    3) Relevance: Unimportant information should not be included.

    4) Proportion: Give more space to important ideas.


    Sample essay 1
    A Short essay on Value of Time in English 150 words

    Time is man’s friend. But that man, who has no respect for it, is the enemy of time. The
    value of time in our lives is enormous and elaborate. Our activities show if we realize the
    value of time or not.
    People who are not punctual, people who do not respect deadlines, people who do things at
    the eleventh hour do not understand the value of time. Even if they do, perhaps they choose
    to ignore it. That is why; most people tend to do things in a hurry if they have a lot of time in
    their hands. This is because every day, they think they have time and put off their work for
    the next day. Ultimately on the day before submission, they go completely berserk and are in
    a hurry to complete their work.
    Thus, to get to know the value of time and make time, one’s friend is the only pathway of
    success in a man’s life.
