I heard that if you write at the end of your essay “This is private and confidential, destroy once you’ve finished reading” your teacher has to burn it and give you top marks for the security of the nation.
Writing an essay is just like when you’re angry at someone and you want to yell at them. You have to say what you’re angry about, yell at them about it, and then when you’re finished remind them that they’ve been yelled at.
Introduction
This is basically a list of what you need to do. So if you’re essays about Shakespeare and how he always killed all his characters because he never had any friends, this is the place to say it. “Shakespeare was the first emo because he made everyone carry around skulls, all his clothes had frills on the sleeves and he wore mascara”.

Body of the Text
This is where you make your argument. You start off your first sentence relating to the question, then make a point about it. So if the question is “If Jedward ever learn martial arts they’re just going to look like Tekken characters”, you’d write about how everyone always wants to punch them and if you need a reference you include a picture of Paul Phoenix (google him – he’s pretty awesome)
Whenever I’m writing an essay I always make one major point per paragraph, then for my last paragraph I go “Some people don’t agree with this, they think blah blah blah”. So after I write down what they say, I totally destroy their argument with a great comeback! Even though I completely invented this person and what they think, they now look like a loser and no one will ever talk to them again.
If they were real. They’re not. But if they were!!!
But they’re not.
Conclusion
This is where you just repeat everything you said, like your grandmother talking to you on a train journey to Tullamore. Bear in mind there’s no such thing as bad publicity, so always include something that really bigs you up here. “In conclusion, that is why the world will end in 2012. Also, I’m probably going to win X-Factor next year after I save a bunch of kittens tied to fireworks. Vote for me!!!”
Top Tip: When using references, don’t include links to Wikipedia. Teachers hate this, since this website is slowly putting them out of a job.
