One thing that is best, the greatest piece of advice I was given, is to write how you speak.
When you do this, the flow comes off natural, and its more entertaining. You don't want to end up with choppy sentences like, "I believe that love is a great thing. It is meaningful. There is so..." you get the point.
And research your essay well. Make certain you go to credible site; you don't want to look like a prat by referencing incorrect stuff. Also, depending on your topic, you might try interviewing different people on the subject. You can even do this in chatrooms.
Hope that helps!

1) Read the book.
2) Study the title of the essay that has been set.
3) Get some (preferably) original thoughts about the subject matter of the essay.
4) Write the essay, using a suitable introduction/ argument/ conclusion structure.
Blimey, no offence, and that, but if you have to ask 'how do I write an essay' and you're taking GCSE English, it is no wonder people think that modern qualifictions are worthless...

Mmmmm not convinced, but still.....
1 - Look & understand the title of the essay (as in what do they want me to write about - The characters? the story? the sub plots? the overall message?)
2 - Read the book (or at the every least watch the film - the best is the 1930's version with John Mills)
3 - Pick out the key issues & write about them
4 - Watch spelling & grammar - they are important

Is it really possible to pass GCSE English when you can't spell "essay", punctuate or write a coherent sentence?
