Answer 1

Sorry Sweetie but the first thing you will want to do would be to check your spelling. You don't right an essay you write one. Write one on your computer and spell check it before you hand it in and I feel sure you will pass this time.

Answer 2

That's not really enough information, there are different types of essays to write, and I can tell you without a doubt, you should expect to spend some time on it..there's no quick fix, wham bam...here's my work, however there are ways to make it easier on yourself, it's just a matter of knowing how to do an essay.

...The first thing you need to do is to think of your essay as three parts; the opening, the body and the closing.

Your opening should consist of one paragraph of about three to five sentences. It should clearly state your view on the topic and how you are going to support this view. Due to time limits, it is best to use only three points to defend your position. If possible try to catch the reader’s attention with a controversial statement that compels them to read more. However, avoid clichés.

The body is your content and should support the three points made in your opening. Each point should be explained in a separate paragraph and flow logically between ideas. Be direct and to the point. Don’t get wordy or you will get stuck in these paragraphs and the body is not the most important part of your essay. Support your ideas and move on to the closing.

The closing is where you bring your message together. Review your position and the points that support your view, then call your readers to some type of action by asking them to make a decision, buy something or support an organization. The closing is the most important part of your essay. It requires your best effort. If you spend too much time on your points and don’t have a well thought out closing it will cost you. It is better to have a weak body and a powerful closing than a weak closing or no closing at all.

How to Begin Your Essay

You begin your essay by carefully reading the assigned topic. Then develop an outline that you will use as a guide while writing your actual essay. The first part of your outline should be a sentence that states your position on the topic. Next, you should list the points that will support your position and determine your body paragraphs. Finally, you should write a sentence that states your closing.

Taking the time to prepare an outline will keep you focused on the task at hand and allow you to make the most of your time.

The Outline

* state your position
* first point
* second point
* third point
* conclusion

Writing the Essay

Now, armed with your outline, begin writing your essay. Start your opening paragraph with an attention grabbing statement that will draw the reader deeper into your essay. Then state your view and the points that support that view. Next write the body by supporting each of the points in a separate paragraph. Remember, don’t get wordy just explain the points and move on to your closing.

You must have a closing! Do not get caught up in the body of the essay. You will not impress anyone without a closing. The closing is the most important part of the essay. Make sure you have time to write a well thought out closing that brings all your points together and moves the reader to action.

If you follow this formula for writing your SAT essay you will have plenty of time to write and complete a good essay. Whether it will be a great essay depends on your individual ability to write.

The number one thing you can do to improve your SAT scores is practice, practice, and practice some more.

Answer 3

You don't need time to write a good essay.

I once wrote an essay the class period prior to the class it was for and got extra credit. Did I mention it was also a day late?

This of course, only works if your teacher isn't a humourless old crone.

All you do is write. It's more complicated than it sounds. Don't stop writing. Research everything you need to know and just write it out. Anything that pops into your head? Put it on paper. This works really well if it's persuasive. This will not only engage the reader/teacher but makes your essay stand out.

Try it.

Answer 4

Here is a formula that might help when you WRITE your essay:
Paragraph 1: introduce your topic by giving an illustration of the problem or issue. For instance, if the topic is privacy on the internet, you would want to lead with the current story about the girl who committed suicide after being rejected by a person she thought was her friend in a chat room. Then give three points (three actions you think should be taken, three reasons for your premise, or three things you disagree with the standard view).
Paragraphs 2-4: Write one paragraph on each of the three points you chose above, giving further explanations, examples and support.
Paragraph 5: Summarize your view in the first paragraph in different words. Leave the reader with a call to action or challenge.

Answer 5

well think of it this way. take it one step at a time. first you must see how the teacher wants you to write it. like
ts
cd
cm
cm
cd
cm
cm
cs

with concrete details and commentary sentences.
with that then you just take it one paragraph at a time.
one sentence at a time.

and if you have time spread some of the work out over those five days if possible so you dont feel so pressured about doing the essay right away.
just take it paragraph after paragraph and it will go fast without any distractions.

for the spelling if you type it use spell check.
if you write it then spell check it your self then have some one prof read it to make sure to catch anything you didn't.

with this in mind it will go much faster.
and make sure you have a correct research source.
