You know what? you are the best teacher here in RU-vid. So lucky I found your channel, I like your accent as well. I hope you can teach also an IELTS test. Thank you so much! You're great!
I was looking for a professional Essay writing teacher and here you are. I don't know how to say thank you. I'm forced to comment in the middle of the video because I'm learning a lot. As it is said, even though there may be many type of eassay writing, knowing one solid writing method will boost my confidence until I figure it out on my own. Thank you again 🙏
Thank you so much. Yes, after practice, you'll be able to write an essay with this structure so easily, it will become boring! At that point, it will be pretty easy to apply your own style and structure.
I really appreciate the break down and visuals of this lesson. It is helping reinforcing when I learned in a college lesson at a more manageable level, Thanks!
Omg, I want to sincerely thank you for such awesome video lessons on paragraphs. I was very confused and challenged on this subject until I found you. Your teaching on this subject is very clear and understandable. Thank you Thank you
Thanks. I am in a trade school and my instructor is requiring an essay (not super formal and strict) but he just wants us to practice professional writing and I am quite rusty on essay writing. Fingers crossed that I get this three page single spaced essay done in 9 days and pass the class.
Thank you for this video. I have been experiencing difficulty writing an essay since I was in elementary. I've learned so much from this video. God bless you, ma'am

Wow thanks a lot why becouse I don't have a clue to write an essay, beside I was thinking I can't write the good essay right now I can do it by using this vedio ......believe or not
Hi Abdurazak Hamid, thank you very much! If you have time, also watch Part 1 (Introduction paragraph) and Part 3 (Conclusion paragraph)--these paragraphs are a little different from body paragraphs, but easy if you know the parts!
OK I will...before that I wanna to say something U now what I'm about to take the GED exam so I have a plan to get highscore why because if I get 93% and above form each course I can get credit so I advise me how can I achieve my dream
Hi Abdurazak Hamid, I am not a GED exam expert, but with all standardized exams (TOEFL, GED, TOEIC, SAT, etc), I would advise you to find full-length and current practice exams made by the company that created the exam (or another reputable company). Take the practice exams, time yourself strictly, analyze your score, and then study the areas where your score shows weaknesses. On this page of the GED exam organization, you can scroll to the bottom for subject descriptions and practice tests. Find and practice materials like these to help you prepare: ged.com/en/curriculum/
God bless bless u your explanation is extremely clear and easy to understand thank u so much ☺️keep going , I hope you explain when can we use articles a/an/ the !? And how to write an outline ??

Below, I'm including a link to a well-known website affiliated with an excellent university. It has great information and examples about citations and references in many styles (like APA and MLA styles). If you aren't sure which style you should use, you can ask your professor or teacher, as this differs by subject matter: owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/resources.html

good morning Body paragraphs look impossible for me to dp please upload a video how to do body paragraphs like you did the introduction Step by step please
Hello Na Na, thank you for your comment. I am very happy to learn that this video helped you understand how to deal with the main topic in body paragraphs:D
Quite thorough. Thank you Is there a template for the key elements on how a basic body paragraph is made up of. Is it right to think for details sentences to provide reasons , results or contrasts ?? Thanks
Thank you for your comment! Here is a video on detail sentences in a paragraph. The audio is low, but maybe this will help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iJFcIWk57g8.html
I am writing an in-class argumentative essay next week. As it is a formal assessment, I will not be allowed to use my phone to do any type of online research to gather evidence or examples that are supported by ¨experts¨. How can I provide facts, details or examples, like the fact that´s provided in the third body paragraph about the correlation between happiness and the time spent outside, without any access to Internet? We will be given our essay questions on the day of the assessment, so I cannot really prepare for the essay.
Hi Hiroki Ito, I'd recommend using logic and well-known facts. By "logic," I mean details like those in body paragraph #2. These statements are logical and obvious, yet solid support for the topic sentence. You can simply think them up rather than research them. Also, you can use widely known facts that any essay grader is likely to know and learned in school--NOT not facts that few people know. For example: Exercise increases the heart rate. (Everyone learned this in school, yet, this fact can strongly support a variety of topic sentences on exercise.) Finally, avoid facts like this: Teens exercise more than elderly people. While this is almost definitely true, we didn't learn it in school, so you'd need to Google it to make sure someone PROVED it's true.
@@EnglishUnits Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly. Your clarification and explanation make perfect sense. Please keep uploading these amazing videos!!
In I have a question in regards to the conclusion sentence. They way you explained it makes. However, isn't that the sentence were we use it to transition to next paragraph? Ex: paragraph one says it's easy and two paragraph is convenient. So wouldn't we say in paragraph ones conclusion sentence something towards paragraph two? Need help, trying to practice for my cbest.
Hello, I understand your question. The major function of the conclusion sentence of a body paragraph is to wrap up the topic in that paragraph, not to address a topic in the next paragraph. Sometimes it's possible to do both things in one sentence and hint at the next paragraph--but the focus should be the current paragraph, not the next one. These practice essays are posted (and you can see scores) on the website for CBEST: www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/content/docs/CBEST_OPT_Writing.pdf Notice how transitions are used in the introduction sentences (thus, for example, because, the "very best" of a thing already described in prior paragraphs, etc). The conclusion sentence of each paragraph wraps up the topic of that paragraph. I did spot a few conclusion sentences that hint (but barely) at the next paragraph. Hopefully these examples will help. Good luck on your exam!!!
Practicing with a tutor is the most helpful because it allows people to use grammar in speaking, not just writing... Self-study books can also help a lot. One very popular book is called "The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation." Amazon sells the ebook, and it's not expensive. Record and re-practice items you miss until you've remembered them correctly several times.
i think i finally get it now... thank you so much i love you! hopefully this essay brings my grade up because i have never been to good in the subject english. im definitely gonna subscribe! words cant describe how grateful i am to have seen this video. Hashtag, #SpeakingFromTheHeart
I'd nearly always answer "yes" to this question because using the topic sentence first tells the reader what you're about to discuss in the paragraph - and helps the reader to quickly see how your paragraph connects to your main essay idea (in the thesis statement). As with all things, there are other possible approaches. Some writers who are skillful and experienced - or some assigments that require thinking out of the box - might warrant a different approach. The main goal is clearly communicating ideas, and putting topic sentences first help ensure this goal is accomplished.
Yes, as long as you include an introduction before them and conclusion after them. In this case, your thesis statement wouldn't include three reasons like in this video. You could remove the reasons and just have the thesis statement main idea OR you could do two sentences for the thesis statement - one with the main idea, plus another that summarizes the ideas/support/reasons discussed in your five body paragraphs.
One of the wonderful things about the 5-Paragraph essay is that it is a perfect foundation for all nonfiction. For example, in a longer, more advanced paper, you could still think of the Introduction as a few paragraphs, or even a whole section. Following would be the amount of paragraphs necessary to solidly prove your thesis. Having three parts to the body of your paper may take up more paragraphs. Three main ideas that support your thesis are almost always enough. And a conclusion is always a good place to help the reader digest the information and synthesize it into a key impression.
Hi Rachid, that is a good question! "First of all" is a transition. Do not use a transition at the beginning. However, it is excellent to use them in body paragraphs and in the conclusion paragraph. This video has some examples, including when to use "First," "Secondly," and so on: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZFkFFu_7c_I.html
My nerves are killing me over an impending written expression exam that's probably going to have two questions and last about 2 hours.😪 I can write only one(disorganised) essay in 3 hours..please tell me I'm not hopeless..🙏
Mary Jane Yuwak, you can do it! If you can write an extremely disorganized essay, you're halfway there:) After you read the essay prompt, it might help to take a few moments to decide your thesis statement main idea plus about three reasons-BEFORE you dive into writing. If you know these points, they will automatically help guide you into an organized essay. If you try to write without this basic plan of ideas to cover, your thinking might go in many different directions. Good luck to you.
You're welcome! Part 4 covers transitions. (This video is Part 2.) You can find that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZFkFFu_7c_I.html
