Once you’ve written your intro, the next step is to develop the main points of the essay. Each of these points should be supported with evidence and examples to ensure that the argument is convincing and well-reasoned.
When you begin each point, you should introduce an idea before you focus on developing it into a point.
Using the right vocabulary for starting points or paragraphs is essential and will make your essay easier to read and understand. Here are a few terms you can use:
- This essay discusses…
- This essay explores…
- This essay focuses on…
- X is examined…
- X will be explored…
- The central focus will be…
- The definition of X is explored…
- The definition of X is outlined…
- The purpose of this paper is to investigate…
- This essay will examine both sides of the argument on the topic of…
- This essay will evaluate the purpose of X…
- This essay will address the issue of X…
These terms can help you introduce ideas and develop them with evidence, arguments, perspectives, facts, etc. Learning a mixture of phrases is handy for keeping things fresh and unique. If you use the same phrases over and over, you run the risk of writing a dull and repetitive essay.
