Introduction
This is the first contact that your reader makes with your essay: it must be well organised and clear. The introduction should not be more than a paragraph (approx. 100-150 words long). It should provide an outline of the purpose of your essay, set out time-line of the study, specify the studied country/location/community and the given example(s) for your chosen title.

You might find it easier to write the introduction last – by this time you should have a good understanding of what you are saying!

Body of Essay
Depending on your subject and how you wish to organise it, you will probably have between 2-4 paragraphs with headings relevant to your topic.

You could use headings/sections to facilitate the essay logical progression.

Please bear in mind that all your essays are different – so how many sections and how the breakdown will look like depend on your chosen topics. Think about how best to divide your essay into sections that allow you to explore and present the information clearly and systematically.

Conclusion
This section summarises the whole piece of work and allows you to reflect on the chosen essay title, reinstate the discussed topic and argument.
