Overview
1. Purpose of an essay and terminology 2. Criteria 3. Three Types of an essay 4. Global structure for an essay 5. Paragraph level of the structure 6. Structure of the introduction 7. Three ways of construction of the body 8. Structure of the conclusion
• Sample 1: In general, people do not have such a close relationship with their neighbours as they did in the past. Why is this so, and what can be done to improve contact between neighbours? (IELTS). • Sample 2: Examine the problem of poverty either in your own country or in another country of your choice. Discuss its main causes and effects. What measures should be taken to improve the situation? (EAP course). • Sample 3: In a recent survey of HR executives, more than 400 companies respond that the priorities of top management at their firms is to counter competition, cut costs and improve performance. Yet only 12 percent of these HR executives said that their department had a major responsibility for improving productivity, quality and consumer service in their companies. Why is there a gap between top management’s priorities and the responsibility of the HR department? What are some of the consequences of this gap? How do you think an HR department can gain top management’s support and align themselves with their company’s strategic goals? (Business Management at University Masters degree).
