The first thing that I do whenever I get a writing assignment is brainstorming. I usually write down anything that relates to the topic on separate piece of paper. It could be words, sentences, or even pictures. After that I make a outline that might be helpful when I write an essay. Most of time, I correct many parts of it while I am writing so my final version is always totally different from the outline that I actually planned to do so.
Next, I start to write an introduction. Personally, I usually spend a bit of time to write an introduction. The reason is that I believe introduction should include all things that I am going to talk in later body paragraphs and should be interesting enough to grab the readers' interests. Because of my writing style, my introduction is usually longer than others.
After I finish the introduction, I start put down topic sentences of each body paragraph in order and do some research or try to understand clealry about the topic in order to support them effectively by using persuasive supporting details. Again, I usually make corrections that are different from what I originally planned to use when I keep writing.
Finally, in conlusion, I summarize all points that I have shown above body paragraphs and try to show the relationships between the thesis and supporting points in order to make sure whether those are persuasive or not. This is not just a summary of points in body section but more like rephrasing the meaning of them. Then, I usually use a meaningful proverb or message that would appeal to the readers when I complete my essay.
