Council number 1. Study the essays of your predecessors, other authors. This should be done before you sit down to write your paper. Studying the essays of other authors will give an idea about the project itself, what not to write in, what words can be used, determine the approximate structure and principles of writing, what to rely on and what to focus on.

Note that the essay should emphasize the personality of the author, his temperament, oratorical abilities, emotions, etc. This is one of the features of the essay, as a particular genre.

Council number 2. Study the literature on the topic. It is important for the author not only to show how he relates to the question/problem posed, but also to study and analyze its development. It is important to have at least some understanding of the topic, but it is best to dive into it as deeply as possible. This approach will demonstrate the seriousness of writing an essay and the level of preparation of the student. To do this, you will have to search and study the relevant literature. Use only trusted, reliable and reasonable sources. Select theses, key definitions and torment.

Council number 3. Develop an essay outline. Despite the fact that an essay is considered a creative work with an arbitrary structure, content, it is best to think carefully: what you will write, where and what to mention, how to connect everything together, etc. For this, it is best to develop a work plan.

The essay should contain the following information: title, introductory part (briefly introducing the reader to the topic, relevance, purpose and objectives, methods, etc.), main part (abstracts and arguments are given, the development of the issue is analyzed, the author's position is stated) conclusion (main conclusions on the topic, argumentation of the author's position).

It is also necessary to reflect the list of references, which will include the works on which the author relied when creating the essay.
