How do I write a good essay?

Secondary stage I  

Requirements:

• An essay must be divided into three paragraphs in terms of content and appearance. The introduction has the function of informing the reader factually and informatively about the core topic. The main part contains the narrative or argumentation and the final part is expected to contain a conclusion, reflection or personal opinion on the thesis.
   
• An essay is a formal text type. Colloquial and casual phrases and terms are not desired in the German essay. Rather, students should present their vocabulary at the entrance examination from its best side and try to use high-quality and demanding formulations.
   
• With a Discussion If the thesis is examined from the point of view of opponents and proponents. A balanced number of arguments should be presented convincingly. The 3-B rule can be used: Assertion, Reason, Proof. No argument should simply be thrown into the room without appropriate explanations.
• With a Narration a realistic event from the author's personal environment is usually expected. No one can verify whether a situation was personally experienced. However, it should be conveyed to the reader in a credible way that this event took place. Therefore, surreal or implausible actions should be avoided. Also the essay ending "Then I woke up and it was all just a dream" is rather undesirable.
   
• While discussions are formulated completely factually and neutrally, it makes a narrative more authentic and exciting if the emotional level is included. Through the Writing with all senses (Visuals, smells, sounds, sensations, feelings and thoughts), the reader succeeds in immersing himself in the narrated world and experiencing it to some extent. This is how a text is perceived as interesting.
