POINT - EVIDENCE - EXPLAIN. Also known as PEE Essays.
Using the PEE technique on an essay is always a good way to write an essay. But what is point, evidence, explain exactly?
When you start an essay, you make your point as the first sentence. The point is extremely important because you are telling the reader exactly what you want to do in the future. Lets say, for example, you wanted to be an astronaut in the future. The best way to start the essay would be 'I want to be an astronaut in the future'. Always make your point short and snappy, you don't need to go into explicit detail here (though you will need to elaborate later on!).
Then, the next part is the evidence. You need to provide evidence to the reader that you actually want to be an astronaut in the future. So, for example, you could say 'Ever since I was little, I have always read books about astronauts going into space and discovering new planets. I have also played witness to movies thus documentaries about the stories of astronauts venturing forth in space. One moment that stuck out for me in particular was when "provide a story about a specific astronaut going out to space, what they did etc". This was the moment when I decided that I wanted to be an astronaut in the future'.
The final part is the explanation.
You now need to explain to the reader why you want to be an astronaut in the future. 'I want to be an astronaut because I have always been fascinated by space. I love all sciences, in particular astronomy, and my dream has always been to discover new planets and encounter new alien lifeforms. My heroes have gone into space, and I want to follow in their footsteps' is a good starting point for an explanation.
Using all these techniques, you can then produce your essay. Remember, when you are writing always keep in mind PEE. If you have any questions about PEE then feel free to ask.
