Answer 1

I already answered this

It might be better for you to write it yourself

Here are some tips:

1. Start with a nice hook

- a hook draws your audience (aka your teacher) into the piece. I heard somewhere that you only have a few seconds to catch someone's attention.

For example, I will introduce the same topic two different ways, with a hook and without one.

With a hook: It's been two months since we've seen land. Our water stores are down to only a few drops. If we don't find land or get rain soon, I fear we'll perish.

Without a hook: We're on a lifeboat. We're very thirsty. We might die soon.

Which was funner to read?

Next, if you choose one of the essay assignments, you'll need a thesis. This is basically your stance on the subject. Your paragraphs after this will essentially back this stance up.

Hope this helps!
