yourself. Some of the ways to do it is taking a
great stance after choosing the topic and
conducting background study thoroughly. Here is
how you can prepare for writing an essay that
leaves a lasting impression.

The Pre-Writing Phase

• Select an intriguing topic
• Pick a topic that piques your interest. If the
  essay is about something that you enjoy reading
  about, it will be easier to write. It will also
  have better chances of getting you a great grade
  for you will actually like writing about it.

The Pre-Writing Phase

• The second step is to conduct thorough research
  on the topic. You can make use of the libraries
  and archives for accessing existing literature on
  the topic. Digital resources such as Google
  Scholar will also help you access a hoard of
  information on myriad topics.

The Writing Phase
When you have an outline for your essay, writing
it becomes a whole lot smoother. Writing each
section of the essay requires you to focus on the
elemental bits of them closely. From creating a
compelling introduction, composing coherent body
paragraphs, and concluding the essay in style,
each section of the essay requires attention to
detail.

The Writing Phase

• Writing the introduction
• Top tips for writing an introduction are to keep
  it simple, short and very intriguing. Using
  shocking stats, an anecdote or a quote are some
  of the most powerful hooks that draw readers from
  the very first sentence in your essay.
• Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous
  master.

The Writing Phase

• Christian Lous Lange (Norwegian historian)
• As the renowned historian proclaims, technology
  has both positive and negative sides to it. The
  development and use of technology are thus best
  done keeping all ethical considerations in mind.
  People from a few generations before did not grow
  up watching smart televisions and computers or
  have a PlayStation at home.

The Writing Phase

• Writing the body paragraphs
• Moving on to the body paragraphs, they should
  take a cue from the main idea brought forth in
  the introduction. Elucidating them further would
  require splitting them into three or more body
  paragraphs, with one idea or argument per
  paragraph. Here is how you can structure the body
  paragraphs for continuing the essay on technology.

such as hacking and identity theft, online
harassment and stalking, and cyber terrorism as
well. Additionally, the long-term impact of
misuse or dependence on technology and the latest
gadgets.

The Writing Phase
E-bikes have replaced bicycles, rollerblades have
made way for electronic motor skates. Sure, they
are super-fun to use. No point arguing with that.
But the advent of gadgets that are making
everyday life a lot smoother is also causing this
generation to become over-dependent on
technology. Studies conducted all around the
world show the alarming decline of teen

The Writing Phase
Of course, it is because the technology that we
have been able to explore the deepest parts of
the ocean and have made our journeys to space and
beyond the solar system.  Technology has also
helped in reducing crime rates in some places and
has helped in making education accessible for a
large number of people. There is no denying the
fact that it

The Writing Phase

• Concluding your Essay
• Finally, conclude your essay with a wrap-up
  paragraph to summarise the main points elaborated
  in your essay. It is best to finish the essay
  with a rousing call to action that helps in
  leaving a mark in the readers minds. Here is how
  you can conclude the essay on technology.

The Writing Phase
The post-writing phase As you saw in the example
essay, composing each part of an essay separately
makes the writing phase a whole lot easier. But
you cannot turn in an essay without revisions,
right? Some studies say that around 40 of an
essays quality depends on how well it is edited.
We dont disagree at all.

The Writing Phase

• Editing and revising your essay
• After you have finished writing your essay, set
  it aside for a few days. Come back to edit it
  with a fresh outlook after a few days. Editing
  will be a hell lot better this way. Also, it is
  imperative that you learn the difference between
  editing and proofreading. Editing is a thorough
  check on every segment of the essay.

The Writing Phase

• Proofreading is a final check on the essay before
  turning it in. The elemental mistakes that you
  should watch out for when editing your essay are
• Use of active verbs
• Sentence structure and presence of transition
  sentences

• Punctuation and redundancies
