To write a college essay, make a plan.
3
1. Prewriting
First of all, think about the topic. It has to be
interesting for you. Suppose you have to write
about the forest. If you are fond of music, you
may narrow the theme like this Wonderful Sounds
of Nature in the Forest.
4
The other important thing is that your topic has
to be interesting not only for you, but also for
your potential audience. It means that you
shouldnt use some difficult or specific musical
terms to compare the rustling of grass with the
sounds of accordion, as your potential readers
(of course, if they are not musicians) wont
understand the deepness of your comparison.
Instead of it, you may say that you can enjoy
the sounds of nature thanks to your absolute
musical ear. Your musical talent gives you an
opportunity to make a prediction that it will be
raining soon, because you can hear rare drops of
rain, when you cant see and feel it.

2. Writing a College Essay

• A college essay has a concrete structure
• An introduction paragraph.
• 2. Body (or supporting) paragraphs.
• 3. A concluding paragraph.

6
An introduction paragraph is the first part of
your essay. Write approximately 3 5 sentences
in your introduction. However, you may write more
than five sentences, but not less than two
sentences. Your introduction paragraph is
divided into three sub-parts a hook (something
that attracts a readers attention), an
introduction of the topic (some background
information), a thesis statement (your own point
of view).
7
The second paragraph of your essay is a body. You
may write several body paragraphs in your essay.
The amount of supporting paragraphs is not
restricted.

• A conclusion paragraph is the last part of your
  essay. This part of your essay summarizes the
  main idea.
• A summary paragraph usually is divided into three
  sub-parts
• A summary of your essay.
• Some keys to solve the problems (if there are
  any),
• An address to your imaginary reader with some
  constructive suggestions.

3. Checking And Rewriting Your College Essay
Read your college essay one more time. If you
have some new ideas, add them to your essay. Be
sure that your essay is interesting not only for
you, but also for your imaginary
readers. Anyway, remember that you have to write
only your thoughts and ideas in your college
essay. You dont need to give the correct
answer, as you describe your own feelings and
emotions.
