• an introductory topic sentence
• supporting sentences. The supporting sentences answer the questions of: Who, What, Why, How, When. See the example.
• a conclusion

2. Write in simple English. Do not write to sound fancy. You may think now why then everybody tells me to improve my vocabulary, learn complex sentences and idiomatic expressions, and so on. Don't worry about it for now. You will use all that stuff in your writing after you become a good writer. Then, if you choose to use a fancy style, no one will dismiss your essays because your essays are dense in fancy wording. Your essays then will be clearly understood, your ideas in your essays will be well organized and your topic well developed with good supporting sentences. So fancy style doesn't mean bad writing but it takes practice and experience to use fancy vocabulary or phrases or idiomatic expressions skillfully in writing.

3. Practice makes it perfect! Do this favor to yourself: Grab a pen and paper, and write one paragraph whenever you have time, even a tiny bit of time. If you practice writing one good paragraph whenever and where ever you have a chance --at lunch or coffle breaks or in the subway, you will improve your writing I guarantee! This way will help you break the cycle of long planning hours for essay writing that mostly becomes a real burden, and then students seldom practice enough writing.
