The great bulk of the words in your essay should support the points of your argument. Keep the last 250-300 words for a conclusion. A good conclusion restates your main ideas in a way that is interesting and persuasive. Don't go beyond this limit.
If you write without a thesis statement, then you're going to need to think about what question you want to ask readers as you write your essay. You can't answer questions you didn't ask! A good way to make sure you've included all the necessary questions in your writing process is to use mind mapping tools like Trello or Evernote. Use any remaining space at the end of your essay to tell readers what you learned from this experience and how it will help you in future essays.
When writing your conclusion, keep in mind that it too should be relevant to the topic of your paper. Ask yourself if the information given in your conclusion adds anything new to the discussion or not. If it doesn't, then delete any sentences that don't contribute to your argument.
A good conclusion re-states your main ideas in a way that is interesting and persuasive.
When writing a 1500-word essay, take the following approach: You must begin with a fascinating introduction before moving on to the main body of the essay. In the main body, you should include evidence to back up your claims. Then, at the end of your essay, include a conclusion. The conclusion should summarize what has been said in the essay and leave readers with questions about the topic at hand.
There are several ways that you can break up your essay into smaller sections. For example, you could divide the essay into three parts: an introduction, a main argument, and a conclusion. Or, you could divide the essay into four sections: an introduction, a primary argument, a secondary argument, and a conclusion. Either way, it is important that you follow this structure so that your essay makes sense as a whole.
Once you have decided how you want to divide up your essay, start thinking about interesting topics to write about. Choose one subject that you feel confident talking about and then plan out how you will divide up the essay. For example, if you were writing about "The Impact of Social Media on Teenagers," you might want to divide your essay into two sections: social media's impact on teenagers' emotions and its impact on their relationships.
Now that you know how long your essay is going to be, start planning out what you are going to say in each section.
You may add up to 100 words of proof to your body to support your essay. Your body and introduction should be around 600 words. Finally, there is a closing portion of roughly 100 words. Overall, then, you need to write between 1,800 and 2,000 words for this section of the essay.
For reference, here are some common word counts for essays of different lengths:
1,500 words or more - likely an extended essay rather than a brief essay
1,000 words- very short essay
900 words- fairly long essay
750 words- medium length essay
600 words- long essay
450 words- very long essay
300 words- very short essay
See what I mean about lengthy?!
Now that you have an idea of how much space you need to fill with words, it's time to choose those words. Here are some tips for picking the right ones:
Is your topic interesting? Will people want to read about it?
Does your argument make sense?
