Introduction
Once you have brainstormed ideas, you need to plan how your essay will be organised. Most essays have three parts - introduction, body, and conclusion - and an Acade111ic Writing Task 2 essay usually needs two or three body paragraphs, depending on which task type you are writing. The essay can be structured as follows:
Try to think about your essay plan while you are brainstorming, as this will use less time. You should aim to spend 3-4 minutes in total analysing, brainstorming and planning your essay. The main idea of the plan is to organise your argument to make sure that you include your opinion, have a thesis statement in your introduction, and that your main ideas are logically organised in body paragraphs with support and examples.
Here is a task followed by a sample plan. Look at how the essay is planned.
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Governments alone cannot be expected to solve environmental problems. It is also the responsibility of businesses and individuals to help.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
In this plan, abbreviations and shortened words (such as govt instead of government) have
been used to save time.You can see the writer's opinion is noted and in this case is included in
the introduction. There are three body paragraphs with supporting ideas. Examples have been
noted in two of the paragraphs.There are no planned ideas for the conclusion as the conclusion
is a rephrasing of the main ideas. It is not always necessary to plan the conclusion. Unit 5 covers
each part of the essay in more detail.
