The essay

What are things you
must have in an essay?

What do you need
to focus on in
'formal language'?

In short

• No contractions → can’t = cannot / won’t = will not
  
• Formal language = use facts, not opinions
  
• Empty line between each paragraph
  
• Don’t use questions
  
• Don’t use ‘I’ or 'we'
  
• Use linking words
  
• Show your research!
  

The structure of an essay and the inner-structure of a paragraph are quite the same

2. False

Structure

Essay: thesis statement - support - conclusion

Paragraph: topic sentence - support - conclusion

Thesis statement = ❤ of an essay
