Eassy

There are several types of essays such as narrative, descriptive, argumentative, cause and effect, factual and expository. A narrative essay is basically a story and these essays are often anecdotal, experiential, and personal. A good essay can catch the reader’s attention. In order to write a good essay, we must have these following features. Firstly, when you write a narrative essay, you should support your topic sentence with a story about your personal experience. You also need to write about that personal experience which happened in a short period of time.

Secondly, write a paragraph that supports the topic sentence with a story. All the sentences should explain and support the topic sentence. Thirdly, it is important to have the concluding sentence as it usually tells why the experience was important to us or what we learned from the experience.

Last but not least, a good narrative essay should have a chronological order or time order. This essay should include the event of the story in the order that they happened.

Furthermore, apart from brainstorming the ideas, we have come out with a mind map and word map which is really helpful to construct the ideas for the essay. Based on the materials that we have acquired earlier, we made these maps to make the points clearer as they will act as the references to write the essay.

In addition, we clustered all the materials in order. Clustering the ideas is a way to organize the ideas in a proper way. Thus, by using these steps, we were able to synthesize the ideas to write the essay.
