What is an essay in English

[DavidRoss]

In order to learn how to compose a written work, you need to thoroughly understand the principle of doing it. And first of all, it is necessary to understand what an English essay is and why it is written.

So, when studying a foreign language, we develop several skills at once: vocabulary, grammar, reading, phonetics (understanding), pronunciation and writing. And it is not for nothing that the skill of writing is at the end of this series, because it combines all the previous skills. So what then is an essay in English? Nothing other than a demonstrative written work that demonstrates the whole range of knowledge and skills of a student in a foreign language. When we write an essay, we formulate thoughts, put them into words, form grammatically correct sentences, and read (pronounce) this text to ourselves during the test.

So we can say that a sample essay in English is the brightest example of a person's speech skills, because in order to write such a work yourself, you need to have sufficient mastery of foreign speech. That is why essay writing is included in the USE in English as well as in the IELTS or TOEFL certification exams. And it is precisely because of multitasking that such great difficulty is caused by the solution of this part of the exam for students.

An essay is a grouping of logical thought in the English language. An essay contains a thesis statement, which states what the entire essay is about, and topic sentences for subsequent paragraphs, which are logically related to the thesis statement. I would encourage you to think of the relation between thesis and topic sentences like a syllogism:

Premise 1
Premise 2
THEREFORE
Premise 3 is true.

Example:
Good web design reduces bounce rate.
A low bounce rate is essential to making money from your website.
THEREFORE
Good web design is essential to making money from your website.

On the internet, the title of your article is your thesis statement (for an online essay) and the subheaders are your topic sentences. Note that not all blog posts are essays - some are dedicated to telling stories - but most factual websites follow an essay format to organize their articles and data.

There days there are many classifications for essays. When you publish an essay on a newspaper, it will be generally referred to as an article, if you publish the same essay online, it will be called a blog post or a web content. If your essay is about your travel experience, it will be called travelogue.
