How to write Essay in SBI PO Exam?

Dear readers, as you know that SBI PO 2014 Paper will also contain a

Descriptive Test of 50 marks (1 hour duration), which will consist of

English Language Comprehension, Short Précis, Letter Writing & Essay).

So, here we are presenting you "How to write Essay?" and few points to

remember while writing an essay in the exam, which will be important for

upcoming SBI PO exam.

How to write an essay?

1. Analyze the prompt.

Note exactly what is asked in the question.

Write down the prompt on the rough page.

Underline the key words in the prompt. Look for words like "explain,"

"identify," "analyze" or "define."

Break down the prompt into components. If you are to "identify" something

and then "analyze" it, then write 1 paragraph identifying what's requested

and a second paragraph analyzing what you identified.

2. List all of your ideas.

Write short sentence fragments or keywords of all of the facts that you

can remember. These should be facts that will support the arguments or

statements that you will make in your essay.

3. Write a thesis statement for the entire essay.

This statement should identify the point that you will make in your essay.

Avoid writing statements about yourself. For instance, don't write "I think"

or "The point I will make today is..."

Make the thesis statement specific.When writing about an

interpretation,use neutral language to state your opinion.Write "Jawahar

Lal Nehru will always be remembered as a great Indian Prime Minister

because he arguably ended the slavery in India." Avoid writing "Everyone

thinks Jawahar Lal Nehru is the best Prime Minister in history."

Make every paragraph in your essay after carefully considering the thesis

statement.

4. Divide the facts that you listed earlier into 2 to 4 groups.

Note the common characteristics of the points in each group. The

common characteristics will become the topic sentences for your body

paragraphs.

Discard ideas that don't support your main points. Adding additional ideas

will make your writing unfocused.

Rank each group in order of importance. Start with the least important

point in your first body paragraph and conclude with your strongest point in

your last body paragraph.

5. Write the topic sentences for your body paragraphs.

Use 1 or 2 sentences for each supporting point in your paragraphs. Make

sure the sentences directly relate to the paragraph's topic sentence.

State the supporting point. Then, state why the point is important. Never

write something down without explaining its significance.

6. Write the concluding statements for each paragraph.

Restate the argument that you made in your topic sentence.

7. Create a short introduction for your essay.

For example, use a fact, quote or statistic that relates to your thesis

statement. Your thesis statement should be the last sentence of your

introduction.

8. Write a conclusion. The conclusion should restate the thesis

statement, briefly summarize the arguments that you made and finish by

stating the ultimate point of your essay.

Few points to remember while writing essay:

1. Choose the title very carefully in which you are perfectly at home. Never

choose a title about which you have only hazy and ambiguous ideas.

2. You must jot down your points or ideas before you start writing the

essay.

3. Do not go against the title generally.
