First of all you should choose a proper title for the essay, and then do some kind of research, connected with the chosen topic. What do we mean under the word research? You should gather as much information on your topic, as possible. It is important to understand things you write about. You can look for the information using the Internet (for instance, wikipedia), different magazines and books.

When you are done with research, start writing. Each essay begins with the introduction (the first paragraph), next follows a middle paragraph (or an essay's body) and, of course, a conclusion.

Now let's look closer at the introduction.

Maybe you won't believe it, but the most important introduction part is the first sentence. Don't underestimate its role! This sentence should grab the readers' attention, have some intrigue and be disputable. The reason for it is very simple - a lot of people like or dislike different stories and articles already from the first sentence. You'll have no chance to present them your wonderful "middle part". How to get people interested? The beginning must not be trite or boring: use some interesting phrases or anecdotes. The introduction should also include a thesis statement, your main ideas, a topic, and also have a conclusion. Don't forget about a roadmap (where you shortly describe all the paragraphs of your essay). The thesis means introducing the things you'll talk about in a body. As for conclusion, it is also rather vital ? it is like a last impression of you on the readers.

Considering the second paragraph, here you can use the information you've found on the web-pages and in libraries. Add your own insight, knowledge, and other people experience. All you need is approximately 4-5 facts on the chosen topic. The middle part also sports a final sentence. And it shouldn't be long or boring. Make it worth thinking.

At last we come to your conclusion paragraph ? the last important part of a 600 word essay. Never mention here some new facts. The main aim of conclusion is to sum up the general idea and issues of the essay. It includes the conclusion itself, which is extremely important! People often remember the last phrases best of all, the whole success and impressions depend on this phrase. Care for grammar and style, don't make mistakes. And of course, count the words ? there must be no less than 600.
