Do not mix different ideas in one paragraph. Read the instructions carefully and attentively before writing your essays. Do not repeat the same thoughts in different paragraphs and ensure that your ideas are interrelated to each other and the topic in particular.
Thesis statement. You need to have a thesis statement in your essays. Remember that this part of the introduction shows the route of your essay and it has to be properly formulated. It should appear at the end of your introduction (1-2 sentences). You will have problems with structuring your essays if you cannot define your thesis.

Moreover, it is essential to identify it correctly and restate it in your conclusion. Try to show your reader that the debatable problem is solved and in which way.
