简介

在国外，人们都管话题作文和论文统称ESSAY。

Essay可以看做是说明文，也可以是议论文。总体来说就是引用别的事物来证明某个观点。

组成

它分三个部分

1.main idea主题

example

2.supporting parts{details)(细节)

3.concluding sentence 结束语

我的老师说一篇ESSAY最少要三句话，就是我刚刚所写的大的主体。

另外journal 和 ESSAY 有些相似，journal更不规范些，就像是博客里写的随笔，日志，但不是日记,不记录心情.

用法

在加拿大ESSAY从10年级开始正式的学习，在这之前一般都是journal.

restatement and final comment。

In the first paragragh, let others know what are you writing about. Then, bring out the points and explain it. A good essay does not need to be a long one. It just need to have a good grammar, relavent points and good explanation. Add proverbs and good words if you can.
