something should be aware in writing

Topic sentence

1. Try to avoid the essay that reads like a loose list of isolated points.
2. Using the topic sentence tie paragraphs in with the major issues outlined in the introduction.
3. To create fluency and cohesion between each paragraph use transitions at the beginning of the topic sentence.

Development and evidence

1. In the development, show the examiner you have the abilities to analyse, criticise, discuss and evaluate issues.
2. Avoid simply trying to impress the examiner with how much you know.
3. It's not the conclusions you reach, but the abilities you use to get there, that matters.
4. Try to avoid giving too much evidence: it might confuse examiners by breaking up the structure of your essay.
5. Equally, avoid giving too little, relying instead on mere opinion.

Transitions

Contrast: 'In contrast'-'However'

Extension: 'Moreover'-'Therefore'

Reinforcing: 'Similarly'-'Likewise'

In view of their importance, make sure your transitions do what you want them to do. Occasionally we find ourselves using weak transitions, which create only weak links and a weak essay structure. The worst are those we use for a list of points, words and phrases, like 'also', 'Another point is' and 'In addition'. These have their counterparts in subjects, like history, where we resort to time to order our ideas, which we introduce with transitions like 'After', 'Then' and 'The next'. When you find yourself using this sort of transition, just check to see what's happening in your essay. More often than not they will indicate that you're no longer discussing issues by developing a critical analysis. Instead, you've slipped into a description of the issues or into a narrative of the events.
