1. Do These to Pass the Essay Stage of IISMA Awardee Selection!

2. Plan (masukin gambar2/ilustrasi mind map)
This may sound time-consuming, but if you make a really good plan you will actually save yourself time when it comes to writing the essay, as you’ll know where your answer is headed and won’t write yourself into a corner. Don’t worry if you’re stuck at first – jot down a few ideas anyway and chances are the rest will follow. One way to do this is by creating mindmap, with each new ‘bubble’ representing one of my main paragraphs.

3. Have a clear structure (masukin gambar2/ilustrasi mind map)
Your essay is like an argument or a speech – it needs to have a logical structure, with all your points coming together to answer the question. Start with the basic structure: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. This simple guide will show you how to perfect your essay structure by clearly introducing and concluding your argument, and laying out your paragraphs coherently in between.

4. Back up your points with evidence and reasoning (masukin ilustrasi yg related)
In the essay, your claims should be supported by reliable evidence. Evidence gives your writing authority, and allows your reader to evaluate the basis of your assertions: whether they are just a personal opinion, or whether they are backed up by a clear evidence and reasoning.

5. Be creative and original right the way through (masukin ilustrasi yg related)
Anyone can write an essay, but you need to make sure yours is outstanding and grab the reader's attention since there are other thousands of essay that will be compared to yours. So, the thing that really makes it ‘perfect’ is your own unique take on the topic you’re discussing. If you’ve noticed something intriguing or unusual in your past experience, point it out: if you find it interesting, chances are the examiner will too.

6. These are the keys needed to pass the essay stage, but only if you practice and apply it in your writing. So, make sure you do!
