Show transcript
Our essay gives a logical argument that builds towards a conclusion. Throughout the essay, we connect ideas using a range of linguistic features and we support ideas with evidence. We use a formal tone in an essay because we want to sound authoritative. Our conclusion should directly address the essay question, making the end-point of our logical argument clear. It is useful to orally rehearse our ideas before writing to reduce our cognitive load.
