It can be scary to look at a blank page, at first. A good amount of your total score depends on it, so there’s no doubt that it can cause a lot of stress. Writing an exceptional essay is all about finding the perfect strategy. Let’s break down the process, step-by-step with GED classes in Dhaka at PIE. Remember, every great story starts with a single step. Let’s take that step together and open the door to the GED as a gateway for higher education in Bangladesh.
Basics, First!
It takes about 45 minutes to write this essay that should be 300 to 500 words long. There should be 4–7 paragraphs in your essay, and each one should have 3–7 lines, for a total of 70–80 words per paragraph.
With PIE’s GED programs with flexible schedules in Dhaka, you’ll learn exactly how to write your essay in this exact structure. PIE’s instructors break it down step by step, so it’s super easy to follow, with the help of our personally curated, GED study materials in Bangladesh.
You will read two articles that talk about the same subject from two different points of view. It is quite normal to be confused, at this point. But don’t worry! PIE’s GED test preparation in Dhaka teaches you how to analyze both sides clearly. After learning to analyze, you can easily choose the stronger argument. It’s up to you to decide which article makes the strongest case and use proof from the text to explain why.
Brainstorming Your Essay
Normally, students need the highest 10 minutes to complete this section. Read the two sections slowly at first. Look for strong reasons that include these points:
- Specific examples: These help make the point more clear.
- Facts, data, statistics, and surveys: These provide solid evidence and make your essay more reliable.
- Expert or authority opinions: Referencing trustworthy sources makes this argument stronger.
- Recent dates: Usually, information that is more recent is more helpful.
In PIE’s GED comprehensive study plan in Dhaka, we focus on these exact points during our GED RLA classes in Dhaka. We’ll show you how to spot these key elements quickly, so you can save time and write a stronger essay.
Things to Avoid in Your Essay
Carefully, consider these when you are brainstorming and planning your essay.
Opinions, not facts: Opinions that aren’t proved by evidence are not worth it.
Unnamed experts: It is important to give accurate information, so avoid this kind of information.
Unnamed or unreliable sources: The point isn’t true if the source isn’t trustworthy.
Outdated sources: Old information is not helpful and relevant at all.
Bandwagon: Just because something is popular doesn’t make it right.
PIE’s GED preparation books in Dhaka guide you through these common pitfalls, so you know exactly what to avoid in your essay. Our GED study materials in Bangladesh make it super easy to spot unreliable sources and weak arguments.
