Many students agree with the quotation made by Sophy Burnham, "Writing is so hard." However, with a few tips on writing and some practice, writing custom essays becomes easier. Most instructors begin with five-paragraph essays that students can easily learn. However, there are instructors who are difficult to please. Knowing how to please these instructors is important in getting the grades most students strive so hard to achieve. This essay will take you through the basic steps in essay writing that will please most instructors.

"One of the most difficult things is the first paragraph. I have spent many months on a first paragraph, and once I get it, the rest just comes out very easily," stated Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This statement is quite true. Knowing how to start a first paragraph with an attention-getter and the thesis is often the most difficult part of custom writing any essay or research paper. First, knowing how to create an attention-getter or sometimes called the hook. The first sentence should grab the reader and entice him/her to keep on reading. Some ways to get the attention of the audience is to use statistics, quotations, anecdotes, or examples. For instance, a statistic like this one:

"Four out of five children are obese in American schools."

Most parents will want to know more about why American children are so obese. Another example of an attention-getter is through using a quotation. Notice this essay started with a quotation, "Writing is so hard." Many students believe custom essay writing is hard -- especially for difficult instructors expecting a lot. An anecdote is a short story about the author or someone else. An example of an anecdote is:

The girl was circled by several bigger girls. They were teasing and calling her names. The girl quickly ran to her mother's car with tears running down her cheeks.

This anecdote would be great for an essay on "bullies in the school system." The point of an attention-getter is to get the instructor interested in the essay and from that point on the instructor will be more prone to be interested in your essay.

Another important step in writing custom essays or term papers for difficult instructors is creating a thesis that clearly defines the essay written. One of the best places to begin in the writing process is by creating a thesis. What are the precise points you want to make? What is the topic going to be? A quotation made by Brander Matthews about writing is, "To a beginner, the advice would be to think straight and write simply. To be clear is the first duty of a writer; to charm and to please are graces to be acquired later." Simply, make the thesis clear and precise.

Often essay writers make the mistake of using passive verbs. Action verbs make the essay come to life. William Sloan made this quotation about writing, "Verbs are the action words of the language and the most important. Turn to any passage on any page of a successful novel and notice the high percentage of verbs." If you want to please a difficult instructor, use action verbs. It is better to use adjectives that describe what is happening and not just tell the story.

A common mistake in custom college essay writing that frustrates the instructor is leaving out the conclusion. Many students will say, "This is the conclusion of my essay." They fail to give the audience a take-away value from the essay. A take-away value leaves the reader thinking about the essay. One way to give a take-away value is to ask a question. For instance, an essay written about bullies in the school system may have the following conclusion and take-away value.

Many students are afraid to go to school. They are afraid to go to the restrooms or even to go outside on the playground. Helping students to handle bullies and encouraging them to tell their teachers, principles, or even the superintendent. How can you personally help a student who may be bullied at school?

This gives a take-away value for the reader to think about even days later. The conclusion paragraph by many students is treated as unimportant, but in reality it is one of the most important parts of the essay or term paper.

Knowing how to write an introductory paragraph, use action verbs, and to write a great conclusion will help you custom write essays that will please most difficult instructors. Why not practice writing an essay that will leave your instructor pleased with your work?
