An essay consists of several paragraphs about a topic. There are many different kinds of essays, but they all have got the same basic plan:

1. The opening (a general presentation of the topic)

2. The body (it has got one or more paragraphs which develop the topic, usually the ideas are into groups and in a logical order)

3. The closing (the paragraph which summarises the main idea or presents a conclusion. In some cases, the closing may be similar to the opening but presented in different words. It should always leave the reader with a strong impression)

When writing word order is very important in English, subject-verb agreement, the appropriate use of adjectives and connectors. Connectors are linking words which join ideas and show how those ideas are related to one another.
