Effective Essay Writing Techniques

WELCOME TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE ONLINE TODAY I AM GOING TO SHARE A TOPIC ABOUT Effective Essay Writing Techniques Composed By Asad Nazir Awan

Extremist is a person who resorts to an act of violence (an extreme step) instead of opting for peace dialogue or non-violent measures.

Effective Essay Writing Technique was written for the benefits of the CSS and other competitive exams students  where different steps were pinpointed how to write an essay by highlighting an outline. In this article, due to the request of the readers, I would do my best to explore how to start an essay, what type of format is required and what is the demand of the examiner. By following these techniques, I hope, students will get excellent marks in the essay paper. I will continue with the previous essay, "Extremism in Pakistan".

Extremism in Pakistan 
Start an essay preferably by writing a quotation to attract the attention of examiner.

King Martin Luther said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  (Relate this quotation to the topic) American support  to Israeli’s occupation, Indian terrorism in Kashmir, Russian aggression in Afghanistan and Chechenya, and western anti Islamic  campaign under "Clash of Civilizations" generated savage culture of bloodshed.

In the next paragraph, introduce the title with exact information to show its relevancy.

Extremism in Pakistan is the fallout of Russian invasion of Afghanistan (1989), fuelled by Shia- Sunni proxy war, aggravated by Pakistan’s assistance to Mujahideen in Kashmir, finally, accelerated after 9/11. The chain of madressas, allegedly funded through ‘dollars’, misinterpreted Jihad. Social injustice, illiteracy and chronic poverty added fuel to the fire. US pressure to "Do More" syndrome angered the disgruntled warriors. Above all, General Zia and Musharraf’s solo policy-making made Pakistan "A Front line State." Resultantly, people of Pakistan, painfully suffered by suicide bombings and attack on peace keeping agencies.
(Now, if needed, define the basic terms of the topic to describe its development from the basics)

Extremist is a person who resorts to an act of violence (an extreme step) instead of opting for peace dialogue or non-violent measures. Generally, an extremist is viewed as an intolerant, short tampered and self righteous person. This phenomenon aims at intimidating the opponents to accept their views or demands. The term is not only applied to religious but also to social, political and military hardliners who desperately propagate their doctrines.  

Keeping in view the outline, narrate the present scenario by writing some events. Give topic sentence instead of writing a heading. Underline the key word of topic sentence of each paragraph.

The present bloody scenario presents a gruesome picture of Pakistan Army fighting in Swat.  The IDPs have  terribly suffered financial, mental and physical losses. The foreign terrorist, indifferent to our national interest, have taken refuge in tribal areas to the utter wrath of US. The uncontrolled drone attacks are killing terrorists along with innocent masses. Richard Holbrocke’s frequent visits to Islamabad are working on hidden agenda of US. The liberal personality of Benazir murdered ruthlessly. …….. etc. (The events may be divided into various paragraphs)

Before starting causes, write them clearly

Following are the multifarious causes at international level which are responsible for this madness (give synonym to extremism.)

Ineffective Security Council has established American hegemony at the cost of freedom of Muslim countries (topic sentence). The UN Charter allows an attack against any aggressor, if it is in the common interest of the members states. Further (a linking word) the peace-keeping forces of security council could invade the country. After 9/11, the American resolution was unanimously passed against the Talban’s regime. But, while invading Iraq, President Bush said,

“We will bypass Security Council.”

Unfortunately, this world body kept criminal silence over this injustice.  The Charter promises that no country can interfere in the internal matter of the member state. In contrast, the SC resolutions on Kashmir have been declared Outdated. Likewise, North Korea is only facing sanctions, even after launching successful nuclear tests. Whereas, Iran is continuously being threatened by use of force, as in Obama’s words, “Iran’s nuclear programme is against American Security." American blue eyed, Israel is adamant to implement  agreed peace Accord. So, SC has been a shameful failure in protecting the legitimate rights of the Muslim world. The paragraph must contain examples, arguments, analysis and short statements.

Similarly, the UN Charter does not allow any state to interfere in the internal matters of other member state. While Bush’s claim of bringing “Democracy in Iraq” and liberation of Iraqis from the tyrant regime of Saddam are violations of the Charter. In the same way, American criticism of Ahmdi Najad’s second term of presidency and Richard Holboke’s dictation to Pakistan- are mockery of the world system. Finally, Security Council could not check extremism in America. The extremist groups justify their lethal actions against this backdrop of helplessness and injustice. 

The candidate should develop points in well-structured paragraphs with conciseness, relevancy and accuracy.
