The first step to writing an essay after topic selection and narrowing it to a very specific one is to begin the research process. Research is the first and most crucial step to essay writing because without appropriate knowledge you will not be able to write well. In order to write well, it is essential for you to know your topic by reading as much as you can. |

Read extensively and comprehensively and incorporate wisely The key to writing an excellent essay or research paper is to read extensively and reflect your depth of knowledge in your research. The more resources you use the better your chances of an A Grade research paper, which should include the best of all the knowledge you have gained. The key here is not simply summarising what you have read, rather incorporating all the research intelligently using the best of what you have read and researched. Using quotations from different authentic sources will add that scholarly spark to your paper. Quotations should never be used from single or same sources but should be well distributed from all the research resources. Keep the use of quotations balanced since too many will make the paper appear as though you have only copied without comprehending the topic and too few will reflect on lack of knowledge and research. |
