Open with a clear definition or contemporary context in two sentences. Avoid dramatic quotes unless you can connect them tightly to the prompt.
Devote one paragraph each to causes, implications, and constructive measures. Use specific examples—policy names, data points, or recent events—rather than vague generalities.
Close with a measured summary that acknowledges trade-offs. Proofread for grammar and word limit compliance in the final two minutes.
Introduction hooks
Start with definition, data, or a short scenario—avoid generic “In today’s world” openings examiners see hundreds of times.
Time allocation
In a 30-minute essay, budget five minutes for outline, twenty for body, five for proofread—especially subject-verb agreement in closing lines.
