Help in correctly writing the essay-expression.
The main difficulty in writing an essaybot on the English language Unified State Exam is determining the problem raised in the proposed text. If the problem is incorrectly defined, the essay can - on the kindness of the examiner - receive 2-5 points, no more, out of a maximum of 23.
When the problem is defined, creating an essay structure is quite easy:
The essay-expression in the format of the USE (structure)
1. definition and formulation of the problem (in the form of a dualistic thesis or problem question).
2. Commentary on the problem.
3. The author's position on the problem.
4. Your position on the problem raised.
5,6. Arguments proving the validity of your position (at least 2).
7. A conclusion that generally repeats your (and the author's) position on the problem.
It is easy to note that the problem is the basis for each essay part, of which there should be 7 (unless the USE committee insists on an obligatory introduction).
1. Definition and formulation of the problem
Strange as it may sound, we will formulate the problem when we define the author's position. Read the text and answer the essays reviews: what topic is it about? what does it condemn, what does it admire, what does the author want to tell us?
2. Commentary on the problem
Next - comments to the problem (they will basically repeat our reasoning, we can only change the beginning: We read this question between the lines of Chekhov's story. Its hero - the owner of the pawnshop Judin - absolutely precisely defines all the ugly injustice of life, and does it in private with himself, sincerely ... and further as reasoned).
3. Author's position
Then there is the author's position: Chekhov believes that one must begin to change the world with oneself. If everyone will do at least one good deed a day, will act in conscience, not for profit, the world will not need laws and revolutions - it will become beautiful! But to do this, we must learn not to separate our thoughts and actions, and stop being duplicitous.
4. Your position
Your position will repeat the author's position in its essence. Immediately stipulate that it is possible to disagree with the author, but such work will require much more effort, irrefutable arguments and undeniable skill in writing essays-discussions, because you will have to refute "eternal truths", which always become the basis for examination texts.
5,6. Arguments
When your own position is formulated, arguments are given to support it. There should be at least 2 of them: 1 reader's (from fiction or journalistic literature) and 1 "real life" (historical analogy, statistical data, well-known contemporary facts, etc.) or 2 reader's - both combinations are evaluated equally (3 points) if successfully chosen.
The argument should have the following structure: repetition in general terms or in essence of the original position (in our case: a person says one thing, does another, evil multiplies) - the result that you predict in your opinion on the problem (a person will change - the world will change).
7. Conclusion
The conclusion once again - for the second time - confirms the author's position (and now yours as well).
It is desirable to make it more open: with prognoses, wishes, even morals, for example: Only by improving yourself, like Leo Tolstoy, by eradicating your own imperfections, can we change life. A person cannot be made better against his will; he cannot be "inculcated with love for his homeland or a sense of compassion": by our example, by our spiritual feat, we root out the abominations, both our own and those around us.
