• Your How-to Informative Essay must have 3 paragraphs: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
The introduction needs to present the topic and grab the attention of the audience. It needs to
include the focus sentence for the entire essay.
Example:
“How to Make Friends”
“It is not easy to make friends. Real friends are rare in this world. Man is a social animal
and instinctively seeks companions. We come across countless people but with everybody we
do not make friends. The essential condition of friendship between two persons is affinity of mind,
tastes, temperaments or pursuits.”
The middle or the body paragraph will be the main bulk of the essay and it will contain all the
important facts that you are covering. This is where the audience will get their questions
answered. Remember to answer these questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how.
Example:
“We can make friends if we love people, if we are good and sincere to them and if we
share their joys and sorrows. We are to make friends if we do to others as we would be done by.
Friendship is a matter of give and take. We can make friends if we are ready with our sympathy
for others in their times of trouble. Adversity is the touchstone of friendship. Two friends are like
one soul living in two bodies.”
The end is a conclusion paragraph where you will summarize the essay. It should spur the reader
or listener to learn more about the topic.
Example:
“A true friend is an unmixed blessing. He sweetens our life, heightens our joys and lightens
our sorrow. Even death cannot separate such a friend from us. Friendship is like the sweet scent
of the flowers of different colours and odours in a beautifully decorated vase. It is a divine spark
motivating our noble actions. It is a sweet song of a cuckoo, filling our hearts with joy and
happiness. It is like a lighted match in a dark room.”
