For reference: I read this thing. This thing was about this person (1) who began like his. This thing (a) happened and changed this person(1) because of how this thing (a) played out. This person (2) was against this person (1) from doing the thing they were trying to accomplish. {thesis} I did/ not like this thing BECAUSE of this thing, for example, this thing.
Obviously, it shouldn't be like this, but as I don't know what you're essay is about (hopefully something interesting, I hate writing essays on a topic that I don't like or don't understand!), I couldn't be more detailed. Sorry ):.
Then you should go on to your body paragraphs which are usually three to five paragraphs, unless there are specified length requirements. The body paragraphs should each have a reason supporting your thesis, and should have at least one to three examples a paragraph. Don't forget specific page numbers (if a book), name of website (Not the full address), etc.
Your conclusion should give a summary of your body paragraphs, similar to the introduction, but this time don't summarize the topic of the essay. Again, it's a summary of your essay. It should say why your essay was important and what made your perspective valid.
How you could make it interesting could be to really understand what your topic is. Is it an opinion? Are you trying to give information? Understand the topic, research it if you have to. If it's an opinion, know the main (most valid) arguments and disprove it. Usually, this can be most persuasive if you don't use the words "I, me, my, you, your, they, their" etc. if you want to give an example, you could use "one" to replace "you".
Also, you should describe everything. I read an article once (I cannot give it to you, as I am still considered a new member, but if you google search it, it'll come up, I'm sure) and it had 300+ fantastic words for several situations that could make your essay many times better right away.
I hope this helped, I write my essays using these guidelines and it hasn't failed me yet! Best of luck with your future essay writing.

Second one is the first sentences of each paragraph: this point must be very clear. They should identify exactly what that paragraph is about and shows how it relates to the rest of the essay.
Lastly it should contain a conclusion. This is the easiest part of the essay normally. Most often, all you need to do is go back to the introduction and rephrase it.
Take a few minutes to re-read your essay after completing. Correct grammatical mistakes, check to see that you have answered all parts of the question properly.
