But not many of us paused to consider the amount of effort that goes into cooking that turkey to lip-smacking perfection.

The best essay structures are the ones that have been prepared with careful consideration and are always there to give a hand in taking the essay forward.

No matter the kind of essay you need to write, the 5-paragraph structure can form the base of outlining your essay. The trick is to keep adding paragraphs in the body paragraphs while keeping the rest of the essay structure intact. That is how you can turn a 5-paragraph essay structure into any essay outline of your choice. Writing an essay containing five paragraphs is perhaps one of the first writing assignments that we used to get as kids in school. If you know how to stick to a basic five-paragraph essay format, there will be no stopping you from getting the best grades in essays. Here is how you structure a 5-paragraph essay. Introduction: Should include definitions, a brief overview of the topic, and your thesis statement (if any). Body Paragraph 01: Deals with the first argument. Contains one or more topic sentences to highlight the argument in question. Must contain suitable examples, stats or evidence to support the argument. Must end with a sentence that links to the next paragraph. Body Paragraph 02: Same as the first body paragraph, only this time dealing with a different argument. Must end with a sentence that links to the next paragraph. Body Paragraph 03: Same as the first two body paragraphs, dealing with yet another argument. This too must end with a sentence that links to the next paragraph. Conclusion: Should include a brief summary of the arguments, should restate the thesis and should preferably contain a call to action in the end. That’s all there is to the structure of an essay with five paragraphs. Read on to find out how you can use this simple format to customize essay outlines as per your requirements.
