Putting together (مل کر  )assignments (کام )or coursework can be a difficult (مشکل )and complicated (پیچیدہ )undertaking for any undergraduate. For most people (لوگ )good (اچھا )writing doesn't come naturally(قدرتی طور پر ), it is however (تاہم )a skill (مہارت )that can be learnt.
This page (صفحہ )has been written (لکھا )for university students and is intended (ارادہ )to be step by step (قدم )guide to helping them write professional essays. It will do this by giving (دے )them practical advice(مشورہ ), examples (مثال کے طور پر )and tips (تجاویز )on producing (پیدا )documents that are error free(مفت ), well structured, argumentative (جھگڑالو )and easy (آسان )to read(پڑھنے ).
Right (ٹھیک ہے )here (یہاں )they’ll find (تلاش )everything (سب کچھ )they need (کی ضرورت )to know (معلوم )about creating (تخلیق )academic (تعلیمی )papers that are of interest (دلچسپی )and value to those who read them. They will learn (جاننے کے )how to produce (پیدا )a original (اصل )piece of work that (کہ )will be unique, makes the reader sit up and keeps their interest alive throughout the essay.

Secondly essays (مضامین )can tell the reader (ریڈر )a lot about the person (انسان )who has written (لکھا )them and go a long (طویل )way towards demonstrating their communication (مواصلات )and language (زبان )skills. Thirdly they can convey (تک پہنچا )the character (کردار )of the author (مصنف )and give an insight into their personality(شخصیت ), both of which can influence (اثر انداز )a tutor (ٹیوٹر )or examiner(آڈیٹر ).
THIS RESOURCE (وسائل )PAGE WILL SHOW STUDENTS HOW TO
CLEAR WRITING IMPLIES (کا مطلب ہے )CLEAR THINKING(سوچ )
Irrespective (قطع نظر )of the field of study, essays should aim to make (بنانے )a connection (کنکشن )between yourself and the reader. This best way to do this is by producing (پیدا )a document (دستاویز )that is easy (آسان )and understandable (فہم )for people (لوگ )to read whilst at the same time clearly summarizing in it the central idea you want to get across(بھر ). Here are some (کچھ )tips to do this:
- Keep sentences (سزائیں )short and (اور )to the point.
- Use plain language (زبان )and simple words (but not simplistic (سادہ )or patronising words(الفاظ )).
- Keep (رکھنے )to the facts(حقائق ).
THE BASIC (بنیادی )STAGES OF ESSAY WRITING(لکھنے )
Think about (کے بارے میں )and analyse what EXACTLY (بالکل )the lecturer (لیکچرر )or assignment wants you to do.
Identify (شناخت )the key points (پوائنٹس )that your essay (مضمون )must address(ایڈریس ).
Decide (فیصلہ )on the essays (مضامین )outline by starting (شروع )to formulate (مرتب )the ideas and arguments related to the subject.
Decide (فیصلہ )on the type of essay (مضمون )format (شکل )and layout you want to use.
Begin to gather (جمع )the relevant information (معلومات )and facts.
Start (شروع )to write (لکھنے )the first (پہلے )draft of your (اپنے )essay, including (سمیت )the introduction and conclusion. This version should be aimed at yourself.
At this stage (مرحلے )it is (ہے )advisable to take a break (توڑ )of a few hours.
Start to revise (نظر ثانی )and refine your (اپنے )first essay draft, this time write it for your target (ہدف )audience.
Keep repeating (بار بار )the process (عمل )of taking a brea(روٹی )(ایک )k and revising (نظرثانی )your essay until you are happy with it.
Finally (آخر میں )get a friend (دوست )to proof (ثبوت )read your work (کام )and use software (سافٹ ویئر )(or read it out aloud to yourself) to check for spelling and grammatical mistakes(غلطیوں ).
WRITING PARAGRAPHS(پیرا )
These are several (کئی )related sentences (سزائیں )written (لکھا )about a particular (خاص طور پر )topic and that are grouped together to form a paragraph, which in turn is part of a larger article. Before you do anything decide on what (کیا )idea, information or point of view you want to get across in the paragraph. The key to writing (لکھنے )good informative (معلوماتی )paragraphs (پیرا )is to organise and break (توڑ )them down into the following sections:
THINGS TO CHECK(چیک کرنے کے لیے )
Make (بنانے )sure the margins (مارجن )are in order (حکم )and aligned.
Use the correct titles and ensure (کو یقینی بنانے کے )they are placed in the right locations.
Make sure (اس بات کا یقین )the essay (مضمون )reads right(ٹھیک ہے ), flows like a conversation (بات چیت )and that the sentences run smoothly from one to the other(دیگر ).
Does the essay (مضمون )make (بنانے )sense(احساس ).
Look for spelling(ہجے ), punctuation (اوقاف )and grammar (گرائمر )mistakes(غلطیوں ).
Have a friend (دوست )or another third party (پارٹی )proof (ثبوت )read it.
TRANSITION (منتقلی )WORDS
These are words or phrases (جملے )that are the glue (سریس )that ensure (کو یقینی بنانے کے )paragraphs (پیرا )and sentences continue to be related and remain connected. They can improve the quality (معیار )of an essay by helping to connect (مربوط )one idea to the next. Below are some examples of transitions words:
ESSAY WRITING TIPS(تجاویز )
Do not leave (چھوڑ )your essay to the last day before a deadline(ڈیڈ لائن ).
Try to write (لکھنے )‘in your own (اپنے )voice’, as if you (آپ )are having a conversation with a friend.
Clearly understand the subject (موضوع )matter before you do anything.
Organise your research material.
Read other (دیگر )well written essays on similar subject matters. This will now only give you a feel about how to present your work, but will show you the standards that you have to meet (سے ملاقات )and give you ideas (خیالات )(but do not plagiarise.
Try to make (بنانے )the essay interesting.
Make any arguments (دلائل )and conclusions (نتیجہ )consistent (مسلسل )throughout (بھر )the essay.
Go over every (ہر )draft you write and cross (پار )out words (الفاظ )that you do not need (کی ضرورت )to use.
Try reading your essay (مضمون )out aloud to yourself(خود ), this will help (مدد )to spot any errors you may have made.
Take regular (باقاعدہ )breaks (ٹوٹ )and then reread, refine (کو بہتر بنانے )and rewrite (دوبارہ سے لکھنا )it.
Try to use as few (چند )words as possible, for instance (مثال کے طور پر )don’t use five words when you can use two.
If you want (چاہتے )you can up any arguments (دلائل )with quotations from industry (صنعت )professionals, these can give more weight to a particular point of view(دیکھنے کے ).
Be sure (اس بات کا یقین )to reference (حوالہ )any sources (ذرائع )you use.
Have a friend (دوست )proof (ثبوت )read your completed (مکمل )work(کام ), they may spot mistakes (غلطیوں )that you have missed.
Finish (ختم )off your articles (مضامین )with a concluding (اختتامی )and authoritative (مستند )statement (بیان )or sentence, it is much better than just letting a essay trail (پگڈنڈی )off.
Do not use words (الفاظ )that you do not know (معلوم )the meaning (مطلب )of. |
