Hey guys!

I´m going to give you some tips to write an essay:

  1. RESEARCH: Begin the essay writing process by researching your topic.
  2. ANALYSIS: Analyze the arguments you have read and define the claims topics, the reasons and evidences. Point out the weaknesses and strengths.
  3. IDEA (Brainstorming): The essay needs a genuine writing. Ask yourself questions about the topic and answer them.
  4. THESIS: Your thesis is your main point. Summed up in a concise sentence that lets the reader know where you are going and why. It´s practically impossible to write a good essay without a clear thesis.
  5. OUTLINE: Make sketches before writing your essay. Make sure each paragraph is concise and coherent.
  6. INTRODUCTION: It should introduce main arguments and grab the reader´s attention, leading them to the body of the essay.
  7. PARAGRAPHS: Each paragraph should be focused on a single idea.
  8. INTRODUCTION: The introduction should grab the readers´attention and introduce the main arguments concisely, leading the readers to the body of the essay.
  9. BODY: Show one idea per paragraph support your argument with evidences, references or examples. Use punctuation correctly, be concise and clear. Don´t be personal. Avoid paragraphs that are too long and connect then using linking works.
  10. CONCLUSION: Sum up arguments and never introduce new ideas into the last paragraph.

THE 10 PRINCIPLES OF LISTENING


A good listener will listen not only to what is being said, but also to what is left unsaid or only partially said.
Effective listening involves observing body language and noticing inconsistencies between verbal and non-verbal messages.
For example, if someone tells you that they are happy with their life but through gritted teeth or with tears filling their eyes, you should consider that the verbal and non-verbal messages are in conflict, they maybe don't mean what they say.


1. Stop Talking
“If we were supposed to talk more than we listen, we would have two tongues and one ear.” Mark Twain.
Don't talk, listen. When somebody else is talking listen to what they are saying, do not interrupt, talk over them or finish their sentences for them. Stop, just listen. When the other person has finished talking you may need to clarify to ensure you have received their message accurately.

2. Prepare Yourself to Listen
Relax. Focus on the speaker. Put other things out of mind. The human mind is easily distracted by other thoughts – what’s for lunch, what time do I need to leave to catch my train, is it going to rain – try to put other thoughts out of mind and concentrate on the messages that are being communicated.

3. Put the Speaker at Ease
Help the speaker to feel free to speak. Remember their needs and concerns. Nod or use other gestures or words to encourage them to continue. Maintain eye contact but don’t stare – show you are listening and understanding what is being said.

4. Remove Distractions
Focus on what is being said: don’t doodle, shuffle papers, look out the window, pick your fingernails or similar. Avoid unnecessary interruptions. These behaviours disrupt the listening process and send messages to the speaker that you are bored or distracted.

5. Empathise
Try to understand the other person’s point of view. Look at issues from their perspective. Let go of preconceived ideas. By having an open mind we can more fully empathise with the speaker. If the speaker says something that you disagree with then wait and construct an argument to counter what is said but keep an open mind to the views and opinions of others. 

See our page: What is Empathy?

6. Be Patient
A pause, even a long pause, does not necessarily mean that the speaker has finished. Be patient and let the speaker continue in their own time, sometimes it takes time to formulate what to say and how to say it. Never interrupt or finish a sentence for someone.

7. Avoid Personal Prejudice
Try to be impartial. Don't become irritated and don't let the person’s habits or mannerisms distract you from what they are really saying. Everybody has a different way of speaking - some people are for example more nervous or shy than others, some have regional accents or make excessive arm movements, some people like to pace whilst talking - others like to sit still. Focus on what is being said and try to ignore styles of delivery.

8. Listen to the Tone
Volume and tone both add to what someone is saying. A good speaker will use both volume and tone to their advantage to keep an audience attentive; everybody will use pitch, tone and volume of voice in certain situations – let these help you to understand the emphasis of what is being said. 

See our page: Effective Speaking for more.

9. Listen for Ideas – Not Just Words
You need to get the whole picture, not just isolated bits and pieces. Maybe one of the most difficult aspects of listening is the ability to link together pieces of information to reveal the ideas of others. With proper concentration, letting go of distractions, and focus this becomes easier.

10. Wait and Watch for Non-Verbal Communication
Gestures, facial expressions, and eye-movements can all be important. We don’t just listen with our ears but also with our eyes – watch and pick up the additional information being transmitted via non-verbal communication.
