　　A Successful Essay

　　The secret to a successful essay isn’t just in the clever things you talk about and the way you structure your points.

　　Here are the words and phrases you need to write an essay, along with examples of how to utilize them. There should be enough below to help you make an instant improvement to your essay-writing skills.

　　1. In order to

　　Usage: “In order to” can be used to introduce an explanation for the purpose of an argument.

　　Example: “In order to understand X, we need first to understand Y.”

　　2. In other words

　　Usage: Use “in other words” when you want to express something in a different way (more simply), to make it easier to understand, or to emphasise or expand on a point.

　　Example: “Frogs are amphibians. In other words, they live on the land and in the water.”

　　3. To put it another way

　　Usage: This phrase is another way of saying “in other words”, and can be used when you feel that it may help the reader achieve a better understanding of its importance.

　　Example: “Plants rely on photosynthesis. To put it another way, they will die without the sun.”

　　4. To that end

　　Usage: Use “to that end” or “to this end” in a similar way to “in order to” or “so”.

　　Example: “Zoologists have long sought to understand how animals communicate with each other. To that end, a new study has been launched that looks at elephant sounds and their possible meanings.”

　　5. Furthermore

　　Usage:This is also generally used at the start of a sentence, to add extra information.

　　Example: “Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that…”

　　6. What’s more

　　Usage: This is used in the same way as “moreover” and “furthermore”.

　　Example: “What’s more, this isn’t the only evidence that supports this hypothesis.”

　　7. Similarly

　　Usage: Use “similarly” in the same way as “likewise”.

　　Example: “Audiences at the time reacted with shock to Beethoven’s new work,because it was very different to what they were used to. Similarly, we have a tendency to react with surprise to the unfamiliar.”

　　8. Not only… but also

　　Usage: This wording is used to add an extra piece of information, often something that’s in some way more surprising or unexpected than the first piece of information.

　　Example: “Not only did Edmund Hillary have the honour of being the first to reach the summit of Everest, but he was also appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.”

　　9. Firstly, secondly, thirdly…

　　Usage: This can be used to structure an argument, presenting facts clearly one after the other.

　　Example: “There are many points in support of this view. Firstly, X. Secondly,Y. And thirdly, Z."

　　10. However

　　Usage: Use “however” to introduce a point that disagrees with what you’ve just said.

　　Example: “Scholar A thinks this. However, Scholar B reached a different conclusion.”
