Question

Most essays are made up of a beginning, a middle and an end．The beginning arouses the reader’s interest to     his attention to the subject of the essay or     the necessary background information. The middle gives us clear and logical     of the facts and ideas the writer intends to put forth. The end winds up the essay with a forceful statement to influence the reader’s     impression and shows consequences of the argument.

To the writer the beginning is often the hardest part of an essay, because he has to decide from what point to     , and in what direction to go. The end is important because it often gives the reader the deepest impression. It should be short, forceful and thought-provoking. No     ideas should be introduced in a concluding paragraph.
