An essay is a piece of writing that is written to provide information about a certain topic or

points, and ideas are briefly written here.
 The body. All the main ideas, topics, and subject are discussed here in details. This also
includes evidence or information that support the essay.
 The conclusion. The last part of an essay and usually summarizes the overall topic or
ideas of an essay.
