Essay Structure

រចនាសម្ព័ន្ធតែងសេចក្តីកម្រិតខ្ពស់

An essay is like a building. It needs a foundation (Introduction), strong walls (Body Paragraphs), and a roof (Conclusion).

តែងសេចក្តីគឺជាសំណេរដែលមានរចនាសម្ព័ន្ធត្រឹមត្រូវ។ វាត្រូវមាន សេចក្តីផ្តើម តួសេចក្តី និងសេចក្តីបញ្ចប់។

សេចក្តីផ្តើម

Starts with a Hook (to grab attention) and ends with a Thesis Statement (the main point of the whole essay).

សេចក្តីបញ្ចប់

Restate your Thesis Statement in different words. Summarize your main points and leave a final thought.

warning The Wandering Paragraph!

Don't go off-topic!

រាល់ប្រយោគនៅក្នុងកថាខណ្ឌតួសេចក្តី ត្រូវតែគាំទ្រដល់ Topic Sentence របស់វា! កុំយកព័ត៌មានដែលមិនពាក់ព័ន្ធមកឡូកឡំគ្នា។

(Topic: Why phones are helpful.) Phones help us communicate. I also really like pizza. ❌

(Pizza has nothing to do with phones!)
