EssaysHow to write these essays
An essay on a festival or a national day has a natural order. Say what the day is and when it comes, tell why it is celebrated (the story or the history), describe how people celebrate it, and end with its message. The best marks go to essays that add something personal: how your own family or school celebrates, what you like most, what you would change.
