- In this lesson, I give you a simple method for writing a good, effective essay in English. If you don't know where to start when you are given a writing assignment, start here and learn how to do it right!
Time changes rapidly. Two years ago I watched this video just making a simple essay 200word. Now I am making the research paper 12 pages. Thanks for everything
I would say that at the end of the day, the thesis is the most important part of your essay. However, you can't just state your thesis statement and walk away. You must back it up with research and evidence. Make sure to have at least three pieces of evidence that you can use to back up your thesis statement. Well, If you are tired of essays, term papers, quizzes, research projects, and more, I am here for you. Email me. My work is always top-notch and I take confidentiality very seriously. If you're ready for a great homework helper, email me. I can also do entire online classes.
Congrats! 🎉 It's good to see progress.
I wonder why all the good teachers exists in UA-cam, from which planet are they from? And from which planet are my teachers from????? geezez.
You summed up everything in 10min AND I understood it, and you made it seem easier, or well effectivier, which feels so motivating o__o thank you
OutsideTheCage . yes that true lol
My teacher took 3 weeks to explain this, but I am still cunfused. wtf
*You're Welcome :)*
I hate that I relate to this lol
*aya aleam12* Be PROUD!!!
God bless you my brother. I remember watching this before when I was doing my GED essay. Now I'm in college God bless you again.
Lmao I'm watching this for my GED essay too
Me too for my Bachelors Degree in the Business Management field of study at Open University at my beloved country.

+Emily James +tandem drifter thirsty nigaa lol
Evelina, hi!
How long have you been learning English?
Well in my opinions, I think he meant by that asking questions will helps you understand what you are going to write before you start writing and it will make it more easier for you to write instead of writing everything then get misplaced by paragraphs to paragraphs.
Dont take this the wrong way, you´re a great teacher man. Looks like youre teaching not just English but, deduction, induction, logic all at the same time. Cheers
i havent written an essay in 5 years. I watching this to remember how to do it. All i remember is how much i hated doing it.
Wetdookie 🤣🤣
Wetdookie sameeee here lol
I'm doing it rn...im soo frustrated. Can't think at all. I hate sooo muchh
Can relate, every time I hear a teacher say the word essay all I think about is "oooooh I just failed this God damn class" 😂
BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THINGS WISH MY ENGLISH TEACHER WAS THIS MOTIVATING AND ENERGETIC
Lol this guy guy can talk his way into your house and steal your girl while your standing still listening to whatever he'd being saying
LMAFOOOOOOO

So true
Leopoldo Lopez 😂 soooo trueeee
Yes! That's so true.
Up until high school I never realized just how important it was that the teacher was enjoying what he was teaching, I migrated to another country at 15 and up until then I didn’t enjoy studying at all. Meeting friends was the only thing fun about school, but in this new country not only is the educational system different most teachers genuinely love what they are teaching and you could actually see it in their actions, their eyes and their eagerness to help the students understand. It completely changed the negative perception I have of teachers. I started enjoying studying and my grades increased meaningfully, it had little to do with me, I only have my teachers to praise for giving me the motivation I needed through their teaching. They truly don’t get enough praise and recognition they deserve.
Im proud to know
This man is the main reason my english is better today. I could barely write a congruent sentence just 3 three months ago. Now I'm writing 24 page proposals and interesting stories like it's nothing. Thank you James Sir. 🙏
im watching this because i have an 11 page MLA format essay due this morning, and it's 12:35 AM right now
LOL story of my life
what mark did you get?!?!?!?
i didnt get graded
i got a 90
but for the record, i didnt follow this video. i was just watching this video to procrastinate. i'm actually a generally good writer.

You are the English teacher that I wish I had. Everything is straight to the point and uncomplicated. My current English teacher is rather lackadaisical in teaching. He preaches the class after every essay but does not present to us how we can fix our issues. You on the other hand do not even know the issues I have with writing yet your teachings still help tremendously! Thank you
This guy is really changing the world for all those videos he made for free!!!
Wow.. I have struggled with essay writing my whole life but this one video has taught me more about essay writing then I got out of 13 years of school. Thanks!
Thank you James! I'm watching your video to learn how to write essays for my language degree (inc. English), because if I ever learnt it at school I had since forgotten and was struggling to get through my course! I wish I'd watched these earlier in my degree, I could have gotten so much higher marks. So clear and helpful, I cannot thank you enough!
HE MAKES LEARNING SOUND FUN! FINISHED MY ESSAY FOLLOWING ALL THESE STEPS!! THANK U
The world needs more teachers like you!
James was not only funny but also very helpful. He breaks everything down to where anyone can understand it. I'm currently taking English Comp II.
I feel a lot more comfortable when I have a teacher that is fun and explains things well instead of these teachers that sit around teach lazily and judge. Your style of teaching is so refreshing,

This guy's jacked... with knowledge

I really don't have time to be typing this but Ihave to give you credit for teaching so well. Most tutorials have people droning or rambling about the topic trying to make it seem huge or themselves knowledgeable. You dove straight into the subject and kept your pace constant so nobody loses their interest. Great video! Ty.
As interactive, fun, and educational teacher this guy is, i highly doubt that a girl at a bar will want to learn about english. Great video. Helped me a lot. I wish i was taught this earlier at my age.
To all in here thinking that college is hard I'm 43 and in college and have to manage working full time,bills,car payment,rent phones,kids etc.You young guys and girls that still live with your parents take advantage of no bills just school and hanging out go for it.Its hard for all even me so join the club.

Nasty FingurZ depends on your major. Try this while trying to become an engineer. Hahah thought so.
college is hard
Ok boomer
just thinking about college hurts my head.
+SONIE You'll be just fine
But it will get you into a door of a good career field making some good money I will say that
***** I can read and write really good my major is Psychology with a concentration in Forensics. Why you asked?
Bruh I'm in college and it's just pure essays...
What is your major?
Learned more in this ten minute video than I have in three years of secondary schooling. Thank you. It seems much easier now.
If every teacher was like you this world would be a much better place

This guy is GREAT!!! Wish we had more teachers like him in our schools.
Excellent video sir. Your explanations are clear and concise, but what really sells the whole process is how you describe and emphasize each section of a good essay throughout the video. The references to everyday life draw in and engage the viewer and make educational, entertaining as well. This video has been the first time in a long time where I have enjoyed an English lesson, so thank you.
This video shows the right way that all channel makers on UA-cam should pursue! Amazingly clear, interesting and helpful!
I'm watching videos last minute cause I have my English written diploma tomorrow and i have no idea how to write an essay lmao. High school why haven't you thought me anything lol
Same. Crying.
Did you try in high school?
JJ Keller lmao YEP. I try sO hard in school
"thought" did you go to high school?
TheGrizzleHouse guess I didn't read it over ヽ( ´¬`)ノ
"Hi, my name is James, can I kiss you? Ow!"
This is why James is the best, he makes learning English fun, unlike my dull teacher.
Thank you James! I passed my exams with the SECOND highest score because of you!
This video is 12 years ago, that time I was 10 years old. I'm 22 years old today but as I have watched your latest video I think you're not getting older Mr. James. Same appearance 'til now. By the way, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I can't stop watching you❤
UR SOO MUCH FUN.... I wish u were my ENG PROF!
me tooooooo!
In high school, I was told by one or two teachers to NOT ask a question. However, I think in college things like that are a little less strict...
I think you're a bit confused about the question thing. What teachers mean when they say that is that your thesis should not BE a question. Your thesis should be the answer to the question and your essay will be about exploring and proving that answer. For instance, if you're asked to write a character analysis from the Harry Potter series, you start by asking questions: "Why did J. K. Rowling make up a character like...Nevel or Dobie or Snape?" "What role does that character play--physically, emotionally, philosophically?" For instance, if I picked Snape I could ask questions about who he really is (as opposed to how he showed himself throughout the books) and what lessons Rowling was maybe trying to teach us through this character. I might even be able to draw from real live people who chose to hide their true selves for the greater good (watch Valkyrie w/ Tom Cruise). My thesis would grow out from my answers to these questions. The real first step of an essay is to ask questions then RESEARCH for the answer. It's not to come up with your thesis and then "prove" it. This leads to looking for information that supports your thesis rather than allowing your thesis to develop from your understanding of a topic. Hope that clears things up for you.
Aaah, that makes sense! Thank you. I see the difference.
It's ironic you said in high school, however, you don't truly learn much in high school, but in college where it's very hard. You must be someone willing to past his or her tests.Who am I? I'm just a guy who is in college who knew something was wrong last year when I failed my mid term, so since that time I have been on a journey of learning effective ways to study.
1. Ask question
2.thesis (strongly said or stated )
3 . introduction (+thesis)
4. Proof (main reasons + supporting ieads)
5. Conclusion
He gave us the master key for effective essays. .. ...and that too is so simple to use.
you're incredibly good teacher .. especially the jokes you make , hope you have a successful career
I wish I had a English teacher like you!
This method is the exact way I was taught how to do legal research when I was in paralegal school. We called it IRAC (Intro, Research, Analysis, and Conclusion). Same thing just about. Great lesson James!!!
He makes the process of writing so easy to understand. Please put more videos up. Thank you my friend!
I'm taking a college comp midterm in 45 mins. I haven't written a paper in 5 years lol
same feels, in a way in which I haven't written for almost a year (and we are told earlier to write an essay and pass it tomorrow) sigh
Jason Michael Damn how'd it go
You're the best teacher that I never had. ;-;
I am a first-time writer. This kind of lesson gives me a step towards my writing career in the future.
Thank you very much for this video! My mother tongues are German and Turkish. In a few days I'm going to write an essay in English. You helped me a lot.
I just want to be successful
Ah, fuckin, men
+Blballerboy shoutyour mouth
yeah fool
Are you successful yet?
me too
damn that intro tho😂
I know right I was laughing so hard
This vid has to be approaching a decade old by now, and it is THE best EVER!!! I have taught this to every student I have ever had! Thanks, James!
Anyone who takes the time to "TEACH" another is someone who cares and wants to see others do well. Can it be any more obvious? This man is amazing and has helped plenty of people based on the comments written by people who appreciate him and learning in general. Pay no mind to those that comment in a negative manner because they are a bit upset because they are unable to grasp the concepts of learning anything in their own lives. I think you are fantastic and you should continue doing videos. :)

I've had a battle with english this year and you have taught me more in 10 mins than my useless teacher has in a year.
James I really liked this video do you have videos or can you produce a video about "comma rules" in essays ?
perfect now I can prove I'm not an imposter...
Great to find this video from +10 years I enjoy a lot your teaching James
I subscribed to him as soon as i saw this. His friendly manner helps just before a test, IGCSE and he really knows what he's talking about
That turtleneck tho
Thank you so much, I have an exam tomorrow comprising 3 essays and this helped me out alot. I hope I remember all of these tips, I'm nervous!
Danielle Marshall ...so how did it go
I had a mental block about writing papers. And this has helped me, to feel more at ease to start my essay paper I have due in 2 days. Thank you so much! For making this video , I have be taken college courses and this is much easier to understand compared to 5 years of college courses.
This is incredibly helpful and simple. Also, straight to the point with effective examples. Thank you so much!
Hi james, your videos have really helped me with my writing, you kept it fun and interesting all the way, keep doing more! thank you! :D
I really love your hand-writing!
I have an essay due at 5 pm and its 7:30 am and i forgot EVERYTHING about writing essays, Thank you for this!
In total a healthy essay is about 6 paragraphs,
-intro-1 paragraph
-body-3 paragraphs (main reason is the first sentence of each paragraph)
-rebuttal - 1 paragraph (that introduces 3 main reasons that rebutals your main reason, in which you use 3 evidences to contradict those rebutals)
-and outro, restate your main reasons and thesis, also keep it mostly formal
"-what kind of bond?
-James bond"

What an effective video! So well spoken, clear and concise.
Great tips. Well done!

What not to do at a stoplight...

1. Ask a question
2. Write a thesis statement
(Answer the question)
3. Write an introduction
(including your thesis
4. Prove your thesis
Essay Body
-->main reason
-->supporting ideas
5. Write your conclusion
I really appreciate James' recaps throughout the video. I only wish he actually touched on conclusion since that is where many of us tend to struggle.
ITS 5:24 AND MINE IS DUE AT 7
Did u do it in time ?
How'd it go
your a great English teacher I hope you have a job if not that's just crazy please come teach at my school the only good English teacher we have is advanced placement and you have to get a certain grade for that class haha
I learnt more from this 10 minute vid then an entire week of English classes in year 10
English is my only language, but you seem to be able to drill ideas into my head better than most other instructors.
very effective and better than cs go knife!
SCREWD
I have a 50 word essay due tomorrow at midnight, and I haven't even started yet. I'm so fucked!
50 word. Easy as fuck.
Lol That's funny 50 word really. That's just a introduction. My college minimum is 600+ word.
i think he is one of the best teachers of all ETERNITY!!
Thank I really appreciate your lesson, you saved me so much time.
2019! 10 years since😲😲😲😭
If essay is about internet: good or bad? [Easiest example]
1st para:
Intro
Thesis statement
Rhetorical question
1 Advantage and 1 Disadvantage.
At least 5 sentences
2nd para:
This paragraph can be an advantage or disadvantage. Take all the points in mind and connect them by *linking words, very important*.
3rd para:
If it's a disadvantage, first line must be "On the contrary", then start with points followed by linking words.
4th para:
The first line must be telling about the author's opinion. Conclude the whole essay by summarizing the whole thing in a sentence or two.
Well, this is what I learned at school, care to share yours?
This is very similar to what I was taught, but the only difference my teacher was a war vet.....not a movie star (MR. FREEMAN) LOL!!!!THANK YOU. A loyal fan.
Very effective when one needs to explain to teenagers. He's so charming!
Thank you for your hard work James
i like these teachers on youtube i have them repeat everything as many times as i need so that i understand
