Welcome to my Writing Webpage, where you can find some articles about writing a good essay. I have included two articles about the 5-paragraph essay (one in favor and one against).
For students at intermediate-high to advanced levels, I feel the 5-paragraph essay is too limiting. But if a student is beginning to learn how to write an essay in English, the 5-paragraph essay may be helpful.
 This website by James Cook University explains the process of writing an essay
