Definition; An essay is a formal,flowing piece of writing with a focused subject of discussion, in which the author presents an objective, reasoned, evidence-based argument. Essays usually have a four-part structure: "Introduction", "Background", "Discussion" and "Conclusions". Headings and sub-heading give structure to essays and help authors create a logical flow to the content of their essays. Essays are primarily text-based, but may include figures and tables.
