The approach to writing an essay very much depends on the essay type in question and, although there is a number of principles that can be more or less attributed to the essay as the type of academic writing in general, it is not enough to know only them in order to write a good text of this or that type.

Types of essay formats are numerous and vary from classification to classification. Sometimes this variation simply means that one kind of essay can be called in different ways, sometimes the classifications have altogether different sets of types; the approaches to writing them also differ greatly from classification to classification.

When writing an essay always take care to find enough information on the essay type you have been told to compose; the recommendations often contain detailed instructions on how to organize the entire essay, what types of essay introductions are best suited to the assignment in question and so on. And still, don’t forget about general tips, for example, no matter what essay type you are writing, all of them to a certain extent utilize the 5-paragraph construction, which means that your average essay consists of five parts: introduction, 3 parts that support the main idea or prove the point of the author and the conclusion in which this point is repeated once more and it is stated whether it has been proved or not.

Knowing this approach and using simple common sense will make writing in various types of essay formats much easier: construct the essay along these lines and utilize your logic to decide what is to be in every particular part. Persuasive essay should contain facts and statistics to persuade the reader that you are right, narrative essay recounts some experience from your life and so on and so forth.
