What are the main points to write a really good essay?

Try to describe a challenging or fascinating situation, with the right words.  Avoid giving a simplistic or obvious answer.  To accomplish this, a person should ask what is special about this situation, what is most important, and what is difficult to explain.

Is there a certain structure I should use?

One general advice is to start with a good introduction, that explains the problem or question.  Use a transition to explain how your point is important to answer the question.  Follow with a good conclusion that answers the question directly and firmly.  Also include the topic in your introduction and conclusion, and state the problem as your main point, as a thesis.

All good ideas, very useful. I'm limited in the amount of words I can use, though. How can I make effective points in less words? I feel like I'm using too many.
