Good morning.

It sounds like your teacher wants you to write either a formal or informal essay to inform your readers about smoking. Your instructor has given you the four things he/she wants you to include in the essay, so you need to fill in the content.

It looks as if you will have to do some research for these prompts. Do you need to cite your sources? If so, you will be doing a formal essay, and you need to know the rules of your referencing style. If not, then you will be doing an informal essay, and general statements will probably be acceptable. I suggest you begin your research doing keyword searches on the internet. Use your prompts as search criteria; "What are the harmful effects of smoking?", "Why is smoking so popular in (blank) country?". These types of searches will help you find the research you need to acurately explain these prompts.

Once you have your research ready, I can help you create an outline, which you can then create a rough draft from.
Good luck!

Good afternoon.

Referencing styles are different ways to cite information in academic writing. Your instructor may require you to use MLA, Harvard, or APA citation styles for example; however there are others. You will need to check with your teacher about this, because if it is a formal essay for an exam I'm sure you will need to cite your sources.

My teacher informed me of using the Havard style

Yes, it's easy to find and copy-paste what you found online :). Only if you come up with something original, you may post it here.

You probably aren't going to find one website with everything you need on it, and that is one of the reasons for referencing your sources.

I suggest working on an outline first, before creating an opening. How are you going to write an opening for a paper that you haven't written yet? For the outline, list each of the prompts your teacher requested. Under each of them, list one example and/or fact about the prompt. Do this for each of the points your teacher requires you to discuss in the paper. For your paper, it looks like you should have twelve sections in all: one main point, supporting detail, and fact or example for each of the four prompts from your instructor.

Once you have your outline created, go back and decide what your introduction should say. An introduction is a trailer to what you will be talking about in your paper. It should have just enough information in it to get them interested, without going into so much detail that it is boring for them. You may want to start it out with an astonishing fact or an interesting story about your topic; these sometimes work well for these kinds of essays.

OK, so now you know what you want to write about. An introduction is a preview of your essay. It should have just enough information in it to get your readers interested, without going into so much detail that it is boring for them. You may want to start it out with an astonishing fact or an interesting story or amazing fact about your topic; these sometimes work well for these kinds of essays.

Yes, it's easy to find example papers online. Articles in magazines and journals make excellent examples, too. You can't get smeone to do your work for you here at EssayForum, though. You have to give it a try!

So, google this:
smoking "research study"

and also google this:
articles about smoking

When you finish reading an article, write a sentence about it. Then, give an example to explain what you mean in that sentence. Then quote the article. finally, finish the paragraph with a conclusion sentence.

Do that for every article you read, and post the paragraphs here! We'll help.
