  2. A good essay or article expresses the main ideas in a captivating way. To produce an interesting piece of writing, the writer ought to remember that s/he is writing for people, not machines. One major misconception about essay writing is that it should only follow the formal constricts of academic writing. A writer who holds such a mentality forgets that laying down hard facts and dry ideas is a sure way of making the reader bored and uninterested in reading the essay to the end however credible the facts might be. On the other hand, explaining facts and ideas with relevant illustrations and examples helps to keep the reader absorbed in the text.

  3. 4. Use linking words and phrases – Enhance cohesion Linking words and phrases guide the reader through the writing. They consist of forwards and backwards, and their use enhances the flow of content from one part to the other. A piece of writing without joining words reads like a collection of disjoined statements. It also features many short sentences that are often difficult to follow. Linking words and phrases are used to add a point, contrast ideas, illustrate, move the reader to the next point, list ideas and conclude. 5. Write a good conclusion The writing process is not complete or successful without a good ending. A good conclusion conveys a sense of completeness. It is unfortunate that many writers feel tired while tackling this section and thus fail to articulate it the best way. One thing to remember is that the conclusion is what the reader anticipates as s/he reads through the essay/article.

  4. Below are 5 ways to make your article/essay interesting: 1.Use a creatively-designed structure No one wants to read an article that’s nothing more than an unarranged block of words. Before you start writing, take time to come up with a good structure that will enable you to organize your ideas logically and cohesively. Whenever possible, the essay form should consist of descriptive headers, short sentences, and short paragraphs. Each part of the content builds upon, or is at least related to the previous part. The content should progress the reader inevitably towards the conclusion. 2. An attention-grabbing introduction If you introduce the reader to your essay using ways that are too predictable to make the reader curious, then you risk losing him immediately. Instead of starting with a definition and a slow development into the body of the content, take the reader to the midst of the theme so that the essay starts with maximum excitement. For example, you can cite some statistics and then introduce the purpose of the article/essay using a rhetorical question or a phrase. Even though this is not the standard way of writing introductions, you’ll earn some points for originality and spark the interest of the reader. 3. Soften ‘dry’ ideas Some topic areas or essay ideas are naturally dry but there are ways to make the writing more interesting. Even articles become quite dry when they focus majorly on factual content. One essay style that livens up a dry idea is making it appear relevant to the real world. This way, the reader finds it easier to relate to the idea. Fascinating pieces of information such as humorous comments and examples, for instance, not only make the text exciting but also easier to understand and remember. Though such essay hacks may not always work especially for scientific essays, it’s certainly applicable to humanities subjects. 

  5. Therefore, there’s still so much at stake in the conclusion. The best essay conclusions shape an impression that hangs on with readers even after finishing the reading. When writing articles it’s better to finish by linking back to the introduction or giving the reader a call to action. http://edusson.com/blog/the-five-major-rules-of-journalistic-writing
