How exactly should an essay be written... I know the way to write one , if that makes sense but I am having trouble explaining to DH how to do it himself, without me helping to word things for him.

DH has recently started a tafe course and his first assessment is an essay... The questions are pretty easy for him but he doesnt know how to structure the actual answer.....

I should know,

was a journalist but my brain is seriously not working... and I havent written anything for a long time
