Takeaways

• 😀 Always include a title in your essay only when explicitly requested by the exam or when instructed through the test's guidelines.
• 😀 The essay's title should relate to the final phrase or idea in the conclusion, allowing for 'double validation' when the examiner reviews the text.
• 😀 Start your introduction by referencing a strong legal or historical document (e.g., the Brazilian Constitution) to show credibility and knowledge.
• 😀 Use a contrast in the introduction (e.g., theory vs. practice) to introduce the issue and engage the reader.
• 😀 In the introduction, clearly present the two main arguments that will be explored in the body paragraphs.
• 😀 When writing body paragraphs, each should focus on one of the arguments, starting with a clear statement, followed by evidence and examples.
• 😀 Always provide relevant examples and references to back up your arguments. Citing recognized sociologists or experts can strengthen your points.
• 😀 Use clear, logical progression in your body paragraphs, ensuring each section adds value to the overall argument and supports the thesis.
• 😀 In the conclusion, revisit the two main arguments, and propose solutions or interventions that address the issues discussed.
• 😀 Ensure your conclusion ties back to the introduction, reinforcing the central idea while offering a resolution or insight into the topic.
• 😀 Structuring your essay with a clear beginning (introduction), middle (body paragraphs), and end (conclusion) is crucial for maintaining coherence and flow.

Q & A

When should a title be included in an essay for a public service exam?

A title should only be included when explicitly requested by the exam guidelines, either in the official exam document or packet.

What is the 'double validation' technique in essay writing?

The 'double validation' technique refers to using the same phrase from the conclusion as the title, allowing the essay grader to validate the title twice—once when they see it and again when it appears in the conclusion.

How should an introduction in a public service exam essay be structured?

The introduction should begin with a strong, authoritative statement, such as referencing the law (e.g., the Brazilian Constitution), followed by a contrast between ideal and real-world situations. Finally, introduce the two main arguments to be expanded upon in the development paragraphs.

What is the main purpose of the first paragraph in the development section of the essay?

The first development paragraph should focus on the argument that addresses society's role in the issue. This includes discussing societal behavior, like dangerous driving, and using sociological references to explain how these behaviors become normalized over time.

What does the second development paragraph focus on?

The second development paragraph should discuss the state's responsibility in addressing the issue, such as the insufficiency of traffic law enforcement and the lack of investment or resources to address the problem effectively.

Why is it important to provide examples in the development paragraphs?

Examples are crucial in the development paragraphs to illustrate the points made, demonstrate the real-world implications of the arguments, and reinforce the validity of the claims with concrete, relatable situations.

What is the importance of the conclusion in an essay for a public service exam?

The conclusion is the last opportunity for the writer to leave an impression on the examiner. It should summarize the key points, restate the core arguments, and offer solutions or recommendations related to the topic of the essay.

How can the conclusion integrate both arguments from the development paragraphs?

The conclusion should revisit both the societal and state-related issues discussed in the development paragraphs and suggest solutions, such as public awareness campaigns and increased government action, to address these challenges.

What role does sociological theory play in supporting arguments in the essay?

Sociological theory, like Pierre Bourdieu's theory, is used to explain the underlying societal dynamics that contribute to the problem being discussed. It helps strengthen the argument by providing an academic or theoretical framework that adds credibility to the claims made.

What kind of solutions should be proposed in the conclusion of an essay on traffic safety?

In the conclusion, solutions should focus on both societal and state actions. This might include public education campaigns to raise awareness and legal reforms to improve enforcement, as well as increasing police presence and training to ensure better implementation of traffic laws.
