I would like to know how to write a band 6 essay. For example, the structure etc.

Thank you!

I know this will sound like a weird way to explain, but many people who write a b6 essay don't do it off the cuff (unless they are a top 5% english student).

Most students typically start off with a b4/b5 essay and you slowly work essays up to b6 level, by consistently re-drafting and taking critiques on board from a wide variety of sources.

A good start would be to read through this http://community.boredofstudies.org/4/english/257183/advanced-english-essay-writing-guide.html. This is probably one of the sites best threads.

My introduction was short and sweet. My paragraphs didn't follow TEEL or whatever you want to call it exactly. I just put in as much evidence as I needed (using and integrating a LOT of quotes). My conclusions were laudable tbh. They hardly did anything except briefly (briefly) sum up my ideas. But I agree with LHS.

So there's this book called The 5-Minute Essay which you should totally check out...

I think you've misused laudable...but agree with the need for good amounts of evidence (as well as analysis of the evidence and why it relates back to your points.)

I think the top piece of advice I can give you is to deconstruct the specific essay question you are given and make sure that everything you select-in terms of textual evidence and coming up with relevant thesis points etc-is firmly focusing on answering the question and answering nothing but the given essay question
