Writing a structured essay

Writing a Structured Essay in Hindi

At B2 level, you should be able to compose well-organized essays in Hindi. Here are the key structural elements:

• प्रस्तावना (prastaavnaa) — the introduction sets up your topic and thesis
• मुख्य भाग (mukhya bhaag) — the body contains your arguments and evidence
• निष्कर्ष (nishkarsh) — the conclusion summarizes and restates your position

Connecting ideas:

• Use इसके अतिरिक्त (iske atirikt) for "in addition to this"
• Use इसलिए (isliye) for "therefore"
• Use दूसरी ओर (doosri or) for "on the other hand"
• Use संक्षेप में (sankshep mein) for "in summary"

Example: इसके अतिरिक्त, यह तर्क भी महत्वपूर्ण है।

(iske atirikt, yah tark bhi mahatvpoorn hai.)

"In addition, this argument is also important."

Formal register tips:

• Prefer अतः (atah) over इसलिए (isliye) for a more formal tone
• Use किन्तु (kintu) instead of लेकिन (lekin) for "but" in formal writing
• Employ the passive voice: यह कहा जा सकता है (yah kahaa jaa saktaa hai) — "it can be said"
