Help With Writing
I need to write a rough draft about a biographical sketch about my partner. We asked 13 questions about them and now we need to write the biographical sketch. I'm really bad at writing papers, mainly just the introduction and the conclusion. I usually put things like "and this is the reason why ____ . , This concludes my paper about ____" < bad conclusions . I need a lot of help with my introduction and conclusion / ending paragraph to sum up my paper. All help is appreciated, thanks !

[quote=Dalsia]Try to make your introductions as short as possible, and 99% of the time you want your thesis (the point you're trying to make in the paper, in this case it could be something about how diverse of a person your partner is) as the last sentence of your introduction. In general introductions should be 3-4 sentences (preferably 3) in short essays that are no longer than 4 pages.
You should almost never make direct statements like "and this is the reason why" in conclusions. Your conclusion should also be short, and I usually make the first sentence a personal thought or a good point about your essay. In this paper you might say "Trying to find a perfect person as a partner is an impossible task, but my partner is perfect for me." That's just an example - I have no idea what your essay will look like. Then you would conclude with a sentence summarizing who your partner is (only the most important and memorable things from the essay).
Just so you know, I've taken AP English III and IV in high school, scored 95 or higher in both of these classes, got 4s and 5s on both of these exams, and have gotten now lower than an A- on any university paper I've written. I even had a teacher recommend that I publish a law paper I wrote. I'm not trying to gloat, but I hope my information is substantive and is coming from a reliable source.[/quote]
What would the thesis statement of my biographical sketch of the person i'm writing about be? and how would I put it? Like directly state it in my intro or . . . ?

lol, no thank you .
@Dalsia: I guess it IS easier to get high marks in the US.
@alex3650:
Oh okay. I didn't understand that part. I hope you still understand the general idea of my post. Also, if you want to impress your teacher you'll write 7-8 sentences per paragraph. It's not that bad once you get into it.
@UglierBetty I need some things such as what things should I include in a intro / conclusion paragraph.
@Omegathorion Sounds like a good idea, thanks.
@Dalsia Thanks for all of the information. I'm currently in Honors English, a freshmen gonna get into AP in 10th or pre-ap forgot. All of my paragraphs need to be 3 or more sentences. And not as partner/love, partner as in the person that your teacher pairs you up with so you can work on the assignment.

If it's a biographical sketch, why not use your conclusion to talk about that person's future?
Oh God I remember doing this project in early High School English.
9:28 BT: EDIT: Yes your conclusion is terrible, but we need something of the paper for us to help you. Sure, you can treat essays in a formulaic way, but I'd rather not just give you an fill-in-the-blank conclusion.
Give more information and we can help you.
