Most students often enjoy essay writing tasks, even with pay for paper on Writepaper.com, but especially in case of dealing with a professional thesis writing service because of the research involved in them and they also find it exciting as it prevents an opportunity to express yourself or write about what you are familiar with. On the contrary essay writing is even more flexible than before when there was no paper writing service available online. Now students can easily buy research papers online and have a well written essay.

Students who have the skills to craft out a well written essay, sometimes usually fail to understand the question in particular and which type of essay is required from them, so they often turn to essay helper from EssayHub. This article will help you to effectively differentiate and know how to write the different types of essay which is crucial to your academic success. Essay types are categorized into five.

Descriptive essay (painting a picture): A descriptive essay is a bit similar to a narrative essay. In a descriptive essay the writer paints a picture in written words. He/she might describe a person, place, object or a significant memory. In a descriptive essay the writer should be able to show with the use of words all details about a particular thing or event. It needs to be visualized in such a way that when the reader reads the content, imaginative questions are answered. The aim and objective of descriptive essays is to ensure that the readers feel well informed about what is being described.

Narrative essays: Narrative essays are written most times in the form of storytelling. It could be a story about a real life experience. Narrative essay is one that challenges students to think and write about themselves. The writer must make sure that the readers are involved by trying to make the story as vivid as possible. Narrative essays are usually written in first person to help engage the reader.

Persuasive/Argumentative essay: Persuasive essays are also known as argumentative essays. The goal of such essays is to convince the readers to accept the writer’s point of view or recommendation. The writer should also be able to present all sides of the argument and present and communicate clearly stating why a certain position is correct. This is done by building his/her case with facts, examples, expert opinion and sound reasoning.

Other types of essays include:
