theme, come up
with 3 words that
are associated E.g.

commitment
Your ideas should
be framed by an
introduction and
conclusion.
It looks like this :
I + 3 ideas + C

Use TEE to organise your

essay. Construct topic
sentences first in a running
way to see if it makes sense.
Marriage is made up of many
parts, namely a wedding, the
rings and commitment.(1)
The wedding is the
beginning of a lifelong
journey together, and the
ceremony reflect this. (2) The
rings symbolise the unity
between two people for life,
even when the going gets
tough. (3) Commitment is the
final ingredient to make a
marriage beautiful.(4) In
conclusion, marriage is a
wonderful thing if the
wedding, the rings and the
commitment work hand in
hand.(5)
Use the Topic sentences as
the beginning of every

main points of the topic
sentences. Give examples to
make your points clear.
