Introduction
The Introduction opens the essay. It is a short paragraph - usually
about THREE sentences.
In an argument essay, it usually describes or summarizes both sides of the
present situation and says what you are going to do in your essay. Read

Body
The Body is the main part of the essay. In an argument essay, it is divided
into two or three paragraphs, giving your opinion and reasons.
Each paragraph in the body is between FIVE and SEVEN sentences long. Read
more about the Body of the essay here.
Conclusion
The Conclusion is the end of the essay. It is a short paragraph - about
THREE sentences. It often has the same idea as the Introduction, only in
different words.
Some people think of the essay as a sandwich. The Introduction and Conclusion
are the bread, and the Body is the filling in the center. Read
