    The best way to start such an essay is as follows –

    1. Write the name of the essay – “What causes stress and how to cope with stress”
    2. Write an outline – list the main points that you will write about

    What causes stress and how to cope with stress

    1. What stress is
    a. Define mental stress
    b. Define a stressor
    (i) What may stress some people may not stress other people
    2. What causes stress in different people
    a. Lack of money
    b. Lack of friends
    c. Lack of a job
    d. Lack of a good education
    e. Not knowing how to make friends
    3. Coping with stressors
    a. Learn how to overcome the items noted in #2 above
    b. Learn how to react to stressful situations
    (i) Don’t panic – think
    c. Exercise will reduce stress
    4. Write a conclusion
    a. Restate the problem
    b. Write that by following the ideas listed above, one can overcome stress

    Following the outline that you have written – write at least two sentences for each item in the list. Next, merge the things that you have written. Bring these ideas together – Example, “While snakes may prove stressful to some people, the lack of a job make be a stressor for other people.

    When you are done writing the essay, post it here so we can read and comment on it.
