What samples show

What you learn from a strong model example.

Looking at how a well-constructed piece of academic work is put together teaches you far more than reading advice about how to write. Model examples make abstract structural guidance concrete and visible.

How to open

Strong introductions with thesis, context and clear scope — not waffle or vague statements.

How to use evidence

In-text citations integrated naturally into argument, not bolted on at the end of paragraphs.

How to reference

Correct format for Harvard, APA 7 or OSCOLA reference lists and footnotes.

How to close

Conclusions that synthesise rather than repeat — and answer the question explicitly.

Paragraph structure

How PEEL paragraphs look in practice at different academic levels and word counts.

Academic tone

The difference between formal academic language and everyday writing — shown through example.
