Объяснение
So that the essay comes out orderly, a plan is made in advance. Every essay plan has three parts: introduction, main part and conclusion. The introduction leads the reader into the topic; the main part opens up the essence of the topic and is usually divided into two or more items; the conclusion briefly sums up the idea that follows from the main part. The essay plan (the content structure of the text) must not be confused with the plan for writing the essay (the work stages: choosing a topic, gathering material, plan, draft, checking). Plan items should be short, on topic and in logical sequence.
