Essay writing is a creative task. There are many types of essay like narrative essay, informative essay, persuasive essay, contrast essay etc. It is very important for writer to decide what the writer wants to write. If the writer wants to convey his ideas, opinion or suggestion, the writer should write a persuasive essay, if writer wants to narrate a story or experience, writer can use narrative and if writer wants to provide knowledge or information, then writer should write an informative essay.
As the name suggests, information essay is written by writer to provide information to audience about topic. While writer, writing an essay, he assumes that the audience is unaware of the topic and writer brings all possible aspects while writing an essay. While writing an informative essay, the writer need not give his opinion or suggestion about the topic.
While writing or revising an informative essay it is very important to consider the following:
1. While writing an informative essay, the writer should never use pronouns. The use of I, he, she, you etc. should be restricted while writing an informative essay. Such essay is written to make reader gain knowledge or bring awareness about the concept. The use of pronoun makes it a narrative style of essay. The informative essay should not express the writer’s personal attitude or opinion. The informative essay is an essay where the writer writes about facts and not opinion or thoughts.
2. It is very important for writer to never do any analyze while writing an informative essay. Giving own analyze will make an article biased and often confusing and misleading.
3. A good informative essay is an essay where the writer tries to bring all possible facts while doing extensive research. The writer should never hide or skip the important aspects or any negative sides of topic while writing. The writer should be genuine honest and try to bring real and all possible facts about topic. Such essay guides and bring awareness in readers.
4. The informative essay should be logical and chronologically written. The writer should not just write all facts without having a logic explanation. The writer should create an outline, structure and write an essay in sequence way.
5. An essay whether informative or narrative, becomes monotonous and boring when writer writes same facts more than once. The writer should never repeat same facts more than once.
6. Figures play a very important role in an essay. The writer should always state the figure correctly. The writer should never state figure in approx. or ideal figure. Such essay should be written with carefully while stating figure. while writing an essay about poverty in India, the writer writes wrong about the figure of poverty line, it will misguide the audience. For example: the actual fact is: In 2021, a person who is spending Rs.33 a day in urban area is under or below the poverty line. But the writer mistakenly writes Rs.250, in this case the entire article becomes irrelevant and misinforms the readers.
7. Plagiarism should always be checked while writing an essay. While writing, informative essay, the writer makes biggest mistake of copying and pasting facts and paragraphs. Such mistake should be never made. The writer should make research and should write paragraph on own words.
8. The writer should check the spellings mistakes while writing an essay. There are many words with only one letter difference but can change the meaning fully. For example: BED and BAD, CHEQUE and check etc. the writer should read carefully before submitting an essay.
9. While revising the essay, make sure the essay written is in same font, and punctuation has been used properly.
10. Lastly it is very important for writer to make sure, there is no suggestion on the topic. For example, the writer writes an article about PDS, he can write about definition, advantages, disadvantages etc. but the writer should never write suggestion like what more items should be included in PDS etc. the entire essay should be suggestion free essay.
Conclusion

The writer should refrain from narrating an experience while writing such piece of information. Not doing so, it misguides and misinforms the audience. Informative essay should be biased free.
