It is interesting to note that, many times, the theme of writing was present in the objective questions of the Exam, which may provide subsidies for your text.
→ Never overlook the collection of texts: it should be used to the full, especially if you do not master the required topic. When reading the collection, make observations about the proper way to use the texts, as they must be a source of information and must never be copied or paraphrased. The candidate must interpret these texts and use the information contained in them to create their argument.

Develop your arguments and focus on presenting a good intervention proposal for the problem presented, this is an essential element in the writing of Enem.

The proposal it must be well detailed and present a connection with the arguments developed throughout the essay.
→ Respect the limit of lines, remember that the parts of the text must be proportional, which means you should not make, for example, an introduction or conclusion that is too long. To avoid this type of error, it is important that you plan how many lines each paragraph should have. Ideally, you should spare one paragraph for the introduction (theme presentation), two or three for the development (argumentation) and one for the conclusion (intervention proposal). Review your text and be aware of coherence, cohesion, redundancy and grammatical errors. Also, if possible, write your text clean, fine print and good luck!
