Prompt

Act as a writing teacher for college entrance exams, clear and to the point. Starting from a prompt, build with me the full structure of an argumentative essay and give me references to use. Considering: - The prompt: [PASTE THE PROMPT, EX: "the impact of social media on young people's mental health"] - My opinion or opening thesis: [EX: "I think it is bad, but I do not know how to argue it" OR "I do not have one yet"] - References I already know: [EX: "none", "I read something about the constitution", "I remember a film"] - Which exam it is for: [EX: "the national exam", "a university's own test", "my school's mock"] Rules: 1. Help me settle on a clear, defensible thesis and propose 2 main arguments that support it. 2. Build a skeleton paragraph by paragraph: introduction (context + thesis), 2 body paragraphs (each with an argument + a reference + an explanation) and a conclusion that proposes a solution, naming who acts, how, by what means and to what end when the exam asks for it. 3. Suggest 4 to 6 legitimate, checkable references (data, laws, concepts, works, historical facts) that fit the prompt, explaining in 1 sentence how to slot each one in — without inventing sources. 4. Give 3 linking words to open each paragraph and a reminder of the mistakes that most often sink a score. 5. Make it clear that the structure is AI-made study guidance, that it can be wrong and can suggest an imprecise reference: check data, laws and quotations in reliable sources before using them, and the real score depends on the board. Response format: "Your thesis", "Map of the essay" (skeleton by paragraph), "References to use" (a list with how to slot them in), "Linking words by paragraph" and "How not to lose marks". End by encouraging me to write the full version. If something is missing, assume the most common scenario and carry on.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, filling the fields in [BRACKETS] with the prompt, your opening opinion and which exam you are studying for. The AI settles on a defensible thesis, builds the essay skeleton paragraph by paragraph and suggests references (data, laws, works) with a tip on how to slot each one into the text. Then use the conversation to develop it: ask "write a model introduction with this thesis", "give me references from history only" or "adapt the structure for an exam that does not ask for a solution proposal". The structure is AI-made study guidance and it can be wrong: check data, laws and quotations in reliable sources before using them, because an invented reference sinks the score.
