Who knows the best ChatGPT prompts for writing essays?

I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT to help me brainstorm ideas for essays, but I feel like I’m not getting the best out of it. Does anyone have any cool prompts or tips for using it to write essays? Let me know! Would love to hear how you use it.

If you're stuck on introductions, use: Write three different engaging hooks for an essay on (your topic or thesis). It will give you different options, like a question, a surprising fact, or a short anecdote

I like asking: "Explain THIS TOPIC in a way a 10-year-old would understand." It forces ChatGPT to break things down simply, which is great for understanding tough concepts before writing about them.

If you need help improving your writing, try:

"Rewrite this paragraph to make it clearer and more concise without losing meaning: [paste paragraph]." ChatGPT will cut fluff and make your writing sharper.

One of my favorite prompts is: "Act as a university professor grading an essay. Provide detailed feedback on how I can improve this thesis statement: [your thesis here]." It make your essay more solid.

I use it for brainstorming! My best prompt is:
"List 10 unique and thought-provoking angles for an essay about..."
It helps me avoid the same old arguments everyone else is writing about.
