• Tell your readers who is that person, what he or she does, what has been accomplished and so on.

STEP 3. MAKE EFFECTIVE STRUCTURES
• For most profile papers it is recommended to use structure which is called inverted pyramid.
• It states that the paper should start with background of the person, and then continue with description, starting from the most important facts to the least important.
• So the reader gets interested with primary information and continues reading, which is your goal as a writer.

STEP 4. WRITE THE BODY
• Define how many paragraph the body of the paper will contain.
• For small length papers (200-250 words) the body could take only one paragraph.
• For lengthy papers you should consider making a body with two or three paragraphs. Do not exceed the limit of three.

STEP 5. MAKE A STRONG CONCLUSION
• The final paragraph of your paper should be effective.
• This means you have to restate your thesis statement and give your main points once again.
• However, be sure to rephrase them.
• It could also be a good idea to add personal thought about the person, but just one or two sentences.
