A) Introduction 

B) Body 

C) Conclusion 

a) Introduction

b) Body 

Each paragraph in the body of the essay typically treats one major stage of the procedure. Each stage may group several steps, depending on the nature and complexity of the process. These steps are presented in chronological order. Every steps must be included and must appear in its proper  place. Throughout the body of a process essay, transitional words and phrases ensure that each step,  each stage, and paragraph leads logically to the next.

c) Conclusion 

A short process essay may not need a formal conclusion. If an essay doesnot have a conclusion, however, it will often briefly review the procedure's major stages. Such an ending is especially useful if the paper  has outlined a very long or particularly technical procedure that may seem complicated to general readers. The conclusion may also reinforce the thesis by summarizing the results of the process or explaining its significance.
