What kind of structure are you talking about? Essay structure or sentence structure or what? I might be able to help you if it's not to late.

Are you talking about an entrance exam or the SAT? If you're living in the states anyways.

True, i'm talking about entrance exam..
They said there will be a part when i have to make an essay, or article or short stories ..
Most possible is essay to express opinion..
They said there must be opening and everything..

Ok, so an opinion essay format is something like this:

1. you'll need an opening, that is true. You should always open the essay with a short introduction that covers some basic information as well as your thesis statement, or opinion.

Ex. If you were to write an opinion essay on Anime you could write this as your introduction:

Anime is a animated television show that most likely originated in Japan. However it can be viewed in America after it has been translated and subtitled or dubbed with English voice actors. I believe that Anime is really interesting because it has great plots, characters I can relate to, and each one has a different style.

The yellow sentence is your thesis statement.

2. The next thing you will need is a body. Continuing with my example the body is where you get the chance to expand on the ideas you mentioned in the thesis statement. So in this case you might write three different paragraphs. One talking about what makes Anime plots so interesting. One that talks about the characters and how you can relate to them, and on about the styles of the anime and how they are all different.

3. Finally you will need a conclusion. You should state your thesis statement once again and summarize everything you said in your body and introduction.


I hope thats what you're looking for. I think thats what you meant by needing to know about an opening and everything. If that wasn't helpful just say the word and I'll try my best to see what else I can tell you.
