Vou SALVAR sua REDAÇÃO do ENEM 2026 🙏

Main Ideas

The presenter offers a reusable ENEM essay structure, using a high-scoring essay about aging in Brazil as a model. Her central advice is to prioritize a clear argument and strong connections between ideas over complicated vocabulary.

Suggested Writing Process and Structure

• Draft the two argument paragraphs first. Once the arguments are clear, write the introduction to preview them.

• Introduction — three parts:

  1. Reference: Begin with a relevant book, film, series, song, historical event, or other cultural reference.
  2. Connection to the theme: Explain how the reference relates to the prompt, preferably using the prompt’s key terms. Avoid vague phrases such as “this problem” unless the meaning is clear.
  3. Thesis: State the two points the essay will develop.

• Each argument paragraph — four parts:

  1. Topic sentence: Present the argument or point of view indirectly. “I think” can help plan the sentence, but the presenter advises against writing those words in the essay.
  2. Relevant reference: Use evidence that genuinely relates to the point. Connect it to the surrounding ideas rather than dropping in a name or quotation without explanation.
  3. Reasoning and development: Show a step-by-step chain of causes and consequences. Explain how one condition leads to another, without leaving logical gaps. The chain may contain roughly three to five stages.
  4. Optional evaluative closing: A short judgment—such as calling a situation serious, harmful, or unacceptable—can make the writer’s position clearer. This is useful but not essential.

• Make broad claims specific. If using terms such as “precarious well-being,” “serious consequences,” or “important spaces,” explain what they mean. Examples can clarify the claim, such as identifying particular illnesses, institutions, or public roles.

• Conclusion — intervention proposal:

  • Include an agent responsible for the response.
  • State the action to be taken.
  • Explain the means or method of carrying it out.
  • Give purposes that address the essay’s arguments.
  • Add specific details, such as where a project would operate or which platforms a public consultation would use. The presenter recommends including more than one detail when possible.
  • Aim for one well-developed proposal that responds to both arguments rather than two underdeveloped proposals.
  • End with a positive perspective on what could change if the proposal succeeds, ideally reconnecting to the reference used in the introduction.

Repertoire and Style

• Students may use familiar cultural works—including cartoons—as references, provided they explain the connection to the topic.
• The presenter cautions against relying on memorized “pocket references” that are inserted into any essay without a meaningful link. A reference should support the argument, not merely display knowledge.
• The essay should defend a point of view. The presenter rejects the idea that writers must avoid opinion and notes that evaluative wording can communicate a stance.
• She recommends using a small set of useful paragraph connectors, while emphasizing that connectors cannot replace clear reasoning.
