Any help with phrases for writing essays?

大家好！

I've been studying Chinese for several years now at college, but find it nearly impossible to locate any resources for writing essays. I asked my tutor, but he did not provide much help.

I'm looking for phrases that Chinese people would use in their essay writing, examples are:

• 'This essay is about the topic of...'
• 'In this essay, I will discuss...'
• To conclude...'
• 'Overall...'
• 'As well as X... I'd also like to consider Y'
• 'I will argue that...'

These are just examples, as I'm not looking for direct translations, any other phrases/expressions that could be used in essays would equally be appreciated!

I have tried to look them up in a dictionary myself, but tend to get conflicting phrases, I'd appreciate if I got a bit of help from reddit to point me in the right direction.

谢谢你们！
