Although what Denver says is right...
but I'd like to add something else.
While looking for dictionary for additional words is an interesting idea, make sure you know how to use that word in a statement, which I think is a more important skill.

Organize your thoughts, find your good mood and peaceful venue to write.
Introduction, Body (Supporting paragraph, arguments) and Conclusion are the three most important parts.
Remember, select every word use wisely and usefully.
Make all statement simple and concise.
Other tips below;1.
For the introduction, write the thesis statement and give some background information.2.
Develop each supporting paragraph and make sure to follow the correct paragraph format.3.
Write clear and simple sentences to express your meaning.4.
Focus on the main idea of your essay.5.
Use a dictionary to help you find additional words to express your meaning.
