You need to write an essay for class, but don’t have the time to put in the full effort doing research? Plagiarizing others’ work is not an option, of course, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative and build an original piece based on other people’s material.
If you find a well researched, craftily written essay that fits well into the subject you need to write about, you can use it as a starting point for your own work. It’s perfectly legal to use the facts that are already there, while supplementing it with your own ideas.

I am not saying that it is better to copy someone’s work. What you really need to do is to write a creative work out of that someone’s writing that you had searched on from the internet. You need to have a unique masterpiece out of the concept you had just read. Yes, the key to your problem is to read and understand what you have to write. Reading can give you a fresher and newer perspective from the original concept of the writer’s work you have found.
To make it more unique, you can rewrite it and give a different concept. It should sound differently from the original one. You got that? Now, how are you going to make it without spending a lot of time through researching? Here’s what you need to do:
Rewriting It. If you are really lazy, you can just rewrite the exact same piece, refusing to add any original opinion into it. It’s not exactly the most ideal thing in the world (you’re basically stealing the original writer’s thought process), but it’s a perfectly valid way of creating a non plagiarized essay. Hell, you might even get good marks for it if you do it with a decent writing software.
It’s better to use your own words and ideas about the original piece of work. To make it much easier in your part, you can rewrite it per word, per sentence and then per paragraph. If you wish to add or omit some words or ideas, then it’s up to you. But if you’ll do it, I’m sure you can write a more unique piece that is different from the essay you had researched.
Changing The Focus. One way to add your own pound of work into it is to change the focus a little bit. For instance, instead of discussing a national issue with particular attention on economics, you can spin it by putting the spotlight on its effect on citizens. They’ll likely refer to much of the same research data, with you supplying the necessary work for any missing pieces.
Add A New Angle. You know how an entire math equation can change if you add a single variable to the mix? It’s the same way with essays. Introduce a new angle into the material and you’ll discover an entirely new way to discuss it, all while being able to use previous work that was done fully.
