Ideas and hints on writing essay introduction part

The best way to start an essay is to follow three simple rules:

1. The first and most important rule is that the introduction must be written exactly for that particular topic and exactly as formulated in the way in which it is presented in the assignment.
2. Second rule: The introduction should show your knowledge of the topic and show (outline) the ways you to explore it.
3. The third rule: the introduction should be “centered” in relation to those supporting, key words that constitute the semantic core in the topic statement.

The introduction gives the reader the first opinion of the text. It can either interest or repel, so experimenting with introductions is not recommended. In the introduction, specify the wording of the question, its importance and relevance. You can ask a rhetorical question in the form of an argument or provide a quotation, preferably citing the author. Convince the reader of the relevance of the question and get him interested. What goes in an essay introduction? First, formulate the main point. This is just one sentence, succinctly and concisely describing the main message. Now tell what the essay is about. The 2nd and 3rd sentences should serve as a link between the 1st, the main, and the rest of the section. They should develop the thought from the first sentence, expanding the context. Create a smooth transition, not a springboard transition. What is a hook? A sentence that can arouse the reader’s interest and is directly related to the main topic. Be original, but don’t overdo it. Find something that characterizes your thesis or problem most accurately, such as the opinion of a well-known expert in the field or a seemingly unremarkable fact that fits your thesis perfectly. You don’t have to start with it, you can find your hook during the writing of the main part, but in the final version of the text its use in the introduction is highly desirable. What is a thesis statement? Thesis is an argument which you are going to prove in your assay, it is a core of it, a main idea. In the narrow sense, it is an abbreviated version of your essay, which conveys the essence of a more voluminous work in a concise form. Why do I need a thesis statement? A thesis statement is the most significant point of your writing and is also referred to as a guiding principle. Whatever else you write in your paper/essay must relate to this core idea, which develops throughout the text. What is the structure of an essay? A typical outline of an essay:

• introduction;
• theses and arguments;
• conclusion.

Also, note that both the introduction and conclusion should clearly focus on the main thesis. The introduction should describe the problem and the conclusion should summarize the solution or the author’s opinion.
