First
impressions matter, whether you are meeting someone new or opening an essay.
Your introduction must:
- · Capture your reader’s attention.
- · State your purpose for writing, that is, your focus statement.
To
capture your readers’ attention you can begin with:
- · Anecdote: anecdotes are great openings for writing biographies, informative essays, personal narratives, speeches and term papers.
- · Humour: this works best in “lighter” writings.
- · Quotations
- · Question: you can start an essay by turning your assignment into a question. For example, Students, they insist, should be able to speak, read, and write a second language. State your opinion for or against this proposal. You can begin this essay with the question, “Should students be required to learn to speak, read, and write a second language?”
- · A surprising statistic.
- · Descriptions (describe the environment, person)
