Introductions to a paragraph or eassy

 

                    A good introduction to an essay performs several jobs. The most obvious is to introduce the subject that you will develop and to pave the way for the thesis statement or controlling idea of the essay.

                  The introduction should also catch the readers’ interest, making them want to read on.

                  A good introduction informs readers of the writer’s intention and suggests the tone of the essay, indicating whether it will be humorous, angry, or serious.

               Here are some suggestions for writing introductions. Paragraphs that follow are studentexamples.

1) Begin with a Direct Statement of Your Topic■

Every fourth year, millions of Indian men and women huddle around their televisionsets to watch Cricket World Cup. Although typical viewers would probably tell you they’re watching the game because they admire the players’ abilities or a certain team, they are actually watching the game because it fulfills several of their unconscious needs and desires.

2) Begin with a Personal Anecdote■

I was fifteen when my father was transferred to a small village in Karnataka and our entire family was moved from our home in Kolkata. Because my parents did not want me to lose any school time, I was enrolled in the nearby Telugu school. Fromthat experience I learned the importance of tolerance and understanding of others whose religion, culture, or language might be different. I also learned what it means to be a member of a minority.

3) Begin with a Question■

Why are more and more people falling sick these days? What forces people to endure unhealthy air and water? Well, the answer is pollution.

 

4) Begin with a Quotation■

“To be or not to be; that is the question.” Every year an increasing number of peopleare answering those words of Hamlet’s by taking their own lives. Suicide is a majorcause of death among Americans under the age of twenty-five.

 

 

 

5) Begin with an Imaginary Scene or a “What If?” Situation■ Can you imagine living your life without being able to see or hear anyone or anything?As if that were not bad enough, imagine not being able to speak. You wouldfeel totally isolated and cut off from the world. That is how Helen Keller felt, beforeshe met her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan.

 

6)  Begin with a Surprising Statement■ Staying up all night to study before a final exam is one of the most harmful and leastproductive ways to prepare for a test. Although hundreds of thousands of collegestudents might believe otherwise, psychologists and college counselors say that agood night’s rest is actually more helpful than spending the time cramming.
