An introduction contains the title of the essay giving a back ground information on the subject as well as why it is to be discussed. In the introduction, the writer must also include an outline of points that are to be discussed and the thesis statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before introducing an essay, the writer chooses the best topic to discuss, if it has not been provided, and collects concise information and identifies which arguments to address in order of importance. The thesis statement should be pre-determined before writing as well as what is expected after reading the essay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good introduction must grab the attention of the reader in the first sentence. Using phrases, personal example or dialogues are a good way to have the attention of the reader. Anecdotes such as fun facts or quotes also help build a proper introduction. What follows is context about the essay title. This includes back ground information that is concise and reliable. Since the introduction is a small part of the essay, the chosen information should be the most appropriate and informative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After alighting the reader, the author tells them why it is important to address the topic whether it is a review, a discussion or an analyses depending on the nature of the essay. Since the introduction is the mood setter, it must be convincing enough to the reader. The reasons for writing the essay must be supported by several arguments that will be addressed in the body paragraph. The author outlines the arguments in order of importance as they will be discussed in the main layout of the essay. It is worth noting that the arguments are stated, not discussed or summarized since this is what forms the body of the essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The writer ends the introduction with a thesis statement and it basically tells the reader what is to be achieved by the end of the essay and what should be expected. The thesis must be logic and arguable in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on <a href=\"https:\/\/essaybasics.com\/write-my-college-essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/essaybasics.com\/write-my-college-essay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The introduction is the most crucial part of any essay, it sets the tone, engages the reader, and outlines what\u2019s to come.
