Introductions are important because they give the reader the first impressions of your essay. In any case, they should be carefully written and considered, because they have a great impact on the further course and effect of your essay.
There are a few things to keep in mind when writing an introduction. First of all, it is important that the introduction is short and concise. It should not contain too much information or overwhelm the reader with too much detail. It should also clearly highlight the main point of the essay. Furthermore, it is important that the introduction is interesting and makes the reader curious about the further course of the essay.
Most introductions are composed of three parts: the main body, the secondary body and the conclusion. In the main part, the core of the essay is presented and the reader is informed about the topic. The minor section then elaborates on the various aspects of the topic and addresses any controversies or problems. The conclusion then concludes the introduction and summarizes the most important points once again.
A good introduction should include the following:
-A clear statement of the topic of the essay
-A brief summary of the arguments that will be presented in the essay
-A clear thesis that the essay will target
-A rationale for the choice of topic
-A brief explanation of the structure of the essay
Here are some examples of good introductions:
"This essay argues that... "
"This essay examines the question of... "
"The following is an analysis of... "
"The following sections deal with... "
"This paper addresses the issue of... "
A good introduction is short, concise and informational. It should arouse the reader's curiosity and inform him or her about the rest of the essay.
