For example, you can use essay introduction phrases like:
How much space you need for background depends on your topic and the scope of your essay. In our Braille example, we take a few sentences to introduce the topic and sketch the social context that the essay will address:
Beware though, this only has to be a little bit wider, not completely universal. That is, do not start with something like "In the whole field of nursing...." or "Since man could write, he has always...". Instead, simply situate the area that you are writing about within a slightly bigger area. For example, you could start with a general statement about a topic, outlining some key issues but explain that your essay will focus on only one. Here is an example: I hope you’re having a good semester so far! I'm Drew, a professional essay writer and history graduate. Over my 6+ years writing essays, I've noticed that students often struggle with writing good introductions to their essays. And yes, it is hard – how long should an intro be? What should it say? How much description should be in it? The main thing an introduction will do is...introduce your essay! That means you need to tell the reader what your conclusion is and how you will get there. There is no need to worry about *SPOILER ALERTS* - this is not a detective novel you can give away the ending! Sorry, but building up suspense is just going to irritate the reader rather than eventually satisfy. Simply outline how your main arguments (give them in order) lead to your conclusion. In American essay guides you will see something described as the ‘thesis statement’ - although we don't use this terminology in the UK, it is still necessary to state in your introduction what the over-arching argument of your essay will be. Think of it as the mega-argument, to distinguish it from the mini-arguments you make in each paragraph. Look at the example introduction at the bottom of this page which includes both of these elements. Although for short essays the introduction is usually just one paragraph, longer argument or research papers may require a more substantial introduction. The first paragraph might consist of just the attention grabber and some narrative about the problem. Then you might have one or more paragraphs that provide background on the main topics of the paper and present the overall argument, concluding with your thesis statement. It is, however, very difficult to defend a position if you have not made it clear in the first place. This is where your introduction comes in. In stating your position, you are ultimately outlining the answer to the question. You can then make the rest of your essay about providing the evidence that supports your answer. As such, if you make your position clear, you will find all subsequent paragraphs in your essay easier to write and join together. As you have already told your reader where the essay is going, you can be explicit in how each paragraph contributes to your mega-argument.
Here’s a persuasive essay introduction example:
First one-two sentences: Context. Begin your essay simply by explaining in brief a key term or concept from the question of your essay. For instance, if I were writing an essay on the Bosnian War (1992-95), I might simply write “After the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1989, the Balkan region erupted into various conflicts. The Bosnian War was the most significant of these wars, killing approximately 200,000 people – making it the deadliest European war since World War II.” Easy. Done. I’ve given the reader some essential and interesting information. There is no need to over-complicate your introduction – remember, it is a map for the reader. The simpler the better.
Here’s an argumentative essay introduction example:
Fourth sentence: What you will be arguing. Here’s where you’ll present your argument. The best way to do this is to keep it as simple as possible – make it evidently clear to the reader that this is what your essay will be talking about. For instance, you could literally state (following the example above): “However, this essay considers the often-overlooked role of international forces in the beginning of the conflict”.

Final sentence or two: Your thesis statement. You’ve outlined the structure of your essay in clear and explicit detail. Now it’s time to hit home with your overall argument – your thesis statement. This will relate to your reader what the whole essay will work towards – the culmination of your individual points. It should be kept as simple as possible and the reader should understand this is your thesis statement. For instance: “Ultimately, it is argued that although many other forces were at play, the war would not have begun without the interference of Britain, America and other international forces. This is stark evidence of the continuing importance of globalizing factors in modern warfare.”
Essay Introduction Examples For Students
Well done – you’ve written a great introduction. That’s all there is to it. The key thing to take from this guide is that the introduction should be a clear, explicitly stated guide to your essay. It’s a sort of “meta” part of your essay – it should be about your argument itself, not the topic at hand. A good introduction allows the reader to read on with confidence and without confusion and frustration – and this will get you higher marks.
