Question

how can i start an introduction for an essay?

Answer 1

Start with a hook, something that relates to your essay topic but also grabs the audiences' attention. Then give a little bit of background information while starting to introduce your topic, and just briefly tell your audience what you're going to tell them in the following body paragraphs.

Answer 2

If you are writing a paper that is at least 3 paragraphs, you might want to start with a starting paragraph that includes a thesis and end the whole paper with the thesis

Answer 3

Introduction: Start with a good hook. Give some general information about your topic that will form your thesis statement, then slowly add specific information that will give some hints on what your thesis is. You want to make your reader curious. And as always, for readers to easily locate your thesis, it is always the last sentence of your first paragraph. Thesis example: Dogs are better than cats.

Now for the core paragraphs: Always follow the "PIE" format, it will never fail you. The "P," first sentence of a core paragraph will always state what the paragraph will be amount (usually 1-2 sentences). "E," give some information about your point, if your point is about why "dogs are obedient than cats." They listen to owner's commands more efficiently than cats etc. "I," give some examples on why "dogs are obedient." I give me dog a big nice juicy bone, and he will listen to anything, examples that are more personal are always great (it will show your readers you're knowledgeable on the subject).

Then, for the next core paragraph, state another "P," like "dogs understand their owners well." "I," dogs react more emotionally etc. "E," I came home one day tearing, my dog sensed it and came to cheer me up by wagging his tail etc.

For your core body paragraphs, you always want a good balance between your "I" and "E." An example of a good balance would be: P (1-2 sentences), I (4-5 sentences), and E (4-5 sentences). Doesn't have to be like that, but if its close, then it is good.

For your conclusion, restate your thesis statement in different wording. Summarize each core body paragraph in one sentence. After that, follow it up with your stance on that sentence. Repeat that for the remaining body core paragraphs. Then, there are themes that must be used for your conclusion, the easiest one is "call to action." Which is, you tell your readers to take "action" or urge them to like "Since, you now know dogs are the best, go down to your local pet store and buy a dog." You can "bull pellet" your "call of action," but make it sound legit in a way.

Congrats! This is a basic college format that I used to write all my college essays and passed with flying "A's." I am done with college level English for life, even though my grammar my still suck.
