Miss Zu today teach us on how to do the introductory paragraph. The introductory paragraph is the most important paragraph in essay. If we have a great introductory paragraph, you will attract the readers to read further your essay. For me, introductory paragraph is the most important thing in my essay in order to attract Miss Zu to read more and make her feel excited to read our essay.
The purpose of the introductory paragraph is like what I have said just know is to get reader's attention. For sure, every writer wanted their essay to read. Thus to make the essay interesting, it must start from the beginning og the essay. Next, the purpose of introductory paragraph is to set tone for the rest of the essay. Whether we want the essay to be a sad-type of essay or happy-type essay.
Some parts of the introductory paragraphs are :
- The hook- designed to grab attention immediately and give some topic indication about the essay's topic.
- The transition- moves the reader from the hook to the driving force of the essay.
- The thesis statement- makes the contract with the reader about what will discussed without a transparent announcement.
- Personal example. For example personal observations form someone.
- Quotations. Must be relevant to content of quote.
- Facts or statistic. Must be unusual. Must also be from a credible source.
- Rhetorical question. Question that need to be thought.
- Current event. Must be the recent one
- Contrast to the thesis statement/ turnabout.
- Definition. Write something from general to specific.
- Funnel.
For our term paper, we need to have three hook in the introductory part. Me and Farzana choose to have personal example, rhetorical question and definition as our hook for our essay.

The last class of the week, we learnt about the function and the techniques to write the conclusion. Conclusion is the last part of the essay where we conclude what has been written for pages in a paragraph. It's not easy to conclude everything that we have wrote for pages in a paragraph. Thus, that's why we need to know the techniques as well as the function of the conclusion paragraph.
Below, are some questions that might help you to make the conclusion of the essay :
- what is the significance of your findings?
- What are the implications of your conclusions for this topic and for the broader field?
- Are their any limitations to your approach?
- Are there any other factors of relevance that impact upon the topic but fell outside the scope of the essay?
- Are their any suggestions you can make in terms of future research?
Well, you can read more here :) :
