The introduction and conclusion work together to make
the topic and main ideas of the essay
clear to the reader. Without an introduction and conclusion, an essay is
just a group of paragraphs.
The
introduction
The introduction
is the first paragraph of an essay.
The
introduction................
·
Is usually five to ten sentence
·
The reader’s interest
·
Gives the general topic of the essay
·
Gives background information about the topic
·
State the main point (the thesis statement) of the essay
To
make a strong introduction, should be.............
·
Introduces the topic clearly
·
Gives several sentences of information about the topic
·
State the thesis (the main idea) of the essay
To make an introduction
interesting, include..........
·
Interesting facts or statistics
·
A personal story or example
·
An interesting quotation
Any of
the following will make an introduction weak :
·
It doesn’t give enough information about the topic or gives
too much information abaout it.
·
It talk about too many different topics.
·
It does not state a clear thesis.
The
conclusion
The
conclusion is the final paragraph of the essay.
A good concluding paragraph.......
·
Summarises the main points of the essay
·
Restates the thesis (using different word)
·
Makes a final comment about the essay’s main idea
·
May emphasise an action that you would like the reader to
take
Don’t intruduce
new ideas in a conclusion . A conclusion only restates or gives further commentary on ideas
discussed in the essay.
