Searching For Essay Introduction Examples Via The Internet.

Your essay introduction is one of the most important parts of your essay. Its job is to sets the scene for your reader:

• To give them a sense of anticipation of what is to come.
• Gives the background to what, what, when and where.
• It should put the topic of your work in context.
• Presents your projection of what you think would happen in given circumstances.

In order for you to write a really good essay introduction it is a really good idea to take the time to view examples from other people's work. You can choose to ask your tutor or go to your school library to access some examples, or you may choose to find some for yourself through the internet.

There are several websites that specialise in giving support to students and helping them to write essays, and also there are sites that can offer writing services.

Whichever service you choose you need to check out a few things:

• That access to the examples are free.
• The essays should be examples of work that are written by students that share the same first language as you.
• Try to access a few examples of differing qualities. This is so you will be able to see what a good essay introduction looks like; a poor one and an excellent one. You need to imagine your self as the teacher or tutor that will be marking the work.

Checkout some of the strategies that the writer has used to draw the reader into their work:

• Use of a quotation. It should be relevant to the content of the essay. If it is not immediately apparent, then read on a little way but only focus on the introduction.
• Start with a fact: this is a good way of getting your reader's attention, as well as getting them to sit up and think!
• Use of an anecdote: Is it short enough to hold the readers attention? Does it relate to the subject matter?
• Use of a Rhetorical question. Starting off a piece of work with a question that relates to the topic area is a good way to get the reader thinking.
• Using a Metaphor or Simile: This will help the reader to relate and compare the subject of the essay with something that may be more familiar to them.
• Does the Introduction merge with the rest of the essay? Has the introduction given a good trailer for what is to come in the main part?

Keep these strategies in mind when you are looking at examples. Try to decide what would work best for you.
