An introduction is the first part of a piece of writing. It tells the reader what the writing will be about and makes them want to keep reading.
A strong introduction should grab attention and clearly state the topic.
Introductions are important because they help the reader understand the purpose of your writing and prepare them for what comes next.
An introduction is like a roadmap—it shows readers where your writing will take them.
You can start an introduction in many ways. Here are some strategies to make it interesting:
Choose a beginning that matches your topic and makes readers curious.
A good introduction usually includes three parts: a hook, the topic, and a main idea or opinion (thesis statement).
Think of your introduction as a doorway. It welcomes the reader into your writing and shows them what to expect.
After writing your introduction, check that it is clear, interesting, and connected to the rest of your writing.
Reading your introduction out loud can help you hear if it sounds strong and clear.
