Grammar, Usage / "what do we have to know about paraphrasing?" - HOW TO START AN INTRODUCTION [6]
HI i want to see if i can help here.
If you cannot start an introduction, then what you do is write the entire body of work first and then come back later to write the introduction sometimes, writing the entire essay first with the introduction gives u an idea on how to write the introduction, It is pretty much like reverse engineering. The introduction takes the reader from a general idea to a specific idea or sometimes the introduction takes the reader from a familiar subject to an unfamiliar subject. So for the case of your assignment for example, you may want to start with the general and then descend onto the subject of paraphrasing. for example. i might start with something like this:
Who Am i to be intelligent, knowledgeable, or an expert? The truth is that I'm nobody but at the same time I am somebody. Since one's self worth is not always the best and there could always be someone out there who knows better and is more knowledgeable, Sometimes it is wise to do the self effacing act of paraphrasing someone else's work as a mean to validate ours.
as you can see i went from the general and then descended on the idea of paraphrasing. the general is always a little related to the mean idea of paraphrasing but it cacthes the readers attention and makes the reader wonder what exactly we are trying to say. By the time the reader figure it out, he or she is already on the main subject. After the general, and the specific, you then outline the work you will be doing as the last part opf the introduction. so an introduction really contains three parts ( the general, the descend into specific or also called thesis statement sometimes and then the third part (which i did not put in my sample introduction) is the outline of what you will be doing in the body of the essay.
I hope i was helpful
please read and comment my essays too
Thanks
