..introductory paragraph..

     What is introductory paragraph? I also do not know what introductory paragraph is. So, Miss Zu teaches us what introductory paragraph is. Introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of an essay. I’m very happy to learn what are introductory paragraph and the part of it. This is because I never learn about this before. It can help me to write a good introductory paragraph and also make my essay nice to read. Thank you Miss Zu…

There are 3 parts of introductory paragraph which are:

1.      The hook – designed to grab attention immediately and give some indication about the essay’s topic
2.      The transition – moves the reader from the hook to the driving force to the essay
3.      The thesis – make the contract with the reader about what will be discussed without a blatant announcement

The hook is designed to grab attention immediately and give some indication about the essay’s topic. There are 7 types of hook which are:

1.      Personal examples
2.      Quotations
3.      Facts or statistic
4.      Rhetorical questions
5.      Current events
6.      Contrast to the thesis statement
7.      Definition
