Lets judge an essay by it's introduction??

We were done with Speaking Test, Listening Test and Mid-term Test. Alhamdulillah. Now, we are going to focus on the final exam question paper which consists of reading and writing part. Writing part would be an essay of 350-400 words :S

Basicly, as we know, an essay will have the introduction, body(elaboration of the point) and conclusion. During high school, we were only focused on the body part but now, we will learn how to write an intro like an expert xD



An introduction should start with a hook to grab the reader's attention. Miss Zue tought us 7 types of hook which are:

1)Facts & statistics
2)Personal experience
3)Definition
4)Rhetorical question
5)Contrast to thesis statement
6)Current event
7)Quotation

After the hook, we need to write transition to move the reader to the more serious part which is the point. The last part of the introduction is the thesis statement to make contract with the reader. It does not have to be too specific. Relax. We still have a lot of paragraph to jot down our ideas :D Hihi.



Okay, I want to do the homework that Miss Zue gave us. Byebyeeee!! <3
