Today,Ms Zu taught us how to write introduction for essay.Introduction is the most important part in the essay because introduction will attract the reader to read your essay more.If the introduction is lame the reader will boring.For introduction, there are 3 sections of introduction,which are the hooks,the transition and the thesis.T There are 7 hooks:

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

The Transtitions-use to move reader's attention from hook to the thesis of the essay. The Thesis-the purpose of the essay

Make your opening an introduction that hooks the reader with the content and makes then want to stay.
Begin with a question or a challenge to your reader.

1. Follow this with a good thesis statement that identifies the objective of the work, makes a point with making, provides structure for the complete work and is easy to identify. 
2. The remainder of the work should be filled with stories and solutions that the reader can connect to as they continue to read. 
3. Make sure that all of the remaining sections of the work are compelling, well organized and easily read.
