What does a good introduction to an essay consist of?
A good introduction should be clear and to the point, it should include:
- A brief opening sentence that shows the reader the general theme of your essay
- A thesis statement that clearly points out your position ("In this essay it will be argued that...")
- The outline/plan of your essay ("This analysis will be divided into x points...")
* An introduction's length is normally around 10% of your text
