:clap: That was great information
:oo7dt: I began thinking of changing my major
Too bad we don't learn these thing in school

I read this reply twice in order to understand every small detail in it


… Is it right? Do we call it as a strong word? Think if & tell me
I usually don't use these words, but someone told me once
:nosweat: about thim and I thought it can be useful. So, I posted them



A- BEGIN WITH AN ATTENTION GRABBER
1- البدء في خطف الانتباه لدى الآخرين

Immm … actually, there is no rules on how to grab the other's attention, which means it's up to you & your creativity on how you'll grab the reader's attention … but here are some indeas that will be useful for you …l
It really depends on the writer himself and his abilities
But if the introduction was attractive it will help alot
in the rest of the essay

¤ معلومات جذابة | Startling Information ¤
Immm … an interesting way to grab the reader's attention … but bear in mind that the information you write must be true and verifiable and it doesn’t need to be totally new to your reader … it could simply be a pertinent fact that explicitly illustrates the point you wish to make … as for this technique, it would be better if you elaborate this piece of facts with two or three
sentences of examples
It's an interesting way. But, it's not that easy to master
The writer should have a good knowledge of what he is going to write
You can't add something that you are not certain of
And you can add to or three examples about it to make it more clear
That's what I understood

Immm … an anecdote is like starting with a story that illustrate your topic's point … you have to make sure that the anecdote must be short, to the point, and relevant to your topic … this would be a very effective opener for your essay but use it carefully … some of you might start with it & end with it looooooooooooool … so please be careful …l
It's kinda hard to write an anecode in the introduction
And more than that, you must keep on your mind that it should
have a relation with the Thesis Statement
Imagination and reasonable thinking help alot in writing the anecode


¤ محادثة لتبادل الآراء والأفكار | Dialogue ¤


Immm … well, this technique is quite complicated but interesting one which deal with starting your essay with a dialogue between two speakers … an appropriate dialogue doesn't have to identify these speakers, but at the same time the reader must understand the point you are trying to convey … also, you have to use at most two to three exchanges between these speakers to make your point which means you'll have to write 5 to 6 sentences at most and also followed by 1 or 2 sentenced of elaborations … I think it's somehow hard to understand, so, please refer to the translation …l
This technique is complicated
In general, I don't like writing dialogues. But sometimes they are
the best way to clearify certain IDEAs
You need to arrange your IDEAs and think of the best way
to write the dialogue

¤ معلومات مستخلصة أو موجزة | Summary Information ¤


Immm … a very strait forwarded technique to the Thesis Statement which deals with a few sentences explaining your topic in general terms and it can lead the reader gently to your thesis. Each sentence should become gradually more specific; until you reach your thesis … it's the easiest & the most popular technique used among the writers …l
This is the most common way of writing the introduction
It is easy and doesn't need alot of experience
And most of the time I use this technique

B- ADDING SENTENCES IF NEEDED
2- إضافة جمل إذا احتاج الأمر لذلك


Well … I meant with that if the attention grabber was only a sentence or two, add one or two more sentences that will lead the reader from your opening to your Thesis Statement … which summarize another important point; each paragraph must be 5 to 6 sentences … that depends on the article or the essay you write … some exams or situations need to be 8 to 9 sentences in each paragraph …l
I don't have any addition to that


C- FINISHING WITH THE THESIS STATEMENT
3- إنهاء المقدمة بالـ Thesis Statement


Immm … I've already explained this point in my last reply … so no need to repeat … but here I need to explain something we didn't mention yet … WHAT TO WRITE IN THE THESIS STATEMENT? Have you think of this question before? So, here we come to this …l
:strongsad: Why did you stop? I was looking forward to this point
Very well. Looks like we have to wait until CrEaTiVe gets his rest

I nearly wrote a comment about everything you said
I hope that I understood the techniques in the right way

I am going to sleep now

Bye
