NEWSLETTER TIP OF THE WEEK: Writing a Great Introduction!
It is often very difficult to start writing simply because you don't know what to say in the first sentence. It is this first sentence that is so important as it is the reader's introduction to you and your piece of writing. One way to start an article like this and - one that will get the reader's attention - is to start with a question. The following are examples:
"You have been asked to write an article for your school magazine on the advantages of learning a second language".
1 "Have you ever considered the benefits of being able to speak a second language?"
2 "What will your chances of promotion be like at work?
3 "Improve you job prospects, get more from your holidays, and create even more interest in your life! Does this sound good to you?
Because these questions are directed at the reader they have a much greater chance of grabbing attention. The introduction could continue by introducing the points you are going to look at. For example:
"Have you ever considered the benefits of being able to speak a second language? Your career prospects will improve, it's a great way to meet people from other countries and it will challenge your mind."
