Skill 3: Write the introductory paragraph

The purpose of the introduction is first to interest the reader in your topic and then to explain cleary to the reader what you are going to discuss. when finished with your introduction, the reader should be eager to continue on with your essay, and the reader should have an exact idea of your topic and how you are going to organize the discussion of your topic. you do not need to give the outcome of your discussion in the introduction; you can save that for the conclusion.
