Essays are written to explain a process, examine something, or argue for or against a point. The opening paragraph of your essay should contain a thesis statement, as well as capture your reader’s attention and interest. Remember the adage, “You’ll never get another chance to make a good first impression.”…
The introduction of the essay must clearly focus on a thesis (an “I say”), and the body of the essay must have clear and specific examples to develop supporting points. Try to conclude the essay by connecting the issues your essay discusses with your readers in some way (remember, your readers include the portfolio committee, your instructor, and the other students in the course).

The introduction serves to inform the reader of the basic premises, and then to state the author's thesis, or central idea. A thesis can also be used to point out the subject of each body paragraph. When a thesis essay is applied to this format, the first paragraph typically consists of a narrative hook, followed by a sentence that introduces the general theme, then another sentence narrowing the focus of the one previous. (If the author is using this format for a text-based thesis, then a sentence quoting the text, supporting the essay-writer's claim, would typically go here, along with the name of the text and the name of the author. Example: "In the book Night, Elie Wiesel says..."). After this, the author narrows the discussion of the topic by stating or identifying a problem. Often, an organizational sentence is used here to describe the layout of the paper. Finally, the last sentence of the first paragraph of such an essay would state the thesis the author is trying to prove. The thesis is often linked to a "road map" for the essay, which is basically an embedded outline stating precisely what the three body paragraphs will address and giving the items in the order of the presentation. Not to be confused with an organizational sentence, a thesis merely states "The book Night follows Elie Wiesel's journey from innocence to experience," while an organizational sentence directly states the structure and order of the essay.…
Many good essay-writers will then sketch out a brief outline of their essay before actually writing it. Feel free to do this.

Firstly, the most difficult part of writing an academic essay is how to start. It is very hard to come up with a good thesis statement. Thesis statement is the topic sentence which is present the important idea in the essay. It will shape the body paragraph and determine what researchers are going to write. Therefore, the way to approach these thesis statements is important to learn. Moreover, the purpose of the essay have to be considered at the beginning. If researchers do not know the purpose, they cannot start and make their essay coherently. In brief, a good opening will help the other parts easier to write.…
