How To Start a College Essay?

You are here: Home / Blog / How To Start a College Essay?

December 17, 2019 //  by Amit Kumar

One thing that you will have to write a lot in your college life is essays. We can learn in-depth about a particular topic and collect a large size of data on it. It makes writing the body more comfortable and specific. But the problem arises when we don’t know how to introduce the topic in your essay.

Most of the essays lack a proper introduction, and it ruins the whole experience of reading the essay. Here are a few simple tricks to keep your introduction healthy while writing an essay: 

Grab Your Reader’s Attention

These simple means start with something interesting. You can present some facts or figures which may astonish the reader. One way to keep the attention of the reader is to ask them questions at regular intervals. You can also start your first line with a tough question and then follow up with the answer.

Usage of quotes is also an exciting technique that a lot of people use when they are introducing a topic. Don’t write dull sentences in between. A reader is likely to drop out of your essay on the very first stupid penalty that they read. Be a good storyteller. Everyone likes to read a good story and not just facts and figures. So keep that in mind while starting your essay. 

Write With Your Voice 

It is an essential thing that many of the essays lack. When you are writing an essay, please don’t write it as an anonymous person. Present your own words and feelings so that when the reader is reading it, they feel that the words are coming from a personal point of view.

This makes the essay’s exciting and begs the reader to question or agree with your beliefs. But when you write it as an anonymous person and leave facts and figures on it, there can’t be anything duller than that. 

Don’t Bore Your Readers

The introduction needs to be perfectly interesting. Because if it is boring, there is no chance the reader is following up with the whole body of essay ahead.

Don’t just formally write things, make them interesting by adding controversial facts and figures related to your topic. Reread it after writing your introduction and think if it is boring or it is interesting. You will know what to do. 

Be Clear and Logical 

One important thing to note is you have to be specific. Even though you have to write interesting things and make your essay more readable, you also have to be specific. You can’t go on about writing anything you wish.

If what you are writing is off the topic by a large margin, it is off-putting. Your ideas and logic should be understandable. Your introduction is the foundation of the whole essay, and if it is off-putting and unspecific, no one is going to read it completely. 

Add Surprising Angles

When others start reading your essay, they are likely to do it with their preconceived notions about how something should be or how you might have written it in general. But this is where you can add the element of surprise. Introduce a different angle to your subject.

Suppose if you were to take a positive stand for something, look at it from a negative angle as well. Add both the angles, your readers would get a more vivid view of the topic and will enjoy reading it as well.
