Four Ways to Write Poor Introductions
Introductions are the most important part in your content. It always gives your readers a hint on want your topic is all about.
When writing an introduction, see to it that you can draw more readers. Think how most readers find it easy to skip one’s writing upon reading the first two sentences in an introduction?
That is why you have to know how to write a very effective introduction. This is where the topic sentence or the main sentence can be found. This kind of a sentence contains the main idea of your content.
Once your readers know what your topic is all about and what’s your point in writing the content, it will be easier for them to decide whether they will continue to read your writing or not.
You can draw more readers if you have written a good introduction. But in case that you don’t know what kind of introduction that you are writing, you have to determine the condition of your first paragraph or the introduction of your content.
Does your introduction have gone bad or did you write it correctly according to your plan? Whatever is the case and before you aim to write a good and effective introduction, you should know first how to write a bad one.
This way, you will be aware about the things that you should and you shouldn’t do when writing your introduction. Besides, you will never know whether you have successfully created a good introduction despite your efforts to make it a perfect one yet you’ve always get your writing rejected just because you don’t even know that it went worse.
Want to write poor introductions? You know, for those times you want to show how bad you really suck. Oh yeah, make sure you don’t use a writing check software later either. And check it out if you keep on committing this mistake over and over again.
Mislead the readers. Give them an introduction that builds up expectations…for a different type of piece than what you’ve written. For instance, insinuate that your essay will prove that the world is made of cotton candy, but spend the rest of your paragraphs offering conjectures based on no tangible evidence and chastising arguments for the world being made of chocolates. That always works wonders.
Keep it underdeveloped. Write your introduction such that any point you give will make no sense unless the reader goes halfway down the work. Mystery is intriguing, by the way, so give them ideas that won’t be developed until much later. It will keep them hanging (themselves, out of frustration, that is).
Make sure the reader can’t understand it. Make sure the introduction isn’t self-explanatory. Without looking at the title or the succeeding paragraphs, your readers should not be able to make out what ideas you’re attempting to communicate. That’s art in motion.
Give it poor focus. Throw in a random collection of facts that readers can’t wrap their heads around in your introduction. Confusion makes them want to read further. It’s true.
