Writing an Introduction — 1
Task A:
Compare the following introductions borrowed from two different essays and answer the questions:
- Which introduction do you like better? Why?
- What makes the other introduction not so good? How would you improve it?
The extracts are original texts written by students and may contain all sorts of mistakes.
Task B:
Write your own introduction (see the task here: Essay — 1).
Introduction 1
To my mind, the main problem of this
text is a family’s role in difficult
situations in our life. If Thomas knew
about his teacher’s opinion, he would
never become a great scientist. I
firmly believe that his mother helped
him to change his future life and not
to pay any attention to such teachers,
who couldn’t see talented pupils.
Introduction 2
The main problem of the educational
system nowadays is that schools do
not pay attention to their students’
unique characters and minds and try
to teach everybody the same thing.
Some people think that our
educational system should be
reorganized while others are satisfied
with its present state.
