 Your introduction conveys your thinking to the reader straight away, so it is worth making a good impression from the start.

 Finding your academic voice can take time, so read good academic writing and keep writing – don’t expect the first version to be the best that you can do.

 Drafting a good introduction encourages you to do the sort of thinking that really strengthens your essay, especially its structure.

 A strong introduction conveys a clarity of thinking to your reader.

 An appropriate orientating sentence is a real kindness to your reader, drawing them to the essay and the essay to them.

 A clear outline of your essay (a statement of intent) should convey a sense of what you will address, when you will address it and why it is relevant for the essay title.

 It is often worth editing your introduction once you have completed your essay.
