How to introduce an argumentative essay about a literary work
"A good start makes a good ending." The introduction is the first step to create an impression to lead the reader into an essay. However, it causes a lot of difficulties for the candidate. Opening the essay to get to the point and have enough ideas is sometimes quite "difficult". Therefore, the first thing candidates need to do is determine the main content and requirements stated in the topic. After correctly identifying the problem, they must have the most basic and general background knowledge to write the introduction.
How to make a good introduction
For essays on literary works, candidates can open their essays with the following formula: Author's name + author's position in literature or style + typical topic, typical work + brief overview of the work's content.
