Every essay starts with an introduction, right? So, I guess introduction is just as important as the main paragraph. Here's what we learnt today: How to write an introduction. 

Some links below will help you to further your understanding:

Miss Zu then gave us a topic and we then have to write an introduction in our groups. Each group have their own kind of 'Hook'. There are 7 hooks: 

• Facts & statistics
• Personal experience
• Definition
• Rhetorical question
• Contrast to thesis statement
• Current event
• Quotation

My group did the contrast to the thesis statement hook. The topic was about gays. The brain storming part was fun. Let your imagination run wild, people. I did. =D
