There are a variety techniques to use to make your reader want to read on. Below are some ideas on how you can do that. You can use:

  • Startling information

    These are facts or information that can be verified in your essay. For example it could be facts that may be known to the reader or facts that illustrate the point you wish to put across. If you decide to use startling information remember to follow it with a sentence or two. 

  • Anecdote/Dialogue

    An anecdote simply illustrates a point. It has to be concise and relevant to the essay.

    You do not have to identify the speaker in an anecdote but you should make it a point that the reader understands your point. Do not use more that three exchanges between speakers to put across that point. You could then follow this with a sentence or two.

  • Summary Information

    These are a few sentences that can effectively lead the reader to your thesis. The rule with this is that each one of these sentences should become gradually more specific until reaching your thesis.

  • A quotation

    You could also start your essay with a strong and interesting quotation.
