viewpoint is

PARTS OF AN INTRODUCTION

1. Question analysis: think about the question, what does it actually mean
When we see the question we have to think about the general topic. WE DO
NOT WRITE ABOUT THE GENERAL TOPIC. Think about it an the specific key
words about the questions
Look at the instruction words
2. Idea generation: the most important thing is to keep it simple. The simplest,
most straightforward answer is the best.
 What is the simplest idea? = easy to write about and to understand
 If were arguing with someone, what would your main point be?
 ATGUMENT METTHOD: if you were making an argument, what would be your
main point? Do not try think of many different ideas, just 1.
GOOD IDEA: easy to understand, relevant (answer specific information): and
reasonable, use reasons to support your argument.
This is when we start writing:

3. Paraphrasing the question statement = state the same ideas using


different words.
 By using synonyms
 By changing the structure of the sentence
Don´t change every single word or change word incorrectly.
Keep the grammar good.
4. Outlining your view on first question and outline your view on second
question

- By using synonyms
- By changing the structure of the sentence
