Introduction writing
One of the most difficult aspects of writing is deciding what to include in the first paragraph. After all, your first paragraph will set the tone for the remainder of your essay and what's important is that you try to create a positive impression for the reader. Knowing how to write a good introduction, then, is a key element of a successful assignment
Conclusion writing
Together with introductions, conclusions frame texts. They give the reader a sense of 'completion'. Without a satisfactory conclusion, the reader would be left with the feeling that the text hasn't really been finished. Conclusions should also leave the reader feeling that the aims of the writer have been achieved. They should not, therefore, try to introduce any new or unrelated ideas into the main text.
Topic sentences
Most paragraphs have a key sentence which introduces the central focus of the paragraph. This is usually referred to as the topic sentence. Most, but not all topic sentences come at the beginning of a paragraph. The paragraph should then go on to provide evidence to support the central thesis/statement/claim/ belief contained in the topic sentence. Evidence can be provided by referring to others' work (see section on referencing for advice about how to do this), or by giving examples, key facts or statistics.
