HOW TO START YOUR ESSAY LIKE A PRO...IN 15 SECONDS

Over time, as both a student and supervisor at Cambridge AND Oxford University, I’ve come up with this easy to follow formula that you can apply to ANY essay question. It’s got me a first every single year at University and it’s the formula I teach all my students!

Introductions of an essay should do 2 things:
a.Define the key concepts the essays will talk about.
For example, if the essay title was “What is the role of the insula in decision-making?”, it’s important to set the scene by defining what the “insula” is and what “decision-making” is. This immediately tells the examiner that this person knows what they’re talking about.
b.Tell the reader in a sentence the main point of your essay and what key topics it will cover.
For example, your essay’s main point may be to say “the insula is vital for decision-making” and the key points may be things like “its role in emotion”, “converting subconscious changes to conscious feelings” etc. This automatically tells the examiner what to expect and allows them to form a good first impression.
