  • 1. Hello. In this little video you will learn how to write the introduction, the body and the conclusion paragraphs for an essay. I hope you like it

2. So, in order to get started, lets talk about the introduction. 3. Whats the introduction? 4. Its the first paragraph you will write in order to start an essay. Its composed by the introductory sentence and the thesis. 5. The introductory sentence can give a fact, information or a definition, but can also give a general statement, it means, what many people think or feel. 6. And the thesis can say what you think or feel, give a fact or information or introduce what the body paragraphs will say. 7. Now lets talk about the body paragraph 8. The body paragraphs talk more about the thesis. They can explain, describe, give reasons or give examples for the thesis. 9. Just keep in mind that the first sentence is the main point and the following sentences are supporting details. 10. And finally lets go with the conclusion 11. The conclusion is the end for the essay, for that trip you started with the thesis and the introduction. 12. With the conclusion, you can restate the thesis, give a final thought or feeling, suggest something, summarize the main points, share a hope or even predict something. 13.
