WEBVTT 00:06.870 --> 00:07.370 OK. 00:07.450 --> 00:15.250 Let's go ahead and move forward to to look at the introduction examples and please look at how we demonstrate 00:15.310 --> 00:24.180 a high score method the introduction is very important because it lays out the general idea of the essay 00:24.270 --> 00:29.520 it lays out the specific question being addressed or the controversy being addressed in the question 00:30.450 --> 00:34.400 and then also puts forth your position and how you're going to explain your position. 00:35.470 --> 00:41.400 So when a greater looks in your introduction they should see all three of those things. 00:41.510 --> 00:43.030 OK so let's have a look. 00:48.460 --> 00:49.690 Here is our degree. 00:49.700 --> 00:50.620 Agree or disagree. 00:50.620 --> 00:52.150 Question. 00:52.160 --> 00:57.860 Full time university students spend most of the time studying they should be doing other activities 00:57.860 --> 01:00.530 to what extent do you agree or disagree I completely disagree. 01:02.140 --> 01:05.320 And you can see our outline right there that we did earlier. 01:05.470 --> 01:10.600 Now in some of these introductions one thing you're going to notice is that you might see the thesis 01:10.600 --> 01:13.720 statement written a little differently than I wrote it before. 01:13.900 --> 01:18.760 The reason why I'm doing that is I dislike to give you sometimes a different look at how to write it 01:19.630 --> 01:19.960 right. 01:20.440 --> 01:27.550 I like to try to show you as many different methods and styles and ways to write thesis statements and 01:27.550 --> 01:32.140 topic sentences and introductions and body paragraphs. 01:32.140 --> 01:36.060 So sometimes I change it up just to give you a different viewpoint. 01:37.690 --> 01:46.810 Now here's this introduction the stages of life require difficult choices and university lifestyle is 01:46.810 --> 01:50.700 an example of a situation that requires challenging decisions. 01:50.770 --> 01:58.300 Most students fall either fall into the camp of other uninterrupted focus on studying and others participate 01:58.300 --> 02:00.790 in out of class explorations. 02:00.790 --> 02:06.610 If a firm choice between the two camps must be made a student should stick to the books because that 02:06.610 --> 02:10.560 is what is required for a high GPA and better opportunities after graduation. 02:12.420 --> 02:20.610 There is a solid three sentence introduction write three sentence introduction very good sentence quality 02:21.090 --> 02:28.680 very good word usage we cover the general idea the specific question and also we have our thesis statement 02:28.680 --> 02:29.190 there. 02:30.470 --> 02:31.080 Right. 02:31.110 --> 02:35.010 So you know you're writing three sentences. 02:35.030 --> 02:41.640 I'm writing three sentences and really what makes a difference between somebody getting a really high 02:41.640 --> 02:50.750 score and somebody doing so so is the quality of the work the quality of the work. 02:50.790 --> 02:54.790 A lot of times students want to ask me about where are my ideas there. 02:55.110 --> 02:56.850 Do I have all the right sentences there. 02:56.880 --> 03:01.530 Well yeah of course you might have the right sentences there but let's talk about the quality of your 03:01.530 --> 03:02.580 work. 03:02.850 --> 03:08.560 What kind of quality are you putting out. 03:08.690 --> 03:09.710 Now let's take a look at the. 03:09.710 --> 03:11.240 To what extent do you agree or disagree. 03:11.250 --> 03:18.120 Question the qualities of a person needs the product the qualities a person needs to become successful 03:18.120 --> 03:24.000 in today's world can not be learned at a university or similar academic institution to what extent do 03:24.000 --> 03:25.260 you agree or disagree. 03:25.480 --> 03:26.990 Here I mainly agree right. 03:29.460 --> 03:33.290 Here is the introduction right. 03:33.430 --> 03:39.480 The goal of every high school college or graduate degree individual is to become successful in life 03:40.450 --> 03:46.720 however some practitioners of success theory believe that some skills for success can not be addressed 03:46.750 --> 03:48.780 or acquired outside of school. 03:49.960 --> 03:51.810 In fact this is mainly true. 03:51.820 --> 03:59.100 There is my position because sources outside of the realm of education provide qualities such as confidence 03:59.820 --> 04:07.020 and social skills that universities are now only are only now beginning to realize as important to teach 04:07.530 --> 04:08.050 right. 04:08.880 --> 04:14.910 I'm warning of that when the when the greater reads it they know they know they're going to get an essay 04:14.910 --> 04:19.320 where the person doesn't completely agree. 04:19.320 --> 04:20.150 OK. 04:20.280 --> 04:27.090 The person doesn't completely agree they're going to get the idea that that idea here is another to 04:27.090 --> 04:28.620 what extent do you agree or disagree. 04:28.620 --> 04:33.600 This is the one about there being funds for postgraduate research and whether or not you should give 04:33.600 --> 04:37.800 it only to science or give it to other sources. 04:37.800 --> 04:40.560 Now here I completely disagree right. 04:41.310 --> 04:45.960 I completely disagree that you should only give it to science and I support giving it to other sources 04:47.790 --> 04:53.310 the next generation of thinkers that pursue postgraduate need support. 04:53.340 --> 04:58.970 If the government and the societies they control desire improvement with this idea of government support 04:58.970 --> 05:03.670 in mind there should be a period of the improvement with this idea of government support in mind. 05:03.690 --> 05:09.210 We have to consider putting all of the funding towards science which is the controversial stance that 05:09.210 --> 05:15.690 some desire provide the entirety of the money towards science is a horrible idea. 05:16.040 --> 05:24.240 As arts and communication are equally deserving of this postgraduate financing all right now we have 05:24.240 --> 05:30.030 the opinion question is the one about living longer today when they are living longer today. 05:31.040 --> 05:39.540 And here is the introduction why people have lives extended further than in the past is a fascinating 05:39.570 --> 05:41.200 and interesting topic. 05:41.490 --> 05:47.370 In the USA studies have shown that people in the eighteen hundreds lived to about 55 and today people 05:47.370 --> 05:49.900 on average live until they are 70. 05:49.920 --> 05:55.890 The reasons for this phenomenon may vary but most likely it is occurring due to medicine and healthy 05:55.890 --> 05:59.600 food. 06:00.010 --> 06:01.740 Here's a another opinion introduction. 06:01.740 --> 06:05.810 This is the one on children spending their free time doing homework. 06:05.820 --> 06:08.480 Is that a good or bad thing and I see it as a bad thing. 06:10.990 --> 06:16.360 In modern times parents are increasingly concerned with the activities of their children after they 06:16.360 --> 06:18.340 finish the school day. 06:18.340 --> 06:23.350 I'm sorry I only read that over in modern times parents are increasingly concerned with the activities 06:23.350 --> 06:26.110 of their children after they finish the school day. 06:26.110 --> 06:30.530 In light of these concerns some parents choose to have them do homework with their free time. 06:30.790 --> 06:37.120 But nowadays there is a there is debate as to whether this has some positive or negative effects after 06:37.120 --> 06:41.190 considering after considering all angles of this controversial question. 06:41.290 --> 06:46.420 The more long term solution is to take the right to take the attention of homework and place them on 06:46.420 --> 06:52.960 the value on it and place it on the value on family time and playing 06:57.240 --> 06:57.530 ok. 06:57.530 --> 07:01.530 Here is a describe or explain introduction. 07:01.530 --> 07:06.850 This is the question is talking about losing natural resources such as forest animals or clean water 07:06.860 --> 07:11.790 we have to choose one resource that's disappearing and explaining why it needs to be saved. 07:11.810 --> 07:14.280 I chose trees and there's the introduction. 07:14.330 --> 07:17.300 There's the outline right down there below on the left side. 07:18.930 --> 07:21.640 And here is the introduction right. 07:21.690 --> 07:26.590 So remember the goal of an introduction is to capture the general idea. 07:26.760 --> 07:33.160 The specific question in your thesis statement is only three things everybody. 07:33.490 --> 07:40.410 We are actively actively losing numerous resources such as forest animals and clean water due to 21st 07:40.410 --> 07:48.330 century individuals and corporations individuals and corporations due to budget constraints and other 07:48.330 --> 07:49.590 priorities. 07:49.620 --> 07:56.190 Governments often must make difficult and controversial decisions on which resources are worthy of protection 07:56.190 --> 07:57.840 from total loss. 07:57.840 --> 08:04.330 Other points of view on this on the most critical resource to preserve very but we must first decide 08:04.330 --> 08:11.270 to safeguard forests since it affects animal habitat and human quality of life. 08:15.060 --> 08:16.440 Here's a discuss both sides. 08:16.440 --> 08:23.100 QUESTION OK computers are being used more and more in education. 08:23.120 --> 08:28.490 Some people say that this is a positive trend while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. 08:28.490 --> 08:29.750 Discuss both sides 08:32.310 --> 08:38.130 computers have been a part of daily life for about 30 years and touch all parts of society including 08:38.130 --> 08:39.540 education. 08:39.580 --> 08:42.450 There is a general idea general subject. 08:42.450 --> 08:48.360 However the marriage of computers and education has its detractors and champions. 08:48.360 --> 08:54.090 The more convincing argument rests with computer education promoters who look to research in modern 08:54.150 --> 08:55.790 society as key points. 08:56.310 --> 09:02.560 However each side will be given its due in the bare grasp alone. 09:02.680 --> 09:07.010 And now we have a discuss both sides question where we're going to have a separate opinion. 09:07.030 --> 09:13.290 When we write the body paragraphs some people say that it's best to be loyal and work for one company 09:13.290 --> 09:14.790 during one's life. 09:14.790 --> 09:19.570 Others take the opposite view and say it's better to change jobs frequently in one's life. 09:19.680 --> 09:20.660 Discuss the opposite. 09:20.700 --> 09:24.590 Discuss these positions using specific examples of both. 09:24.750 --> 09:26.390 Then tell which one you agree with. 09:26.430 --> 09:28.860 So you know how to talk about both sides. 09:28.860 --> 09:35.530 But also I need to express my opinion the option of changing jobs has never been easier than in today's 09:35.530 --> 09:41.800 world and workers often are torn between staying put or seeking to arise and this new development in 09:41.800 --> 09:47.220 the business world causes much headache but ultimately comes down to a personal decision. 09:47.230 --> 09:52.480 While this paper will outline the points for staying in one company the better option is to change jobs 09:52.510 --> 09:56.290 due to inspiration and new friendships. 09:56.290 --> 09:58.480 Here is a problem solution introduction. 09:58.480 --> 10:01.200 This is the one about the population increasing. 10:01.330 --> 10:04.750 Some say the urbanization process denies us doing our neighbors. 10:04.750 --> 10:07.650 And this causes a loss of community sense. 10:07.930 --> 10:09.580 What is the main problem with this. 10:09.610 --> 10:12.160 And what measures can be taken to overcome it. 10:12.160 --> 10:14.370 There is the outline down there below. 10:14.410 --> 10:21.260 Let's take a look at the introduction for this question for hundreds of years inner city societies have 10:21.260 --> 10:27.980 expanded exponentially and this has resulted in a lack of community connection that we once had in the 10:27.980 --> 10:30.530 old days of villages and towns. 10:30.530 --> 10:35.780 Modern day scholars and politicians have a strong desire to explain the problem of less community and 10:35.780 --> 10:42.890 call on citizens to creatively to creatively enforce solutions to the challenge this essay will explain 10:42.890 --> 10:48.740 in detail how we reduce safety and growth are the problems and community centers and scheduled monthly 10:48.740 --> 10:50.630 activities are potential solutions. 10:51.880 --> 10:57.450 Now with the problems solution question your solutions should address your stated problems. 10:57.470 --> 10:57.760 OK 11:02.950 --> 11:09.480 here is a two part introduction where we're talking about people work because they need money to live. 11:09.510 --> 11:12.960 What are some other reasons that people would discuss one or more of these reasons 11:15.540 --> 11:21.180 motivation to work is a sweet nectar that everyone wants to taste outside of money. 11:21.180 --> 11:25.800 What are some other reasons that push a person out of bed for corporate drudgery. 11:25.800 --> 11:31.910 Various experts would argue for enjoyment family pressure and distraction as additional motivations. 11:32.580 --> 11:38.070 Although these choices will be explored below we will have a very detailed discussion on the work and 11:38.220 --> 11:42.910 on the work motivations resulting from social reinforcement. 11:42.930 --> 11:43.110 Right. 11:48.340 --> 11:51.690 Here is an advantage disadvantage introduction. 11:51.790 --> 11:55.930 This is the one just talking about discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your way of life with 11:55.930 --> 11:56.950 that of your parents 11:59.640 --> 12:08.490 and remember on this one we're doing it in terms of categories in terms of categories where I am taking 12:08.550 --> 12:18.280 a two categories and comparing both sides in those two categories that allows I think for a very focused 12:18.370 --> 12:22.020 essay Here's the introduction. 12:22.150 --> 12:28.210 We cannot possibly imagine what the future generations will find enjoyable but whatever they decide 12:28.240 --> 12:31.240 will be based on past ideas and activities. 12:32.860 --> 12:39.250 The future systems my basic choices of satisfaction around benefits and drawbacks associated with my 12:39.250 --> 12:42.490 peer group lifestyle or my parents. 12:42.490 --> 12:48.110 Considering all angles the next generation will find fulfillment from my time period. 12:48.100 --> 12:53.500 If we examine the strengths and weaknesses related to leader and minority opportunities 12:58.670 --> 13:05.250 now here is another advantage disadvantage is the one about bringing your family along overseas an employee 13:05.250 --> 13:10.520 or student must consider various conditions when moving to a new country and chief among them is whether 13:10.700 --> 13:13.310 to include family on the journey. 13:13.490 --> 13:19.990 Definitely choosing to travel with the wife and kids is ripe with potential benefits and drawbacks. 13:20.150 --> 13:26.090 Without question bringing your family includes more positive such as eliminating homesickness and opportunities 13:26.090 --> 13:27.060 provided. 13:27.140 --> 13:32.510 But we must also address the negatives of expense and distractions related to including family on the 13:32.510 --> 13:34.910 journey. 13:35.130 --> 13:38.540 Various a complete introduction with a thesis statement 13:42.720 --> 13:47.700 so do you have any questions about the introductions. 13:47.730 --> 13:53.460 I hope that you had an opportunity to look at our introductions and now you have a deeper understanding 13:54.030 --> 14:01.320 of how to write a proper introduction for all of the different types of islets task two questions. 14:02.160 --> 14:05.430 Thank you very much and I will talk to you in the next lecture.
