Lesson 2: Writing a Perfect Introduction

1️⃣ Get to the Point

Weak version:
“Recently, AI has become more popular.”
(Vague, slow, no angle.)

Stronger version:
“The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has reshaped how societies understand productivity and creativity.”

Why it works:

• Gets to the point immediately
• Uses precise vocabulary
• Signals clear direction + impact

2️⃣ Avoid Overgeneralisation

Weak version:
“People have recently started worrying more about the environment.”

Stronger version:
“Growing concerns about climate change have fundamentally altered public attitudes toward energy consumption.”

Why it works:

• Replaces vague “people” with a specific, meaningful group.
• Upgrades a general verb (“worrying”) into a clear, measurable idea.
• Clarifies what has actually shifted.

What “public attitudes” really means:

It refers to a specific dimension of behaviour:

• 👉 their beliefs
• 👉 their perceptions
• 👉 their opinions
• 👉 their preferences

3️⃣ Understand Why the Stronger Version Works

Weak example:
“Students use technology a lot.”
(Too general — no clarity about how or why it matters.)

Stronger example:
“Students rely on digital tools to organise tasks, submit assignments, and collaborate with classmates.”

Why this works:

• It replaces vague use with clearer rely on.
• Gives three concrete actions: organise, submit, collaborate.
• Makes an abstract idea vivid + easy to picture.

Vivid writing sounds confident, precise, and alive.

⭐ Final Message

Strong writing is not about complexity. It’s about:

• Getting to the point
• Being precise instead of general
• Understanding why strong sentences work

Your writing becomes clearer, sharper, and more academic instantly.
