How to write an introduction?

The first paragraph of your answer can be considered as an introduction. An introduction shows your understanding level of the question. The usual way of giving an introduction to an answer is by defining the concept in the given question. Although it is one of the good approaches, the majority of the students are going to give the same as an introduction and your answer will be one among them.

Other better approaches to intro:

- Current News relevant to the question

- Appropriate data of any reports or indices

Also, remember that introduction will not fetch any marks, hence it should be written in a short and précise manner.
