or information that support the essay.

summarizes the overall topic or ideas of an essay.

readers.
The following are the guidelines for writing the introduction of the essay.

reader.
• You can quote a statement about a topic or something related to the whole

• At the end, there must be a thesis statement that gives an insight to the
author’s evidence.

9. What Does the Body of

commonly highlights all the topics and ideas.
The body must include the following:
• The evidence and supporting details of the expository essay in addition to
the author’s ideas.

statement.

the essay that must be defined and described in the essay.

arguable statement that provides the reader how the evidence supports,
develops, or explained the essay’s thesis statement.
• Structure. The work that the writer does to organize the idea, the series of
sub-topics and sections through which it is explained and developed.

12. PRACTICE

13. Introduction
Introduction paragraphs in an essay have two basic parts, which are
the background and the thesis statement.
The background introduces the topic and tries to attract the reader's
interest. The background consists of a number of general statements
about the topic that gradually become more specific and narrowed
down to a particular focus. You can think of an introduction
paragraph as having a similar shape to a funnel in the way ideas
relate to one another.
The thesis statement is always the last and most important sentence
in an introduction, and it aims to make the specific topic clear. The
thesis statement also aims to express clearly what the writer wants
to say about the specific topic. It may in some cases list or
summarize the subtopics.

14. Introduction
In the example introduction paragraph in the box below, notice how the ideas
start with a broad focus and become progressively more specific.
• Sentence 1 moves from popular music (broad) to rock music (specific).
• Sentence 2 divides rock music (broad) into smaller categories such as punk
rock (specific).
• Sentences 3 and 4 move from heavy rock (broad) to a particular band, Led
Zeppelin (specific).
It ends with a thesis statement that tells the reader that the essay is about Led
Zeppelin (topic), and it tells the reader that the writer wants to explain the
band's importance (purpose/focus).

15. Introduction
Popular music comes in many forms
and styles and one of the most
enduring is rock music. Within this
genre, there are many sub-categories
such as psychedelic rock, punk rock,
and alternative rock. One of the most
popular of these styles is hard rock,
which is loud, aggressive, and heavily
guitar based. No other band better
exemplifies the virtues of hard rock
than Led Zeppelin. There are a
number of reasons why Led Zeppelin
is arguably not only the most
important hard rock band of all time
but the most important rock band.
