First & last paragraph techniques First paragraph techniques:
Your first paragraph must attract and maintain your reader's interest. You can achieve this by:
• addressing the reader directly, Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if there were no laws?
• using a quotation/saying/direct speech As the saying goes, 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'.
Last paragraph techniques:
As well as summarising and restating your opinion, a final paragraph may:
• give the reader something to consider, The world would be a much more dangerous place if there weren't any laws.
• end with a saying/quotation As Ann Sanders once said, "The hard way is the right way." Or a rhetorical question Aren't teenagers part of society, after all?
