Part 1 - You need a snappy lead. Use at least 2 of these to make a snappy lead: Create tension with a rhythm of short sentances, referred to as "short staccato," Tell a story, Use dialogue, Describe a setting, Create suspense.
While doing this, appeal to most of, or all of, the 5 senses. Use vivid verbs, figurative language (simile, metaphor, etc.) and make sure the gerneral mood of your piece matches the introduction.

Part 2- Create a transition sentence that transitions you from your snappy lead to your thesis statement. Summarize what happened in your snappy lead or finish up your snappy lead, then transition to an already-written part 2.

Part 3- Your thesis statement. *Note: Only for non-fiction pieces, nottttt stories* If a thesis statment is not required, create a purpose statement. Both are provable, original opinions on your topic which will develop in your paper. This sentence will tell the reader what they will learn by reading this piece. If a thesis statement is required, you will need to repeat the exact same sentence as the clincher sentence of your conclusion. If it is not, there is no need to repeat your purpose sentence in your conclusion.

Good luck =)

I can give you help with writing an essay no problem as I write articles, columns and other things regularly having taken journalism instruction.

None of us on Advicenators can help you write anything including an introduction, an attention grabbing lead or even how to start without knowing your subject of the essay, points you need to make etc.

Leads, second paragraphs, conclusions aren't something we can teach you to write without knowing what the essay is about because the organization and writing of those things differs each and every essay.

If i see what you are supposed to write about I can easily help you structure it and provide tips to follow but I must warn cannot help you write it after doing that as the teacher wants your opinion and writing style to shine through.

I know you know that but a lot of people ask us for help with homework and expect us to generate all the answers and not learn it and execute it themselves.
