What type of essay are you writing?
What type of writing style and tone will you need to use?
Who is your intended audience?
What kind of structure do you need to establish?
你的文章／论文是什么类型？
你将会使用何种写作方法和笔调？
你的潜在读者是谁？
你需要建立怎样的框架？

开头写作的一些参考
Anecdote
轶事，趣闻
用轶事趣闻做开头并不意味着，你的文章一定要是搞笑的。 一点点幽默可以帮助你抓住读者的注意力，引起他们对于话题的兴趣。
A bit of humor can help you grab readers’ attention and spark their interest in the topic.
Examples:
“As my cousin and I pedaled our new bikes to the beach, 6 years old, suntanned and young, we met an old, shaggy-haired man weaving unsteadily on a battered old bike.”
“When I was a young boy, my father worked at a coal mine. For 27 years, he made it his occupation to scrape and claw and grunt his way into the bowels of the earth, searching for fuel. On April 19, 2004, the bowels of the earth clawed back.”
Quotes from Famous People
引用名言
引经据典也是我们汉语写作的常用手法。“引用”会使读者感兴趣，有时因为它说了什么，有时因为它是谁说的，或者二者兼而有之。
你可以引用与文章内容契合度高的至理名言或者是诙谐幽默的警句。名人的话听上去往往更有权威，所以记得注明出处很关键！
Examples:
“John Wooden once said, ‘Never mistake activity for achievement.'”
“Learn to laugh” were the first words from my kindergarten teacher after Ralph Thorsen spilled paint on my daffodil picture.
Pose a Question
提出问题
针对文章想要表达的内容，提出能引发读者思考的问题。提出需要答案的问题，使读者想去探寻其原因。
但是不要提问“Yes” or “No” questions 并且问题最好可以引发读者的批判性思考 critical thinking.
Examples:
“What would you do if you could play God for a day? That’s exactly what the leaders of the tiny island nation of Guam tried to answer.”
“Have you ever wondered, whether Anna Karenina still loved Alexei if she hadn’t decided to commit a suicide?”
Set a Scene
描绘情景
开篇可以描述一幅画面，它可以是有趣的、优美的，也可以是神秘的。尽量使用细节性词汇，用文字描述你正在创建的场景、营造气氛，令读者产生画面感并身临其境。
Examples:
“The day of his birth began with Hurricane Charlie pounding at our door in Charleston, South Carolina.”
“Deciding to attend Hampton Roads Academy, a private school, was one of my most difficult decisions.
你可以用与视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉五感相关的词汇；
可以用形容词和副词描绘事情如何发生的，或其品质如何；
还可以用夸张、拟人、比喻的手法创建图像。
State Your Thesis
直接阐述论点
开门见山，这没什么不好的。特别是一些有趣的观点。
Start with your main argument and use the rest of your essay to support your point of view.
Examples:
“It is time, at last, to speak the truth about Thanksgiving, and the truth is this. Thanksgiving is really not such a terrific holiday. . .”
“Humans need to invest more time and money into space exploration because Earth is on a certain path to destruction.”
surprising the reader
制造惊讶
一个出乎意料、有趣的事实往往能快速引起读者的兴趣，是non-fiction类写作中非常实用的方法之一。
Examples:
“Spain, though hardly a literary juggernaut, translates more books in one year than the entire Arab world has in the past one thousand years.”
A cat has over 30 muscles in each ear.
Reveal a Common Misconception
揭示一个普遍误解
一般来说能让读者学到一点东西的文章是最好的。 如果告诉大家，平时我们所认为的事情，其实是错误的，读者肯定会读下去。
Examples:
“While most coffee enthusiasts would tell you that their favorite drink comes from a bean, they would be wrong. Coffee is actually made from a seed that is simply called a bean.”
Statistics
数据罗列
用数据说话，是最有说服力的方式。
Examples:
“The average iceberg weighs over 100,000 metric tons.”
“70% of all jobs found today were got through different networking strategies”
根据你写作／论文的不同类型 （叙述性写作，说服性写作，个人写作，批判性， 议论性，演绎性.... ) ，所需要的开头均不同。
Depending on the style of essay you are writing (narrative, persuasive, personal, critical, argumentative, deductive, etc.), the type of hook you will want to use will vary.
但是好的开头只是冰山一角，并不是文章的全部。 在开始写作论文或者文章的hook之前，一定要组织所需要做的调研research，并且列出写作大纲。好的开头会让你的文章有趣并且值得一读。
Remember, your essay hook is just a tip of an iceberg and it will not guarantee that the rest of your essay will work. Be sure toorganize your researchand start with an outline before deciding on the best hook to start your essay. The right choice can make your paper truly interesting and worth reading.

英语词汇量的重要性，想必每个学习英语的人都有深刻的体会。词汇量小，在UKiset创意写作中无法达到“用词多样化”的评分标准；而词汇量的积累并非一朝一夕之功。那么有没有短时间突破的技巧呢？
