I always experienced hard time in starting a new essay. I remember myself starting all my three papers with some banal sentences or obvious facts. But after the class in computer lab where we were introduced 4 types of effective introductions, I was so much excited and wished I have those sample introductions earlier instead of puzzling over a long time on how to start this or that essay. I will certainly incorporate writing techniques, templates and effective introductions we have learned so far in my future paper assignments. I still have to work on myself in both my critical readings and writing skills. I will continue to read and write for the duration of my life, improving upon and strengthening those skills I have developed and shaped thus far.
