다름이 아니오라, 제가 기억하고 있는 intro 글의 순서와 conclusion 글의 순서가 맞는지 확인차 이 질문을 올립니다.


introduction (3-4 sentences):

- background information (1 sentence: hook)

- article name, author's name, main argument (1 sentence: purpose of author)

- rhetorical strategies used (1 sentence: list 3 rhetorical techniques you will discuss in each body paragraph)

- intended effect to readers (1-2 sentences: how are readers persuaded by such device/tone/diction?)


e.g. The concurrent problem of (some issue such as environmental pollution) has its roots on (for example, conventional industrialization without proper protection laws) but it is often ignored. In the (title of article), author (name of author) laments the situation, claiming that (main argument provided in the prompt). In doing so, the author utilizes several rhetorical and literary techniques--including (rhetorical device 1,2, and 3)--to persuade the readers. The author effectively dismisses possible counterarguments by (presenting illustrative anecdotes, informative and authoritative tone, ...), allowing readers ponder over the issue and subsequently peruse the article.  


conclusion (2-3 sentences):

- paraphrase the purpose of author (to communicate the main argument) and the rhetorical devices used to achieve such effect (1 sentence)

- pinpoint one or two rhetorical devices that stood out the most, and mention their overarching effect in the passage (1-2 sentences: effect being such as "spurs readers into action," "let readers sympathize the writer's cause," "make readers believe in the author")


e.g. In hopes of convincing the readers that (main argument), the author implements (rhetorical device 1,2, and 3). They effectively establish the tone of optimism and inform the readers about the danger of current problem, which spurs them into action. 


이렇게 하는게 맞는지요? 제가 지금까지 이해하고 있는 내용에 대해 아낌없는 가감을 부탁드립니다. 


자세히 답변해 주심에 늘 감사드립니다.

위에 정리한 방법이 정석 입니다. 

 

좀더 스타일 있게 쓸수도 있겠지만 그건 교실에서 내주는 숙제나 쓸때 하는것이고 

시험 치룰때는 안전하게 가야 만점을 받을수 있으니 저런 순서로 글을 쓴다면 아무런 문제가 없을것입니다. 

 

단 Intro 를 쓸때는 첫문장때부터 좋은 인상을 줘야 하기 때문에 

가급적이면 좋은 단어 한두개 넣어서 academic 한 느낌으로 쓰는것을 추천합니다.
