Introductory Paragraphs - Magazine Articles

The introduction to a magazine article is vital. The introduction to a magazine gives the first impression of what the rest of the piece is going to be like so this needs to be interesting and well written for the reader to want to read on. Creating a good introduction can make the whole text and give people a feel of what type of intro it is going to be and there are 7 types of intro’s you can use.
Identity theft
Shock Horror Intro
Imagine if you were killed because of identity theft. Imagine if you were just innocently getting your weekly grocery shopping online to not even eat any of the products because you’re dead. You have been shopping online for years without even thinking about identity theft, but now receiving emails from retailers you never signed up for. You don’t care though because it’s just junk mail that everyone receives but is it? You could end up dead like old George did because you don’t know the signs of identity theft. George got his home broken into and ended up dying from a stab wound.
Quote Intro
‘A thief could retrieve these applications, fill them out, and get a new credit card in your name.’ Do not give all your details away to sites without knowing the site is secure because all your identity could be stolen if a site is not genuine. So many people make the mistake of doing this and giving their details away to anyone but you could end up one of them unfortunate people that don’t have their identity to themselves anymore.
The quote intro is very good for making it seem like it has other opinions as well as the journalist’s opinion.
Question Intro
Are you the type to sit at home and buy your clothes and give all your details to every website?  Do you want to be the next victim of identity theft?
Many people believe that all sites are safe but it’s not the case. Identity thefts can get your details so easily and quickly if you are not careful. And you don’t want to be their next victim do you?
