IELTS Writing Task 2 – Introduction Paragraph Tips and Samples

An introduction paragraph is an important part in an essay. In this paragraph, you must present your position. Besides, you must not repeat the question but paraphrase them. The first paragraph should also be a stand point for your essay.
In this article, I give some examples for an introduction paragraph.

Question 1:

Sample answer:
     The great population growth is one of the problems in many countries with no exception for Indonesia because it impact to the level of wealth and education of their citizens. Because of that, many countries have tried to control it and people thought that China is one of the successful countries on controlling their population. They made a policy that asked their citizen have one child in a family. China thought that the policy was good way to solve the poverty problem.
