Hello NaiveGiganotosaurus! :)

What you find in a text depends on the text type. Is it a Narrative Text, Informational Text or Argumentative Text?

Here are some general information:

Every introduction needs an attention-grabber, also called the hook. The following are some tips and tricks to write a good hook:

1. using a question
2. using a powerful statement 
3. using a quote
4. using an anecdotal story or a personal experience
5. using a current event

For the development, here are some information:

A good paragraph has a basic structure with three main components.

1. A topic sentence: A topic sentence, or key sentence, is the first sentence of a paragraph that prepares the audience for the information to come. Each body paragraph must have its own topic sentence. The topic sentence must tell the reader what to expect in the paragraph.
2. Supporting evidence: Body paragraphs contain information to back up claims with supporting points, examples, research, statistics, studies, and quotes. 
3. After the topic sentence, the rest of the paragraph should contain supporting sentences to back up the main idea. Fill the main body of the essay with a mixture of substance and analysis.
4. A concluding sentence: Briefly summarize the information mentioned before moving on to the next section.

Conclusion:

The conclusion has 2 parts:

• Summarize briefly the things you said in the development part;
• Finish with a final thought
• The final thought is the most important part of the conclusion: it needs to leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Here are some efficient ways to write the final thought:

1. End with a warning or some instructions
2. Ask a relevant or shocking question
3. End with a recommendation
4. End with a powerful statement

Although it was written for students doing the ministry exam, you can still use the different examples to get an idea of what every section of a text looks like.
