“鳳頭豹尾”乃文章自古的評(píng)價(jià)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。而好的開(kāi)頭的確能使文章增色不少。那么如何寫(xiě)好文章的開(kāi)頭，或者有了好的想法卻不知道如何下筆開(kāi)始卻是同學(xué)們常見(jiàn)的問(wèn)題。今天，海馬小助手為大家整理了七種不同類型的Essay開(kāi)頭方法，包你以后見(jiàn)招拆招，一通百通。

1、Essay標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型開(kāi)頭
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型的MBA Essay開(kāi)頭涵蓋了以下幾方面內(nèi)容：人物，事件，時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)，原因和形式。這種寫(xiě)法很像新聞寫(xiě)作中的六個(gè)W，它使讀者對(duì)于文章即將涉及哪些內(nèi)容有一個(gè)清晰的印象。其中最標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的就是概括性的開(kāi)頭，而最普通的概括性開(kāi)頭往往就是重復(fù)一遍問(wèn)題： “While I have had many opportunities to serve in the capacity of a leader in both my personal and professional lives, there are two occasions that I feel clearly demonstrate my managerial potential.” “There are two individuals who have deeply shaped my professional thinking.” “My most important cross-cultural experience is related to the fifteen months I spent in Thailand as a teacher of Economics and Business in a Cambodian refugee camp.”
   

2、Essay驚奇型開(kāi)頭
這種開(kāi)頭意在使讀者大吃一驚，從而引發(fā)Essay閱讀者他們的閱讀興趣。如：”Recently, I was trapped on a ledge more than 300 feet above the ground when an unexpected snow storm hit while I was rock climbing.” “During my senior year in college, my father was diagnosed with terminal skin cancer.”
   

3、Essay動(dòng)作型開(kāi)頭
動(dòng)作型開(kāi)頭則一開(kāi)始就把MBA ESSAY的讀者帶入某一行為之中，它尤其適合需要節(jié)省空間的短文章以及用故事作為開(kāi)頭的敘述型/描述型文章。如：”I carried the puck up the left wing and couldn’t find a team-mate as I reached the offensive zone.”
  

 4、Essay領(lǐng)導(dǎo)型開(kāi)頭
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)型的開(kāi)頭在文章的一開(kāi)始就給MBA Essay讀者一個(gè)對(duì)于作者的某個(gè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職能的深刻印象，這對(duì)于MBA申請(qǐng)是很重要的。這類文章旨在展現(xiàn)一個(gè)自信的、目標(biāo)明確的申請(qǐng)人。在使用這類開(kāi)頭的時(shí)候，文章接下來(lái)的內(nèi)容必須十分有力度，以支撐起這一形象。下面舉例的三個(gè)開(kāi)頭出于同一篇文章，分別用于引導(dǎo)三個(gè)部分的內(nèi)容?！盌uring the summer before my senior year, I founded and managed a company that employed five people and grossed twenty thousand dollars.” (第一部分) “In my senior year at Harvard, I led our ECAC champion hockey team in points, becoming the first player to ever begin his career on the J.V. team and finish as the varsity’s leading scorer.” (第二部分) “I paid for the majority of my college education, while achieving Dean’s List every semester, spent forty hours each week participating in a Division 1 athletic program, worked ten to fifteen hours each week to help defray tuition costs, and also maintained a balanced social life.”
   

5、Essay信息型開(kāi)頭
這種開(kāi)頭向讀者傳達(dá)一個(gè)事實(shí)或信息，而這一事實(shí)或者與你的文章的主題有關(guān)，或者傳達(dá)了關(guān)于你的某種信息。”Technological innovation is occurring at an ever-increasing pace.” “Six months ago, my church implemented a new organizational structure in which all the various church functions were consolidated under the responsibility of one of ten different committees.”
    

6、Essay引言式開(kāi)頭
如果你選擇一句引語(yǔ)作為開(kāi)頭，你最好選擇不同尋常的、深?yuàn)W的、有趣的、或者晦澀的引語(yǔ)，而且這個(gè)引語(yǔ)不能太長(zhǎng)。你選擇的引語(yǔ)應(yīng)該包涵你希望向讀者表達(dá)的某個(gè)意思。不要使用諺語(yǔ)或者類似的陳詞濫調(diào)，也不要嘗試在你的文章里對(duì)這句引言作出解釋。錄取委員會(huì)更感興趣的是你如何對(duì)這句諺語(yǔ)作出反應(yīng)，而不是直白的解釋。下面就是一個(gè)引言式開(kāi)頭的示例：”‘It’s in my blood, it’s in my veins, I am the ghost who entertains.’ — Peter Weiss 

7、Essay對(duì)話式開(kāi)頭
這種開(kāi)頭把讀者引入MBA Essay當(dāng)中的一場(chǎng)對(duì)話之中。它可能是真實(shí)的對(duì)話，也可能只是你的想法的一個(gè)小小片斷：”Stop foolin’ around, old boy. How would an MBA help you? Better get on with your career.” “First-rate skiing,  the Winter Carnival, a bucolic setting, Ivy League football, and a great career at the end of it all? Who wouldn’t want a MBA?”

以上幾類開(kāi)頭在essay寫(xiě)作開(kāi)頭中運(yùn)用的非常多，也非常有效果，建議同學(xué)們?cè)谄綍r(shí)練習(xí)essay寫(xiě)作的時(shí)候都注意合理運(yùn)用，多多練習(xí)，運(yùn)用好了能為你的essay增色不少，也能取得滿意的效果。
