How do you start an essay in a way that immediately grabs the reader’s attention?

A strong opening happens when you mix bold ideas with clear purpose. Many students struggle with this because they don’t know how to create that first spark. One helpful approach is learning how to write a hook for an essay, which simply means crafting an opening line that pulls readers in. You can try a surprising fact, a short story, or an interesting question. Keep it simple, make it relevant, and let it smoothly guide the reader into your main point.
