YEAH! I'm back! But it won't be much interesting, i'm just doing another homework.
I have to write four kind of introduction that include lead-in + the thesis for the subject that I will choose. Mine is #4: Drew Hayden Taylor writes about the myth of pan-Indianism. What myths of stereotypes exist about your culture, gender, or age group? Compare the myths with the reality.
I have to write four kind of introduction that include lead-in + the thesis for the subject that I will choose. Mine is #4: Drew Hayden Taylor writes about the myth of pan-Indianism. What myths of stereotypes exist about your culture, gender, or age group? Compare the myths with the reality.
1- Teens are all on drugs! Well, a lot of adult thinks so. But where does these kind of stereotype comes from? Maybe because where living everyday like it's the last, because we try things without thinking of the consequences or without being totally responsible. Maybe because adults have forgot their own childhood and teenages experiences. So they have to find an excuse to thoses incomprehensible actions. Well, I think that teens should have their chances and that adult should never forget their own memories and crazy stories because maybe they've done worst!
2- I know some friends that went to Europe in a school trip some years ago and they where trying to explain where they come from. Well it was hard to explain when and what Quebec was so they said that they where from Canada and so stereotype come out of the people asking if they where chasing indians and hunting moose. This show them that for a lot of people in the world, thoses who are living in Canada are some old savage or barbarian woodman. We should found some ways to show to the world what we had become.
3- Have you already thought that male where without emotions? It's actually a hard stereotype for my gender. Yes, a lot of them hide their feelings, but actually, this is a rare particularity that every humans have: feelings. And actually to be someone whose really emotional, it's hard to be a guy too. Hiding feeling is not easy and I think that we should change thoses ideas about male and not consider gay of effeminate thoses who don't apply to thoses stereotypes. It's like saying that a guy who shows his emotions is not part of his gender. Everyone on earth is different, it should be the same in gender.
4- Everyday my fathers woke up early in the morning to go hunt some moose, fish some big fish in the river behind my home for dinner and go cut some trees with his axe because he's a proud and barbarian woodman like every canadians. I mean, i'm talking about my father but all men in my neighbourhood and fathers of my friends, everyone are so retarded in civilisation! Are my statement frustrating you? Well actually, it's what a lot of people in the world think when we mentionned Canada to them! It's time to prove to the world what we, Canadians had become.

Everything need - do you see the mistake?
#1 Excellent shocking lead-in. General background? Good.
#2 Good enticing anecdote.
#3 Have you already? Do you see the error? See unit 3 of the grammar book. Good lead-in. You make a common error though: arguing for your thesis in the introduction. Arguments cannot be in the introduction. This intro thus does not follow one of the 4 styles.
#4 You got me! I was shocked. This one's good.
On a grammar note: be careful of verbs. Use present simple 's' in 3rd person. Don't verb tenses we have not seen, like "had given". Be careful of plural 's'. Remember the "everbody/everyone etc." rule.
