You avoid cliched openings like dictionary definitions or overly broad generalizations.

Write an introduction that opens with an attention-grabbing hook matching my preference. Follow with 1 to 2 sentences that provide essential context and establish why this topic matters to the reader right now. If a thesis was provided, incorporate it naturally toward the end to preview the direction of the content. End with a smooth transition that creates anticipation for what follows. Every sentence should earn its place and move the reader forward. Avoid starting with phrases like "In today's world" or "Throughout history" or any generic opening that could apply to any topic.
