想要写好MBA essay的开头，就要掌握七大essay标准开头，分别是标准型开头、惊奇型开头、动作型开头、领导型开头、信息型开头、引言式开头、对话式开头，如果你的文章根据内容分成几个部分，那么你最好为每个部分写一个有效的开头。

　　标准型开头

　　标准型的开头涵盖了以下几方面内容：人物，事件，时间，地点，原因和形式。这种写法很像新闻写作中的六个W，它使读者对于文章即将涉及哪些内容有一个清晰的印象。其中最标准的就是概括性的开头，而最普通的概括性开头往往就是重复一遍问题： "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 andBusinessin a Cambodian rugee camp."

　　惊奇型开头

　　这种MBA essay开头意在使读者大吃一惊，从而引发他们的阅读兴趣。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."

　　动作型开头

　　动作型开头则一开始就把读者带入某一行为之中，它尤其适合需要节省空间的短文章以及用故事作为开头的叙述型/描述型文章。如：

　　"I carried the puck up the lt wing and couldn&apost find a team-mate as I reached the offensive zone."

　　领导型开头

　　领导型的开头在MBA essay的一开始就给读者一个对于作者的某个领导职能的深刻印象。这类文章旨在展现一个自信的、目标明确的申请人。在使用这类开头的时候，文章接下来的内容必须十分有力度，以支撑起这一形象。下面举例的三个开头出于同一篇文章，分别用于引导三个部分的内容。

　　"During the summer bore 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 atHarvard, 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&aposs leading scorer." (第二部分) "I paid for the majority of my college education, while achieving Dean&aposs List every semester, spent forty hours each week participating in a Division 1 athletic program, worked ten to fifteen hours each week to help dray tuition costs, and also maintained a balanced social life." (第三部分)

　　信息型开头

　　这种开头向读者传达一个事实或信息，而这一事实或者与你的文章的主题有关，或者传达了关于你的某种信息：

　　"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."

　　引言式开头

　　如果你选择一句引语作为开头，你最好选择不同寻常的、深奥的、有趣的、或者晦涩的引语，而且这个引语不能太长。你选择的引语应该包涵你希望向读者表达的某个意思。不要使用谚语或者类似的陈词滥调，也不要尝试在你的文章里对这句引言作出解释。录取委员会更感兴趣的是你如何对这句谚语作出反应，而不是直白的解释。下面就是一个引言式开头的示例：

　　"&aposIt&aposs in my blood, it&aposs in my veins, I am the ghost who entertains.&apos -- Peter Weiss, Wie dem Herrn Mockinpott das Leiden ausgetrieben wird"

　　对话式开头

　　这种MBA essay开头把读者引入一场对话当中。它可能是真实的对话，也可能只是你的想法的一个小小片断：

　　"Stop foolin&apos around, old boy. How would anMBAhelp 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&apost want a Tuck MBA?"

　　以上就是MBA essay的七大标准开头，开头之所以如此重要，是因为它是你的essay主旨的体现，有时候一个好的开头能吸引人读者的注意力，从而为你的essay增彩不少。所以大家一定要重视MBA essay开头的写法。
