One function of the introduction is to identify the question. It is important not to repeat the
same wording so you need to rephrase the question. There are a variety of techniques
available here:
• synonyms
• words in the same family
• related words

The most obvious way to avoid repeating the wording of the question is to find synonyms.
Note, however, that synonyms may mean the same thing and that they may be a phrase
and not just one word
Sometimes there are no very good synonyms. Here you can vary the language by
changing the form of the word from verb to noun for example.
Related words
Sometimes it helps to brainstorm words that are related to words in the question to help
you rephrase its meaning
traffic→roads→streets
pollution→exhaust fumes→air pollution→noise pollution
Specialist words
It is important to note that there are frequently some words in the question that are so
specialised that there may be no other natural way to express the idea. In this case it is
generally best not to try and change those words.

A possible introduction
One very common issue in the modern world is the increasing amount of traffic in urban
areas and city centres in particular. This has led to demands for ring roads to be
constructed to reduce both traffic jams and air pollution. This essay examines whether this
would solve the problem or create more difficulties.
