Why You Need to Make the Global Issue Obvious

If the examiner cannot identify the global issue within the first 30 seconds, the introduction is already less effective.
The IO isn’t just “talk about a theme”, it’s explore a global issue and show how the author represents it.
Vague framing loses marks. Clear framing makes the argument sound controlled and deliberate.
Making your global issue obvious helps you:
1. Stay focused and avoid irrelevant commentary.
2. Show off real insight, not just surface-level “vibes”
3. Make the analysis feel purposeful rather than improvised.

Step-by-Step: How to Make the Global Issue Clear

Step 1: Say the global issue clearly at the start.
