4.3 Analysis The teacher shows statements that should be avoided when writing a thesis statement and
how should it be written instead.

Thesis statements avoid the following:

 the first person (I believe, In my opinion, etc.)
 unclear language (It seems, etc.)
 attempting two topics at once (even if they seem related). Pick one and stick
with it.
 just stating a fact - A thesis is something you plan to make an argument about.
A thesis statement should:
5 minutes ✓ contain a topic (main idea of what you are writing about)
✓ contain an opinion about the topic (what your attitude is toward the topic)
Process in WRITING a THESIS STATEMENT
Step 1: TOPIC. State the topic under consideration. (E.g. cats)
Step 2: ISSUE. State the specific issue in the form of a debating proposition (for
something). The issue usually answers the question “what?” What about cats? (E.g.
Cats should be subject to leash laws.)
Step 3: POSITION + RATIONALE (because clause). Your topic and issue = your
position. Now, using a because-clause, e.g. Cats should be subject to leash laws
because they are natural wanderers.

4.6 Assessment
Read the following paragraphs. Write a topic sentence for each paragraph. When you
5 minutes have completed the topic sentences, write one thesis statement that would be
appropriate for an essay on the same topic.

1. _________________________________________________________________
People with good attitudes tend to be more effective problem solvers, and teamplayers
which are the types of people most employers are looking for. Being able to
 see the positive side of a negative situation is a valuable character trait in the
workplace. Positive thinking contributes to more productivity and workplace harmony,
whereas, someone who is negative and complains a lot could affect others with their
negativity and result in less productivity in the workplace, which is why most employers
steer clear of pessimists.

2. _________________________________________________________________
Nothing is more frustrating to an employer than someone who cuts corners or
leaves work incomplete. Employers want to hire people who are not just positive about
doing work, but are willing to put in a bit of extra effort to get the work done. If you can
show an employer that you are willing to break a sweat to get a job done, they will take
you more seriously as a capable candidate for the position you are applying for.

3. _________________________________________________________________
Passion and willingness to work hard can only offer a prospective employer so
much. Unless you can show how your experiences have helped prepare you for the
position you are interviewing for, the employers may decide to go with a candidate
who has completed the appropriate training already. It is costly and time-consuming
to train a new employee, which may make many employers hesitate before hiring lessqualified
applicants.

The teacher asks the students to answer the following on a sheet of paper.

Rewrite the following statements to make the thesis statement clearer that how it is
stated.
1. The government should show concern about mental health.
4.7 Assignment/Agreement
