Thesis statement for the outlining.



Assalammualaikum.

I just don't want to delay my work, so everytime I had a class bel I will update blog. It's going to be very busy since this month I will have a test and also a lot of assignment. So, don't procrastinate ! Okay, back to the topics today our lesson about how to write thesis statement for outlining.

Miss Zu was explained to us how to identified and write thesis statement. She was explained one by one based on type of essay. My type of essay is compare and contrast, so we pay attention during the lecture. Eventhough, my type of essay compare-contrast, I still need to know other type of essay. This to make sure, during examination everyone can answer correctly because we don't know what type of essay will come out.

For compare-contrast essay, there are 2 example that we can use.

EXAMPLE 1

 Introduction stating the thesis statement:
Public universities and private universities are different in term of the type of courses offered and the course fees charged but are similar in term of the nature of competitiveness.

supporting point 1, with topic sentence:
type of courses

supporting point 2, with topic sentence:
course fees

supporting point 3, with topic sentence:
nature of competitiveness

Conclusion summarising the main idea or restating the thesis statement:
In conclusion, it falls upon the student to compare the similarities and differences between public universitiy and a private universitiy before deciding which one to go.

EXAMPLE 2

Introduction stating the thesis statement:
When trying to decide where to dine, either at local restaurant or Western restaurant, patrons should consider several aspect that concern these dining places.Some of these aspect include the food selection, the service provided and the ambience of each restaurant.

supporting point 1, with topic sentence:
food selection

supporting point 2, with topic sentence:
service provided

supporting point 3, with topic sentence:
ambience of each restaurant

Conclusion summarising the main idea or restating the thesis statement:
Thus, in order to decide whether to dine at at a local restaurant or at a Western restaurant factors such as the food selection, the service provided and the ambience of the restaurant should be taken into consideration.

Miss Zu want us to write a thesis statement based on these 2 example and we are going to present next week on tuesday. Monday we don't have a class because Miss Zu are going to invigilate an examination for degree students. So, we have a lot of time to do the thesis statement. But, Miss Zu said, "more times means more pressure". Hope we can do better and Miss Zu not reject our thesis statement. Good luck friends! bye :)
