THESIS LED ESSAY
The thesis-led essay is different.
You are a lawyer
, not a judge.
You are not looking at
both sides. You are only looking at one side
. Likewise,
give the reader the context of the
background
. The first sentence of these essays (argument led and thesis led)
could look
exactly the same. But
where it is different in the thesis led is that
we need a personal
opinion
. We need to know that you’ve already made a decision about what you think.
Can you give the reader an impersonal opinion? Can you give one? Yes, you can, but
you have to
make sure that you will give me a personal opinion
. So it is ok for you to
say
“some people think going abroad brings advantages. However, I believe that it
causes a lot of problems.”
Then, what do you do?
Body paragraphs will be a little bit different
. In an argument led,
you will have 2 paragraphs. One is about advantages, the other one might be about
disadvantages. If we talk about the advantages of studying abroad, we might talk about
education, we can talk about new cultures, and we can talk about the chance to be more
mature. You can talk all of those in one body paragraph in an argument led. However,
in
a thesis led,
each one of these is going to become
a supportive paragraph
,
a smaller
paragraph
but a supportive paragraph
. So, a little bit different. You might see
one
introduction paragraph, two body paragraphs, and one conclusion paragraph.
Conclusion:
rephrases, paraphrase yourself. Rephrase and summarize your points.
“In conclusion, going abroad is becoming very popular. I think it’s a good idea for
children to go overseas because it increases the chances of getting a better
education, gain access to different cultures, and becoming more mature.”
