Question: There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming and having other undesirable effects on people's health and well-being.
Paraphrase: Rising global temperatures and human health and fitness issues are often viewed as being caused by the expanding use of automobiles.
The synonyms used here are:
- Increasing-expanding
- Car use- use of automobiles
- Global warming- rising global temperatures
- People's health and well-being = human health and fitness
Thesis statement:
This essay agrees that increasing use of motor victuals is contributing to rising global temperatures and certain health issues.
It is always just one sentence long so you will have to practise summing up your opinion in one sentence. It should also address the micro-keywords and not the topic in general.
You should start your thesis statement with:
- This essay agrees that........... or This essay disagrees that..........
(opinion essays).
- The main cause(s) of this issue is ..... ( causes and solutions)
- The principle advantage(s) is .... and the main disadvantage is ....( advantage and disadvantage)
- For a discussion (of two points of view) essay you should state both points of view clearly
- Let's look at another example:
- Some aspects of celebrity culture have a bad influence on young people.
- To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.
- To keep things simple, we have two options-
- agree that some aspects of celebrity culture have a bad influence on young people.
- Disagree that some aspects of celebrity culture have a bad influence on young people.
- This essay will argue that celebrity culture does have a bad influence and my thesis statement will there be:
- This essay agree that some famous people's lifestyles have a detrimental effect on the youth of today.
OUTLINE STATEMENT:
Now that you have paraphrased the question and told the examiner what you think in your thesis sentence, you are now going to tell the examiner what you will discuss in the main body paragraphs. In other words, you will outline what the examiner will read in the rest of the essay. This should be one sentence only.
EXAMPLE:
Question: There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming and having other undesirable effects on people's health and well-being.
Outline statement:
Firstly, this essay will discuss the production of greenhouse gasses by vehicles and secondly, it will discuss other toxic chemicals released by internal combustion engines.
So what we have done is just look at the main body paragraphs and wrote about what they contain. You should have only one main idea per paragraph. In this essay, we have only two main paragraphs, so we only need to say to things in the outline statement.
MAIN BODY PARAGRAPH 1 - Production of greenhouse gases by cars.
MAIN BODY PARAGRAPH 2- Toxic chemical produced by car engines.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:
This essay will first discuss the ( main advantage(s) ) followed by an analysis of the ( main disadvantage(s) ).
