THESIS STATEMENT IN TASK 2

By: Ain Nurwindasari

If you would like to write task 2, you will familiar with this phrase "thesis statement". Thesis statement is very important to build essay. Why it is important? Because from thesis statement you begin to expand your idea. So, what is thesis statement?

Thesis statement is statement that consists of topic and two main ideas. It should be located in the first paragraph of essay writing.

For example, you get topic "Our modern lifestyle makes it difficult for us to stay fit and healthy"

If you agree with topic, you may have two main ideas which are:
1. Modern lifestyle makes people lazy
2. Modern lifestyle has some dangerous effeects

So, your thesis statement will be:
Our modern lifestyle makes it difficult for us to stay fit and healthy, because of lazyness and its dangerous effects.

Then, you can expand your two ideas from your thesis statement to each of next paragraph. For instance, first idea (modern lifestyle makes people lazy) you put it in the body paragraph 1, and second idea (modern lifestyle has some dangerous effects) you put it in second body paragraph (paragraph 3).

Is it clear about thesis statement? Any questions please deliver in this comment below.
