What is a thesis statement?
A thesis statement is one or two sentences, usually at the end of your introduction, that tell the reader exactly what your essay argues or explains. Every body paragraph should support it.
What makes a strong thesis statement?
- It takes a position. "Social media affects teenagers" is a fact. "Schools should teach social media literacy because..." is an argument.
- It is specific. Name the who, what and where instead of talking about "society" or "the world".
- It previews your structure. Two or three reasons give you two or three body sections.
- It can be disagreed with. If nobody could argue against it, it isn't a thesis.
Examples
- Argumentative: Although remote work saves companies money, employers should keep some office days because collaboration, mentoring and company culture all suffer without them.
- Analytical: An analysis of Tesco's pricing strategy shows that it competes on value rather than price, because of its loyalty scheme, own-brand ranges and data-driven promotions.
- Expository: Climate migration can be understood by examining how rising sea levels, crop failure and extreme heat push people to move.

- Where does the thesis statement go?
- Usually as the last sentence or two of your introduction, so the reader knows your argument before the body begins.
- How long should a thesis statement be?
- One sentence for most essays, or two for longer or more complex arguments. If it runs longer, it probably needs focusing.

- Use it as a starting point. Edit the wording so it sounds like you and fits your brief, and check that your evidence actually supports each reason.
