RELEVANTSTEPS TO OBSERVE WHEN WRITING AN ESSAY:1. TOPICe.g. : Living in Ceilandia- The general idea of the subjectbeing discussed- Its too broad. Its broader than the topicsentence.- It doesnt have to be made of asubject and a verb.- It doesnt have to express anopinion.2. THESIS STATEMENTe.g.: Living in Ceilandia might be very exciting and dangerous, but Ilove it.- Its broader thanthe topic sentence.- It states all themain ideas discussed in all the composition.- Its related to allthe paragraphs.- It usually comes inthe introduction paragraph and in the last sentence.-The thesis statementshould be a statement someone can disagree with.-It should not simpleannounce the topic, but it should express an attitude, an opinion.-It should be acomplete sentence (subject + verb + complement)-It should not be aquestion.-It expresses thecontrolling idea for the whole paragraph.3.
