      Hi, love your videos and I'm just wondering if my thesis statement is on the right path. If you wouldn't mind😅, the effects of gadgets on students in Grade 10 can either be positive or negative, depending of the individual

      @@lojieabellana6344 Great! Just a couple of grammar mistakes. Here is my correction: The effects of gadgets on students in 10th grade can either be positive or negative, depending on the individual.
      This thesis shows that you will discuss how the effects of gadgets can be both positive and negative and will show how that can differ depending on the person.

    Calling this a “video” would be an understatement. I think this qualifies as an entire academic writing class. Thanks for sharing your experience, Jenna. You really seemed in your element. For a moment, I had a flashback to when I was attending one of these classes at university. There’s a world of difference between the teachers, though.😉
    Now I’m finished, but it’s always a good idea to brush up on those topics.

    The question is Do technologies have a positive or negative effect on personal safety?

    Is my thesis statement correct? Check my positive examples below and tell
    Thesis: The positive effects of technologies on personal safety are best for the following examples:machines, communication and ppe.

    • @LearnAcademicEnglish
      @LearnAcademicEnglish  2 роки тому

      It is OK, but a better thesis would list the positive effects. What are the positive effects that you're going to discuss in your essay? Another option is to leave the key points out of the thesis. For instance: Technologies have a positive effect on personal safety.

      That depends on what your essay is supposed to discuss. What do you want to reader to know? Once you know that, you can write your thesis statement.
      Look at your assignment and look for a question that you are supposed to answer. Try to see what the different parts of your essay are supposed to do. Are you analyzing a music video? Explaining why a music video is your favorite?

I think there's a service that produces captions. After you get them back, you would need to comb through them to catch the glitch here or there. Get a graduate student or senior English major to help; offer independent study. Students are looking to build their resumes.

      Yes, but it depends on the writing assignment. If you need to write a full essay, the thesis statement comes at the end of the introduction. That means that the introduction paragraph contains a hook to catch the reader’s attention and some background information and finally ends with the thesis statement at the end of the introduction paragraph

      You're right, you should not write the thesis statement as a question. However, you should make a question that you keep for yourself as the question that you are trying to answer. The answer to that question is the thesis statement.
      For example: What are the reasons that people should have a pet? People should have a pet for the following reasons: companionship, exercise, and ...
      The question helps you focus on what you are trying to accomplish in the essay. The answer to the question is your thesis statement.
