WHAT IS A THESIS STATEMENT?

Prelims on English was finally over. Every day seems fast. Sooner, we will be having midterms and eventually, finals. First day of meeting, Ma'am told us about the final exam for English II which will be a defense for our term paper. So, now, we're obliged to think for our topic and thesis statement for the preparation of our requirement to pass the subject.

A thesis statement should be a sentence, a complete thought, an idea. It should be clear and specific. It should lead to a paper of an appropriate length. A thesis statement should be supportable. Lastly, it should be interesting and worth writing.

Our requirement is a ten- page term paper connected to our field or course. At first, I really don't know anything about Metallurgical Engineering since this isn't my choice. But because I'm starting to enjoy everything around me, despite the ignorance that lives in me about the course, I stayed. So, it's hard for me thinking for a topic plus structuring a sentence for the thesis statement that it should be expandable. Each of us should be approved by our teacher to start our term paper the soonest. My topic is Metallurgical Engineering jobs abroad. My first thesis statement was rejected because it wasn't right for some reasons. So, the next day, I passed another one and thank God, it was accepted. But actually, my statement was corrected and improved. Well, in spite of it, I was happy because another tiring week had passed.
