Today, we learn about writing. An essay is divided into three main sections:
introduction, body, conclusion... The contents of an expository essay can be written in the following order:

  • Chronological

WRITING THESIS STATEMENT.
The thesis statement is a sentence in the introductory paragraph which summarises the whole essay.

A thesis statement is a complete sentence that contains one main idea. This idea controls the content of the entire essay. A thesis statement that contains subpoints also helps a reader know how the essay will be organized. Look at the introductory paragraph below.
