a) Not neutral. - 3) For discursive essays, you are asked to choose one side of an argument and argue it. This is not IELTS writing where you merely state that some people think one thing, but other people think something different, or that there are advantages and disadvantages to something. You need to declare which side of the argument you are on., b) Not the first sentence of the introduction. - NOTE: This is true of Thesis statements, but there is no corresponding text., c) Focused and not too broad. - 1) It’s important that you do not try to argue a generalised topic in your essay, because you will be unable to analyse and/or evaluate in depth. This will help your reader understand your direction and purpose., d) Able to be supported by evidence. - 4) This can come from theories, existing practice, quotes by other writers, and real-world examples. It is not, however, enough to just put this evidence in your paper. You have to demonstrate to your reader that you understand why this evidence is suitable for your position by analysing and evaluating what you have read, heard, seen, or done. , e) Debatable. - 2) Thesis statements are not statements of fact and they are not descriptions. They must be something that can be argued (this is why discursive essays have argumentation and persuasion at their core). ,
