        • \n 3.<\/span>\n Thesis statement<\/strong>\n : state your position and (optionally) signpost your main points.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n

          \ud83d\udeab Pitfalls to avoid<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Copying the task wording: always paraphrase.<\/li>\n
          • Vague or neutral thesis: make your position clear.<\/li>\n
          • Overlong background: keep it to one concise sentence.<\/li>\n
          • Formulaic openers like \u201cThis essay will discuss\u2026\u201d: use precise, direct language instead.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
