Tuesday

Assalamualaikum & Hello

At 8 o'clock in the morning, I went to Amy's house and we did some revision together. We finished our Math homework and our Basic Economic tutorial. Later, we had lunch at Seksyen 7. I didn't remember the restaurant's name but it was somewhere near Jakel building. I had 'Nasi Goreng' and Amy had 'Nasi Kerabu'. Both of us ordered plain water because we wanted to save some money. Haha

The best part of the 'Nasi Goreng' was the 'Keropok'. It tasted really good. So, after Zuhur prayer, We headed to BK22 where we had our class with Madam Norbaiti. Madam Norbaiti was not feeling well that day. She had a sore throat. However, she still continued the class as usual. That's what I loved about her. I loved her sincerity and determination of teaching us. That day, we learned about Thesis Statement and Topic Sentence. We learned some guideline to make a good essay. First, we have to determine the Thesis Statement of the title given. What is a Thesis Statement? Thesis Statement is usually one concise sentence, expresses the purpose or controlling idea of you essay and has several main points that can each be expended into a paragraph. 

 A characteristics of a strong thesis statement are a strong thesis statement takes a stand, a strong thesis statement justifies discussion, a strong thesis statement expresses one main idea and a strong thesis statement is specific. A good thesis statement also must be arguable. The best way to arrive at a thesis statement is to think carefully about your topic, take a stand and work out the best reasons you can find to justify your stand. 

Before the class end, Madam told us to do an essay. Instead of writing a regular essay, we have to do an outline of the essay to see our understanding of the thesis statement. I think all of us will do a better work on writing an essay after this. Thank you.
