A thesis gives an argument direction.
The idea
State a debatable position and outline the reasons you will support in the essay.
Examples
- Las bibliotecas deberían abrir los domingos porque amplían el acceso y ofrecen un espacio tranquilo.Libraries should open on Sundays because they expand access and offer a quiet space.
- El ayuntamiento debe plantar árboles para dar sombra y reducir el calor en las calles.The council should plant trees to provide shade and reduce heat in the streets.
- La escuela debería ofrecer almuerzos gratuitos, ya que favorecen la igualdad y la concentración.The school should offer free lunches, since they promote equality and concentration.
- Conviene ampliar los carriles bici para mejorar la seguridad y facilitar los desplazamientos.Cycle lanes should be expanded to improve safety and make travel easier.
- El museo debería bajar el precio de entrada para atraer a más público y facilitar el acceso cultural.The museum should lower admission prices to attract more visitors and improve access to culture.
- La ciudad debería recoger el agua de lluvia porque ahorra agua potable y ayuda a regar los parques.The city should collect rainwater because it saves drinking water and helps water parks.
