The thesis statement is typically located at the end of your opening paragraph. (The opening paragraph serves to set the context for the thesis.) 注意,这里明确的指出了,主题句(thesis statement)必须出现在开头段(opening paragraph)的最后!
It is specific and focused. A strong thesis proves a point without discussing “everything about …” Instead of music, think "American jazz in the 1930s" and your argument about it. (注意,主题不要假,大,空,要具体针对问题!)
•It avoids the first person. ("I believe," "In my opinion") (强烈注意,不要使用第一人称!!!!)
主题句的dos and don’ts

不要说废话,说空话,说大话,不要出现第一人称,不要含糊不清.
