sports date back thousands of years abd it also holds the world together. when we think of sports,we tend to think about the olympics and the fifa world cup.however, many a times,peole tend to fail to see the link on how sports play an important part in our lives. when we think about ports, advantages such as the economy benefits and the health benefits are immmediately brought up.as we can see, engaging in sports holds multiple benefits.sadly,there are always two sides to every coin. we must not neglect the disadvantages that comes together with sports too.

Hi,

Note that each sentence must start with a capital letter. Yours do not, so they are hard to read.

Basically, a thesis is an interesting comment or proposal about the topic, and the rest of your essay then tries to prove that it is true.
A thesis is normally in the form of one clear sentence. Yours is not. It needs to be.

Hi,

You have made a good attempt.

However I have noted several issues that you need to address. The first is grammar since the work contains several grammar mistakes and typos (abd >> and, ports >> sports). Secondly you need to punctuate your sentences and exercise correct use of capital letters and punctuation.

In order to write up a proper thesis statement you must ask yourself what the key question of your study is. This is because a thesis statement must attempt to answer the key question of the study.

I tend to feel that your thesis statement lacks clear direction and does not tell us what your essay is about.

In addition to this there are too many ideas in the statement and it seems as if you have not yet outlined the aims and objectives of your work.

I think a quick review would definitely do you good.

hi, after reading your comment, i would like to clarify some issues. Firstly, this essay is on both the advantages and disadvantages of sports. Thus, my question would be, how to write a thesis statement which touches on all the point i would be mentioning. In addition, for this essay, im am to focus on both the up and down sides of sports(unlike other essay question like why is nurture important to us-with only focuses on one main point). Hope you understand my concern so please help or guide me to writing a good yet relevent statement.

How to think of a thesis statement to write about if the essay does not focus one just one main point? The topic of my essay is the advantages and disadvantages of sports. As you can see, it branches out to many different points-good and bad. Thus, i am having a diificult time choosing a good thesis statement to start of with. Hope you understand.

No, that just branches once: one paragraph for advantages and one paragraph for disadvantages. Your thesis statement would read something like this:

Engaging in sports can cause injury and use time that might be better spent studying, but it also keeps you healthy and prepares you for competition in life.
