The introduction of your essay should describe the problem,event or issue as clearly as possible.Be straightforward.State your thesis clearly and concisely.Make sure that your thesis is appropriate for the guidelines of the assignment.Since the thesis statement drives the rest of the paper,it is important that it can be easily supported with facts.Thesis statements for expository or explanatory essays should not take a position or voice an opinion.
For example,"Consumer electronics have become increasingly popular and culturally important over the past several decades,changing how we communicate,entertain ourselves,and get information — and the speed with which we do so.As the nature,use,and number of
electronic products change over time,patterns of sales,storage,and end-of-life management also change.Waste managers,manufacturers,and policymakers need reliable and current information to inform and improve the management of used electronics."
