Here are some templates that may help you write an effective thesis statement:

● In this composition/essay, I argue that ... because ...

● Although/Even though .......... this composition/essay argues that/I argue/I agree with/I

disagree with ... because ...

● This composition/essay attempts to show that ...

● This composition/essay contests the claim that ...

● This composition/essay argues that ...

● In this essay, I attempt to defend the view that ...
