エッセイが上達する秘訣！　Thesis　Statement　とは？

2019年04月10日

▮　Thesis Statement (主題文）とは？

Task　1 総合ライティングでは、リーディングとリスニングを行った後、

ライティングで答えさせる総合問題です

問題は、「レクチャーの内容を要約することと、それがどのように

リーディングの内容と関連しているかを述べる」ように

エッセイ(回答文）を書くことになります。

エッセイは以下の3つの部分から構成されます。

①　Introduction (序論)

②　Body (本論)

③　Conclusion (結論)

そして、①Introduction (序論）を書く上で最も重要なものが

「Thesis　Statement　（ティースィス・ステートメント）」となります。

Thesis　Statementは、エッセイの①Introduction (序論)で中心主題を表現し、

エッセイ全体の論点を明らかにしていきます。

toefl writing 11

▮　Thesis Statementで、エッセイのアウトラインを示す

つまり、Thesis　Statementを読めばエッセイのアウトラインが

わかるようにするのです。

例えば、『生徒が学校に携帯電話を持ってくることについて』

反対か、賛成か意見を述べなさい。

という課題に対し、Introduction (序論）で、「私は生徒が学校に

携帯電話を持ってくることに賛成です」と、書けばいいように思いますが、

これは自分の立場を述べただけで「なぜ賛成なのか」の理由がありません。

評価の高いThesis　Statementを書くには、簡潔に理由を述べて、

「私は生徒が携帯電話を持ってくることに賛成です。

なぜなら携帯電話は緊急の連絡に役に立つこと、セキュリティ上も

親が安心すること、現代生活では必需品になっていること、の3つの理由からです。」

Subtopic 1：緊急時の連絡に役立つこと
Subtopic 2：セキュリティー上、親が安心すること
Subtopic 3 : 現代生活では必需品になっていること

が、エッセイの内容になるというアウトラインがわかるようになっています。

▮　Task 1 　でThesis Statementを書く

TOEFLライティングTask1では、エッセイのIntroduction (序論）部分で、

Thesis　Statementとして、リーディング文章と、リスニングレクチャーについて、

それぞれの「メインアイディア」と「相違点」を書いていきます。

◆　reporting verb と　transition words

リーディング文章と、リスニングレクチャー
それぞれのメインアイディア（言い分）を表現するために「reporting verb」が使われます。

次に、両者の言い分の
相違点を表現するために「transition words」が使われます。

エッセイで重要なThesis　Statementを書くために

「reporting verb」と「transition words」を上手く使うことで加点されます。

Reporting Verbs

Believe think suggest describe

Propose assert tell warn
State say point out explain

Compare (if both ideas support each other)

Like                                   similar to                          also
And                                    similarly                            likewise
In the same way               as                                      agree

Contrast (if both ideas oppose each other)

However on the other hand but
Although in contrast disagree

▮　「reporting verb」と「transition words」を使って書いてみる

それでは、「音楽ダウンロード」を課題としたThesis　Statementでコツを掴んでください。

TOPIC: Music Download

Reading passage Main Idea: It is not a crime to download music

off the web and not pay for it.

Audio Lecture Main Idea: It’s illegal to download music

off the internet without paying.

Restatement of each point of view using Reporting Verbs:

The author thinks that it is not a crime to download music off the web and not pay for it.

The speaker warns that it’s illegal to download music off the internet without paying.

OR

The author states that it is not a crime to download music off the web and not pay for it.

The speaker points out that it’s illegal to download music off the internet without paying.

Thesis Statement using Compare/Contrast Transition Words:

The author believes that it is not a crime to download music off the web and

not pay for it. However, the speaker warns that it’s illegal.

OR

The author states that it is not a crime to download music off the web and

not pay for it. On the other hand, the speaker points out that it’s illegal.

▮　TOEFLテスト形式で練習してみましょう

それでは実際にTOEFLテスト形式で「reporting verb」の練習をしてみましょう。

「reporting verb」を使って、これから読むパッセージとレクチャーの

“メイン・アイディア”を書く練習です。
