Another way to "warm up" your reader is to begin with a
startling statement.
You are lazy! Many Americans are not taking advantage of the
opportunities to become healthy. When they conclude a typical day, many are very content
to simply sit in front of the television and waste their time by staring at the screen.
This habit becomes intensified over a period of time to the point when many people do not
want to be disturbed while watching television.
Deductive Approach: Thesis Statement
You are lazy! Many Americans are not taking advantage of the
opportunities to become healthy. When they conclude a typical day, many are very content
to simply sit in front of the television and waste their time by staring at the screen.
This habit becomes intensified over a period of time to the point when many people do not
want to be disturbed while watching television. Television is becoming more of a
detriment than an asset.
Inductive Approach: Pivotal Question
You are lazy! Many Americans are not taking advantage of the
opportunities to become healthy. When they conclude a typical day, many are very content
to simply sit in front of the television and waste their time by staring at the screen.
This habit becomes intensified over a period of time to the point when many people do not
want to be disturbed while watching television. Is television becoming more of a
detriment than an assent?
