When you write your thesis statement (informational articles) or your claim (argumentation), use the third person point of view to communicate your ideas formally and logically. Here are three tips for writing your thesis and claim in the correct point of view: Your thesis is your idea about the topic, but you will not write I think that or I believe that. NO: I believe that laws against whale hunting will save the marine ecosystem. YES: Laws against whale hunting will save the marine ecosystem. Do not refer directly to your article. Do not write In this article, I will… NO: In this article I will show that cyberbullying should be a crime punishable by law. YES: Cyberbullying should be a crime punishable by law. Do not write directly to the reader in the second person point of view. NO: You need to know that technology has changed the way we build friendships. YES: New technology has changed the way people build friendships. Sometimes you can replace the word you with a word like one: NO: You should never disturb a hornet nest.
