Sentence prompts are more difficult than question prompts. They can have difficult vocabulary words that are important to understand. Here are some example prompts:

  • Compare and contrast coffee and cola.
  • Analyze the use of color in the painting.
  • Describe your house.
  • Evaluate a restaurant in your neighborhood.

Each of these prompts asks you to write about different information, so it’s very important to understand what the bold words mean.

Compare and contrast

Compare means to talk about what is similar between two things. Contrast means to talk about what is different between two things. For example, if you compare coffee and cola, you could say they are both popular, dark drinks. If you contrast coffee and cola, you could say that usually one is hot and one is cold. Also, one is bitter and one is sweet.

coffee
coca cola

Example thesis

  • Coffee and cola are both similar and different; they are both popular dark drinks, but they have different tastes and temperatures.
