Argumentative essay..

What is an argumentative essay..??

The argumentative essay is an essay in which you argue a point to give your own opinion and then try to convince other people you are right with your relevant reasons and examples.


How to write an argumentative essay..??

The simplest way that you can follow is as below:


1) Introduction  : Give background or perhaps an illustrative example to show the topic of your whole essay.
Need to present thesis statement. 


Thesis statement is state your stance is : whether you agree or disagree on the topic.Present your pro-arguments briefly : 2 points.Present your counter-argument (the opposing issue of your argument) : 1 point.



2) Body Paragraph : You will need to write 3 body paragraph (the first 2 body paragraph are for pro-arguments and the last body paragraph is for counter-argument).

~Body paragraph I - pro-argument 1~Body paragraph II - pro-argument 2~Body paragraph III - counter-argument


Present your counter-argument and some explanation of it in the third body paragraph. Then, you need to refute the counter-argument you have presented by giving relevant point.


3) Conclusion : Restart your pro-arguments briefly and also your counter-argument but don't forget to refute it.


***Don't forget to put your topic, audience and the purpose of your argumentative essay.


I will post an example of argumentative essay later... To be continue.... :)
