Argumentative Essay

Alternativer Bildtext:

reader what the topic is 3) Tell your Reader why the topic is important 2. Body/Main part: Here you have two opinions. You can either present two or even more different views on the topic (dialectic approach) or you can list several points in connection with the topic (enumerative approach). - If you choose the dialectical approach, you can either present the negative point first and then the positive, or the negative and positive point alternately. You can arrange the point according to their importance, from the weakest to the strongest or the other way round. - For the enumerative approach you don't divide the point into positive and negative aspects, they are presented neutral. - Whichever approach you use, each point should be presented in a separate paragraph. The first sestence states the point you want to make and the following sentences support this point with evidence (example, statistics, etc.). - If you want to persuade someone, it helps to use logic, good examples and good style. - You can write about how the problem started, who is affected by it, how serious it is, what has been done about it so far, what can be expected if there is no solution, and so on. 3. Conclusion: The presentation of your arguments should lead to a conclusion, in which you give a summary of what you have written. You should not introduce any new ideas here but you can give an outlook on further consequences.. - If you have not written a persuasive essay you can give your own opinion (a comment) and appeal to the readers to reach their own conclusion.
