Ways to Write Compare and Contrast Essay

1. Choose your subject
Remember to choose two different subjects, but still in the same ballpark, to create a meaningful compare and contrast essay.
For example : Europe and Asia
                       Extroverts and Introverts

2. Brainstorm similarities and differences
Make two lists: one list of similarities, and another of differences. If you are a visual person, a Venn diagram can facilitate this process. Simply create two overlapping circles, one for each of the topics that you are comparing. Traits that differ are noted separately, within those that they share are written in the overlapping space. This is a helpful visual aid, because it organizes similarities and differences clearly.

3. Hone in on your main argument
 A good compare-and-contrast essay goes beyond a simple listing of similarities and differences to make a meaningful statement about a larger topic. When you look at the lists you’ve made, what strikes you as significant? What do these similarities and differences say about the topic? That will be your main argument.

4. Fill in supporting evidence
 As you begin to write your essay, back up your assertions with evidence from research, reading, or personal experience. If you are comparing and contrasting cats and dogs, use personal anecdotes about friends and their pets to bolster your arguments. (“My roommate’s dog always greets him when he comes home each day, but my cat never does.”) If you are writing about similarities and differences between the poetry of Shakespeare and Keats, include plenty of quotes from their poems to support your statements. With any information that you include, be sure to explain why it matters in the context of your larger argument.

5. Craft your essay with strong transitional words
Transitional words give your essay a nice flow from one statement to the next. When comparing, use words like “both,” “likewise” and “similarly.” Words such as “nonetheless,” “on the other hand,” and “whereas” are ideal for forming a contrast.

6. Proofread and revise carefully

 Once you have finished, read your essay several times to check spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Make use of spell check and grammar check tools in your word processing program. If possible, get a friend to cast a fresh pair of eyes on it to find mistakes you might have missed. We often have difficulty reading our own work objectively and can miss silly mistakes.

Tips For Writing Argumentative Essays - by Chow Zi Ji

- 18 MAC 2019 -

"Tips For Writing Argumentative Essays"

1. Make a list of the pros and cons of your plan before you start writing. Choose the most important that support your argument (the pros) and the most important to refute (the cons) and focus on them.

2. The argumentative essay has three approaches. Choose the one that you find most effective for your argument. Do you find it better to "sell" your argument first and then present the counter arguments and refute them? Or do you prefer to save the best for last?
 @ Approach 1: Thesis Statement (main argument)
                           Pro idea 1
                           Pro idea 2
                    Con(s) + Refutation(s): these are the opinions of others that you disagree with. you must clearly specify these opinions if you are to refute them convincingly.
                           Conclusion
 @ Approach 2: Thesis Statement:
                           Con(s) + Refutation(s)
                           Pro idea 1
                           Pro idea 2
                           Conclusion
 @ Approach 3: Thesis Statement:
                           Con idea 1 and then your refutation
                           Con idea 2 and then your refutation
                           Con idea 3 and then your refutation
                           Conclusion


3. Use good transition words
 @ While I have shown that... other may say
 @ Opponents of this idea claim/maintain that...
 @ Those who disagree claim that...


4. Use facts, statistics, quotes, and examples to convince your readers of your argument.

Rules Of Writing An Argumentative Essay - by Chow Zi Ji

- 18 MAC 2019 -

            Generally, an argumentative essay is the type of essay where you prove that your opinion, theory or hypothesis about an issue is correct or more truthful than those of others. In short, it is very similar to a persuasive essay, but the difference is that you are arguing for your opinion as opposed to others, rather than directly trying to persuade someone to adopt your point of view.

What are its most important qualities?
1. The argument should be focused on.
2. The argument should be a clear statement.
3. It should be a topic that you can support with solid evidence.
4. Structure your approach well.
5. Use good transition words or phrases.
6. Be aware of your intended audience. How can you win them over?
7. Research your topic so your evidence is convincing.
8. End with a strong conclusion.
