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.
