"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.
