Writing to give arguments When people write essays explaining their opinion of some fact they often regard it from different angles and offer their praise or criticism, in other words, they give their arguments «for» or «against» it. When you write an argumentative essay you should find some arguments «for» and some arguments «against» the problem under discussion. In your final paragraph you write your «verdict» — what you really think of the problem. Sometimes you support just one point of view. Sometimes you decide that the opposite opinion could be accepted. But very often people have mixed feelings about various situations or facts. Whatever your final solution is you should write it in the last paragraph of your essay. Thus the body of an argumentative essay should have four parts: I. Introduction II. Arguments for the point under discussion III. Arguments against it IV. Conclusion Suppose, your task is to write an essay on the following: «Computers were invented in the middle of the 20th century. Since then some people think they are a blessing while others do not approve of their extensive usage.» I.

B: Still, I would miss cinemas, shops and public transport.
A: You can visit the city when you need it, but living in the country will give you more comfort and less stress.

Writing to give arguments
When people write argumentative essays, they usually consider a problem from different points of view and give arguments for and against it. In the final paragraph they write their conclusion and express their own opinion.
The body of an argumentative essay usually has four parts:
- Introduction
- Arguments for the point under discussion
- Arguments against it
- Conclusion
For example, if you write about computers, you can say that they give people easy access to information, help them work and study, and make life more convenient. On the other hand, computers may reduce face-to-face communication and cause health problems such as eye strain, headaches and insomnia. In the conclusion, you should sum up your ideas and state your opinion.
