15、 an argumentative essay. An argumentative essay presents an argument backed by well researched and articulated views to persuade the reader or an opposition side.An argumentative essay should ordinarily contain three parts: the introduction, the body and the conclusion. The length and the detail of
16、the parts, obviously, will depend on the assignment, the media or even the audience it is directed to. A newspaper article, for instance, will have to consider the size of the space given and the readership, while a college paper will be assigned a certain number of words. The introduction should ha
17、ve a brief explanation of the topic, some background information and a thesis statement. In this case, the thesis statement will be a statement of the writers position on the topic being discussed.In the body of the essay, the writer will present both sides of the controversy. Thus the body of the e
18、ssay should contain all the arguments in detail, on both sides of the coin. A fair argument presents the strongest points for the counter-side of the issue being discussed. This is followed by a well-presented counter-argument that neatly shoots down each point raised. After this presentation, the p
19、osition of the writer is described, supported with evidence to show why it is the correct position to take.In the conclusion, the writers position is restated as the most convincing one to take, of course the data, sources and how well it is presented should be helpful in winning the reader to his s
20、ide of the argument.When you are assigned an argumentative essay it does not have to he a daunting task. Break up the work into several tasks and never delay. Try not to do the entire essay in a single day. Use the following steps as a guide, take your time, and you will have success.1. Choose your
21、topic. Your instructor may have a preselected list of topics for you to choose from. This will help narrow down your search. Choose a topic that you are already familiar with if you can. Also, chose something that you are interested in researching. It will make the process much more enjoyable.2. Fin
22、d a question or point to argue within your topic. Be sure that there will be plenty of sources that you can refer to for research. If it is a very unusual or weak argument, you will not find enough evidence to back up your claim.3. Once you have chosen your topic and argument, it is time to research
23、. Spend plenty of time scouring your schools library, as well as your public library. Do NOT rely solely on internet sources, and if you do use the internet, be sure that your sources are reliable. Find your evidence from not only secondary sources, but from primary sources as well. These include do
24、cuments such as letters, newspaper articles, and government papers. You want to back up your argument with variety of rich and reliable sources.4. Go through your research. Take notes, or make cue cards, each with one point, or one quotation. Try to be very organized so that things are simple and ea
25、sy to access once you start writing your paper. Be sure to choose 5 or 6 of the strongest pieces of evidence that hack up your argument. There is no need to overload your paper. If you have several convincing points backing you up (as opposed to 15 weaker points), then stick with them and expand.5.
26、Write an outline of your paper. The basic outline is very simpleintroduction, body, and conclusion. Sketch out your paper, and put in point form what you want to say in each paragraph.6. Write your paper! Begin with a strong and clear opening sentence that catches the interest of your reader. Presen
27、t what you are arguing, and give the reader a taste of what your paper is about. It is very important that your thesis statement (argument) is very clear and is written in a single sentence, preferably as the first or the final sentence of the introductory paragraph. The body of your paper should be
28、 several paragraphs. Each paragraph should present evidence that supports the argument. Once you feel you have covered the most important points and have fully argued the thesis, then move on to your conclusion. The conclusion is a brief summary of your paper and should reiterate your argument.7. Pa
29、y attention to the details! All the little things will not only have an impact on your grade, but they will also have an effect on your success and authority as an essay writer. A well written and researched essay must include great attention to detail. If you have any questions or problems while wr
30、iting your paper, be sure to talk to your instructor. They are a very reliable source that can help you get on track. Once you have polished and perfected your essay, then hand it in with pride, and expect positive results.Ok, here are several steps you can follow to write an argumentative essay, fr

34、n a while.9 Well, Good Housekeeping Magazine has some advice on how you can stop wasting time and get it all done. And here with several top tips, is Carolyn Forte. Good morning!W: Good morning, Hoda, nice to be here!M: You know, a lot of us spend time looking for things in the morning. Its the glas
35、ses; its the keys; and you never know when it comes out the next time.W: Yeah, I have those similar experiences.M: What are the biggest mistakes we made when it comes to that?W: And to speak to what youre saying, I think the best way to handle it is being organized. When youre disorganized, you dont
36、 know where things are, youre searching from drawers, through closets, trying to find the thing that didnt go back where it belongs. So if you can stay your belongings organized, you can really save some time.M: All right. Lets start saving time right this minute. OK?W: Okay.M: Your No. 1 tip here i
37、s bank online. Now some people are afraid to do it, but you say, its something smart.W: Yeah, it is very safe. And we certainly recommend that you use your own banks website. So go to the bank, talk to the consumer service representatives there. If you have some questions about how to do it, how saf
38、e it is, its the best way to find out how safe it is.M: And how much time do you think you saved, Carolyn, by doing that?W: You know, if you can write in a lot of checks, if youre making transfers, checking your statements, you can save 30 minutes, even up to an hour.M: Surely its a big amount of ti
39、me. Then the second tip is online grocers. Now, thats really not common for everyone, but you actually go grocery shopping online.W: Thats exactly what you should do. And of course, if you are the type of person that wants to read every label and look at every piece of fruit, its probably not suitab
40、le for you. But, you know, if you want to give up a little control, you can definitely save some time.M: And whats the good strategy if you decide to shop online?W: What I would suggest is especially starting out, that is, doing the staples online. The brands that you use all the time, the paper pro
41、ducts, the cleaning products, the cereals, get that online and then go to the store for the meats in the produce.M: Now for those who are big-library people who like the library, you say theyd better reserve the book basically and go online first before they actually make the trip out to the library
42、. W: Thats exactly right. Check the librarys website. You can reserve books rather than make a trip and find out they dont have the book that you want. You can put it in order and they will call you and let you know when its in and then you go and get it.M: Well, the fourth tip. I like it a lot beca
43、use I travel a lot. It is printing your boarding pass before you go to the airport. That is so smart, right?W: Really, its really amazing, especially that you dont have to check luggage. Because if you have to check luggage its going to take you a little time. But if youre just carrying on, you skip
44、 those chaos and go right to the gate.M: Thats brilliant. Now for those of us who are always looking for the same phone number, I know Im like this. I leaf through the phone book, I find the phone number, I call it, I shut the phone book, and then the next week Im going to use that same number. What
45、s the good way to keep track of those things?W: Highlight it. You know, just do it in a bright color, so it jumps out to you if its something that you use often and organize your phone book. Thats really important. No more napkins and envelope flaps and old Christmas cards and phone numbers. Do it n
46、icely and you will find things quicker.M: And lastly, you also say its a good idea to store scissors in every single room in case you will wrap presents, and do such things.W: Right, youll always have a thread you have to clip, a tag you have to take off, a little brush, and you know, right at the front door before you go out, make it look great.M: You are so smart. I feel like we have saved time today. Carolyn Forte, thank you so much.W: Thank you!M: We really appreciate your time.W: You are welcome.(2
