What is an argumentative text?

An argumentative text is one of the most common types of text and is

characterized by trying to persuade the reader of an idea by providing arguments.
Writing such a text is a common task in language-learning, and is widely used as an
assessment tool in official exams.

Structural elements of an argumentative text

The introduction or sometimes also called exposition usually introduces the

problem and gives necessary background information. This part also contains the
thesis statement or the claim which states the position of the writer about a particular
topic or issue. The thesis statement is usually the last sentence of the introduction. A
thesis statement contains the topic, your position on the topic and your reasons for
taking that position.
The body is the part of the argumentative text where you work on your
arguments. It presents your reasons about your stated position. Every reason is
usually the topic sentence in each paragraph which is backed up with evidences in
the form of examples, statistics, personal experiences or quotations. You can have 2-
3 strong arguments in your body. You may also add a paragraph to discredit
opposing Arguments or counterclaim. This part is called refutation which you also
need to back up with evidences.
The conclusion is found in the final paragraph of an argumentative text. It
restates the position and gives one or two general statements to summarize the
arguments which support the main claim.
