events or places. This text is included in argumentative text because it shows an opinion
(argument) about something. .

3.GENERIC STRUCTURES

 Thesis:
The majority of us admit that we don't have time to exercise. We feel too busy to do that.
However, many experts say that exercise has a big role in making the body healthy.
 Argumentation:
Being physically active offers many benefits. Physically, exercise can help lose weight
and make our bodies fitter. Exercise is also believed to reduce stress levels, improve sleep
patterns, and reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Apart
from the physical benefits, exercise also has a good mental impact. Because the body is
fitter, exercise can make us feel fresh and happy, thereby increasing the quality and
expectancy of life.
How can we exercise when we are busy? We often encounter questions like this.
Actually, exercise can be done in a simple way. We can walk around while shopping. We
can take the stairs instead of the elevator in the office. Or we can cycle while enjoying
our free time.
 Conclusion:
However, doing exercise is difficult in a busy life but a little exercise will help us feel
better
