What is an argumentative text?

An argumentative text is one of the most common types of te
characterised by trying to persuade the reader of an idea by
arguments. Writing such a text is a common task in language-lea
is widely used as an assessment tool in official exams. Normall
guidelines have to be followed, although these may change acc
the context. The general features of an argumentative text are:

 It champions a specific position.

 It offers data and arguments to defend that position.
  It takes opposing arguments into account, and discusses the
 It can deal with a wide variety of topics.

How is an argumentative text structured?

The aim of an argumentative text is to put forward a viewpoint c

simply, supported by data and a logical conclusion to back it up. T
follow the structure below:

 Introduction: briefly explain the subject matter dealt with i

and provide the necessary background, so the re
understand your position. The introduction presents the the
is the main idea argued for in the text.
 Body of the argument: this usually consists of three
paragraphs where the reasoning and data that support you
view are outlined. Each paragraph should focus on a diffe
and should begin by clearly establishing the theme you
develop. The opposing arguments that you'll be refuting
included here along with your own, although the order will d
the approach you take.
 Conclusion: this last paragraph should focus on
argumentation underpinning the thesis, synthesizing
important arguments as developed in the preceding pa
Here, you should avoid including new ideas, and instead hig
fundamental points in favor of your argument.

How to write an argumentative text in English

1. Introduction
The introduction should be concise. This is not the time to develo
arguments or contrast different points of view. The main purpose
establish a state of play (a summary of the current situation), wh
us to understand the text without entering into too much detail,
clarifying the subject matter and stance to be taken. Key featur
opening paragraph are:

 Precision
  Brevity
 Effectiveness

In the introduction, you should provoke a reaction from the reade

this be to predispose them towards your argument, generate in
anything else. There are many ways to generate interest in th
from opening your text with a question and its answer (at the sta
to beginning with a specific fact and outlining the reasons
important. There is a wide range of tools that can be useful to ac
desired effect. It is also highly recommendable to use short
sentences when you still haven't mastered the language.

2. First paragraph of the body

The first paragraph sets out the opinion that you're going to try
Although there are other ways to organize an argumentative te
one of the most common. It's important to focus only on the issue
be discussed in the text itself and not to leave any loose ends,
purpose of these opposing arguments is to spark a dialogue with
ideas you intend to develop.
One common approach to outline these ideas is to use conju
opposition such as although or even though. The key to this first p
is to present the arguments in order of priority (and bearing in
they relate to one another) to later discuss them in the same orde

3. The second and subsequent paragraphs

The second paragraph is where arguments presented in the

refuted. If the paragraph is too long or you need new arguments
for your discussion, you can separate it into as many paragraph
need. Here, the important thing is to present the arguments and
you will use to support your opinion.
Any paragraphs following this one should also include arguments
without the need to contrast them with others. Look for new
include in support of your stance, and continue the discussion in
and successive paragraphs. Remember to always follow a logi
maintaining the order of ideas set out previously, connecting
themes to one another and opening new paragraphs for each c
idea.
4. Conclusion and closing

Here, you will need to make another major impact like the o
introduction. Although this time you can write a little more, try to r
reader emotionally and highlight the most important points develo
main body of your text. This is not the place to include new ideas
focus on summarizing and creating the desired effect on the read
your argument is better established and the main points stand
others.

Following a structure is the first step to writing a sound argumenta

an essential practice in the process of learning any new language
English. To properly organize a text, you will need to work on lear
essential vocabulary as well as developing your communication sk
language concerned.
