Structure of Argument essays

To write an Argument essay you must first decide if you agree or disagree with the viewpoint in the question. In your essay, you must then present arguments that clearly support your viewpoint.

Let's look at two different ways of structuring the body of an Argument essay.

First, let's look at a typical structure of an Argument essay. It includes:

Introduction:     This is similar to a Discussion essay. You should introduce the topic and give your viewpoint on the issue.
Body:    You should provide 2 or 3 arguments with examples and evidence that support your viewpoint.
Conclusion:     You should write a summary of your argument and strongly restate your viewpoint.

Note that you may wish to briefly include 1 or 2 ideas that oppose your viewpoint. This shows the examiner that you are aware of an opposing argument. Nevertheless, the majority of your essay must present ideas that strongly support your viewpoint.
