Argumentative Essay (BEL260)

Outlining an argumentative essay:



Salam and hi all!
We almost finish the current semester and nw it is the moment to get ready with the final exam. In the final exam, you are required to answer Part A: Reading Comprehension (20%) and Part B: Argumentative essay (20%). There are a few important things to be highlighted in the essay writing. Pls make sure you know how to write:

1) Introduction
-->brief info about your essay + Thesis statement (your stand whether you agree/disagree with the topic given)

2) Content
-->Topic sentence 1 + Supporting details
-->Topic sentence 2 + Supporting details
-->Topic sentence 3 + Supporting details

3) Conclusion

Here are a few examples of topics that can be discussed in class in order for us to brainstorm ideas for an argumentative essay.

1) Public examination should be abolished in Malaysia
2) Men should learn cooking from an early age
3) Valentine Day brings negative effects to teenagers
4) Horror movies harm children's minds
5) Women should stay at home and raise children
6) Domestic violence comes from a broken family
7) Mix-marriage could cultivate race-integrity

Till then, see you next time. Ciao!

  3. 1) Public examination should be abolished in Malaysia
    -yeah i think it's the best due nearly 80% our carrier woulnd be examnation
    2) Men should learn cooking from an early age
    -Truw, myself also do this and i enjoy it well, easy to cook especially carbonara spegetti cheese YUM!
    3) Valentine Day brings negative effects to teenagers
    -True, in history Valentine refer to a lover(man) ccreate that day for his lover that she discriminate Islam, we should abolish it!
    4) Horror movies harm children's minds
    -Plausible, but we can't know the effect except let they know but better let them watch Lite version
    5) Women should stay at home and raise children
    -Very true hahaha, Woman in scientific research that said WOMAN are multi-tasker, they can care child, talk to telephone, watch TV and do homework TOGETHER (sucks for men d-.-b!)
    6) Domestic violence comes from a broken family
    -Plausible, children is like a white cloth, we colour it, depends on enviroment the child live can't fault the parents all da time >.<!
    7) Mix-marriage could cultivate race-integrity
    -i don't pretty understand but it is mix-race-mariage? to me it is can't be done and their marriage will be broken in matter of years, 10 at most. There's lots of same race why need to marry other race -.-
    further more having child from mix race will have 75% chance the child will sterile due to incompatible chromosomes
    but 25% will give the child superior, depends on god that will it d._.b *suckx
