Argumentative essay writing that takes a stance on an issue.
What is Argumentative essay?

Very good!
An argumentative essay is a type of essay that
presents arguments about both sides of an issue.
It could be that both sides are presented equally
balanced, or it could be that one side is
presented more forcefully than the other. It all
depends on the writer, and what side he
supports the most. An argumentative essay is usually written in
the five-paragraph structure. The
How does Argumentative essay usually argumentative essay format consists of an
written? introduction, 2-3 body paragraphs, and a
conclusion.

Exactly!
Logically, each of those three sections will have
a unique structure, so understanding them on an
individual level will help ensure a smooth
writing process. The thesis statement is part of
the introduction. It is a concise, one sentence
summary of your main point or claim.

Modal verbs and modal adverbs are used in

writing argumentative essays or text to prove
and to have a strong stand in a position you Argumentative writers maintain a tone of
believed in. fairness and reasonable.
Modal and tones
Tone
what does it mean?

Very good!
Tone is simply the attitude of the author as it
comes across through the word.

Example: The President must change his policy.

(“must” is too strong) The President should
change his policy.

We should control the TONE with MODALS.

Remember that good writers are always aware
of how their arguments sound. Certain words
can help control the tone of the argument.

Modal verbs are often used to make the writer's

claims more or less tentative, i.e. to suggest that
the writer thinks something is more or less
probable. One of the weaknesses of student
essays is making strong claims that cannot be
supported. In these cases, it is useful to be able
to vary the strength of a claim to suit the
circumstances.

D. Generalization
