? Write a comment: The method
An English Comment is a commentary on an
event, usually a thesis. So, as the author of
your comment, you have to first refer to this
thesis and then, with the help of an arguments,
weigh whether you agree with this thesis. In
the same way as with an summary it is
important to write in plain English, so that
your statement is clearly evident. Furthermore,
it is important to remember to write
continuously in the simple present. However,
before you start writing your comment, you
should think about an introduction to your
comment.
English Comment: Introduction
The introduction of an English comment will
first mention the thesis about which your
comment will be based. This is followed by a
rhetorical question for reading, “Is this thesis
correct?”.
An example sentence:
NOWADAYS MANY PEOPLE
THINK/BELIEVE THAT… . IS THAT
RIGHT?
think/believe = Here you can choose what
you like better
… = Is the central thesis about what your
Comment is all about.

English Comment: main part
In the main part of your comment, you should
first name a pro and a contra argument of the
thesis and then say your first opinion. This is
then followed by a few other arguments that
support your initial opinion. You should be
careful to always give a few examples. So that
your arguments are vivid and more powerful.

Comment conclusion
In the final part of your comments, you should
summarize the arguments first, which is the
best way to show your conclusion. In your last
sentence, you have to once again refer to the
thesis mentioned at the beginning in order to
close the arc within your text.
