in this video, I'm going to suggest a few different starters for your argument essay.

If you find this video helpful, please leave alike and form or tutorial videos like this one.

I'll silence dot com for feedback on your writing or speaking joined us at the community at isles network dot com.

So in this video, we're going to look at a typical argument, s a structure and go through each of the different areas of the structure.

And and I'm going to suggest a little ways that you can start the different sentences in these in these different paragraphs says, You know, your argument essay will typically have four paragraphs.

You're gonna have some kind of introduction paragraph to supporting paragraphs and finally, a conclusion.

You need to progress through four different stages, the first being to give some sort of background, and you do that in the background sentence, and then you narrow it further with the detailed background sentence in this lead you into your position or a declaration of purpose for the essay, and that occurs in the third sentence, and finally you're going to share an outline for the way that the essay is gonna progress.

So sort of a just a declaration of, of the ideas that you're going to use to support your position.

So the opening sentence, you want to be a bit broad, you're trying to entice the reader.

You're trying to interest them, and you might start the sentence with something like in many parts of the world.

Or perhaps, um, it is common today and please, no toe the commas I'm conscious of including these are not including them.

Okay, so if you see it is common today, that would not be followed by a comma.

Um, maybe many people today feel okay, So just sort of, Ah, an opening statement that's quite broad and and introduces the topic of the essay to the reader.

Now the detailed background sentence should flow naturally from the background sentence, and it should work to sort of narrow the topic.

Furthers that the reader really does know specifically what you're going to be talking about in the essay.

So thes sentences typically have the word this in them somewhere.

Not always, but I mean it's it's a very easy way to connect it to the sentence prior.

So this is nowhere more evident then, okay.

Or okay, um, this can be seen or there are many reasons for this progress further.

And of course, I should point out that that the's stock phrases them, they won't work for every single s.

You're gonna have to tailor them a little bit, depending on the topic that you get.

So it's just good to be aware of different ways that you can start.

You're going to be declaring your purpose for the essay or otherwise known as your thesis.

Um, so you could word it, as in my opinion, comma.

Okay, so it's like you've already brought up the topic in your background sentences, and now you're kind of focusing it specifically on where you stand.

If it's an agree or disagree sort of question, you could say I agree or disagree.

Ah, And then the final sentence in the introduction is your outline sentence.

And again, you want this to flow quite naturally from the thesis.

And so some of my example essays I actually connect the two sentences together, the thesis and the guideline sentence.

So that might be an option for you as well.

But you might start with this will be, um, proven by analyzing or this I say, go.

That's by looking at and then maybe state, two areas that are gonna come up in your supporting paragraphs.

Um, this essay will provide evidence that's in support of this position.

So and these sorts of openers are very good at helping to link the different parts of your essay together.

So because you're kind of declaring the positions that you're going to look at in the supporting paragraphs, it's It's a very clear link.

And of course, that will when you marks for cohesion.

Okay, Now let's look to the first supporting paragraph.

Um, so, as you know, you're also progressing through four different stages.

You're going to declare what the paragraph is talking about in the topic sentence.

Um, you'll share some sort of tangible example to act as evidence of the claim that you're making in the topic.

The discussion sentence is very important because it sort of shows the logical conclusion that you're progressing towards or what can logically be deduced from the example.

Okay, So how does the how exactly does the example um support the topic or prove that the topic sense to be true?

And then the concluding sentence links the entire paragraph right back up to the Thea argument that you made in the introduction paragraph.

It basically links this back to your thesis.

Something like, firstly, of course, um or even firstly, it must be recognized.

That would be progress to whatever your idea is now, there are several different ways to bring up an example.

Of course, you could just write, for example of for instance, okay, for example, Or, for instance, the brightest slashing your essay, Of course.

But for example, for instance, comma and then carry on or something like, um, take and then share the example and then comma for, for example, whatever.

So, uh, you know, take if if if the example is Microsoft, take Microsoft for example, and then you would carry on in a second sentence thio to you no more.

Okay, So it kind of makes the example Sentence two sentences really in effect.

Um, something like this is evidence by this is evidenced by and then share your example or, um, whatever it is, plays a good example here and then much late.

Eso this You're expanding the example into two sentences.

So if you were to say something like, Microsoft plays a good example here at Microsoft blah, blah, blah, whatever the example is, and then carry on to the discussion sentence after that.

Now, uh, just put this onto one page that we can see it clearly.

Um, So the discussion sentence has the very important role of linking the example to the topic showing how the example, you know, um, proves that what's cleaning the topic is true.

So we would say something like this example clearly shows.

Whatever logical conclusion we're leaving too, Or, um, this example makes it clear that and then carry on or when looking at this example, it is clear it is obvious that and then, you know, whatever the logical conclusion is, or even something as simple as clearly, Um, And then, you know, you're sharing kind of the conclusion that you're leading to or the the logical progression it that you want the reader to experience or to notice.

So the concluding sentence, as I was mentioning, links the entire idea that was presented in this paragraph right back up to the central theme of the central position of the essay.

So we might finish with something like, um, thus it must be concluded that Okay, so you're kind of saying like, Well, it's obvious from this that and then you sort of rephrase your your thesis in a way.

Okay, so that when the examiner gets to this sentence, they see that.

Okay, well, this paragraph obviously works towards supporting the thesis.

And if if he's this is written correctly, it links rate to the essay question.

So it all kind of works is one big, cohesive unit.

The link between such and such and such and such, um, is this clear or is that clear you could see is is obvious.

So when you move on to supporting paragraph two, which is what that should have said, um, so you you obviously are going t carry out some several of the same steps.

So you're going to present another example.

You're gonna discuss that and come to some sort of reason conclusion.

So for the topic sentence you it sort of depends on what your purpose is.

I mean, if you're if you're kind of carrying on with the same sort of mo mentum, If you're sharing an additional point that supports your thesis, then you might start with something like further comma and then carry on like that.

Or in addition, do this color, color or comment and carry on.

Um, now, there might be certain instances when you are going to offer some concession or your kind of providing some perspective by looking at an alternative point of view.

So in these cases you might use, However, this is not please four and whatever carry on.

Or on the other hand, although this may be true, carry on.

Now, the one thing to be careful about is, as you know, in an argument essay, you don't want to start countering your yourself.

Really, because you're I mean, the point of it is that you're trying to argue a position so offering a bit of concession, maybe sticking in 1/3 supporting paragraph that, you know, maybe offers a bit of concession in this way is fine.

Just so long as the overall message, um, is clear and that your position on the topic is preserved no matter which what you write in the essay, Okay, because the argument essay is supposed to fundamentally argue a position on then So you would carry on with the example discussion, sentence and concluding sentence as we've talked about before.

Then you come to the conclusion paragraph.

And this paragraph is, um, of course, supposed to wrap up everything that you've said it's supposed to re declare your position on.

That should obviously match whatever you said at the beginning of the essay.

So the first sentence is a summarizing sentence, and you could start this by saying something like, uh, after analyzing the above, it can be concluded that, uh, and now this summarizing sentence in the declaration of position or the restatement of position, these sentences can be connected.

So I mean, as you see, even in this example, lead and here, So, after analyzing the above, it can be concluded that, um, of course, after this, you're going to go right into what your position is in the essay.

And so that would also fulfill the second part here.

So that could be one way to start the sentence.

A second way could be, as you know, shows for following the above examination.
