Argumentative text - what is it?

A text where you take a position on a controversial issue and you try to convince the reader that your opinion is the correct one.

Think about something in the film that you agree with OR don't agree with.

Your text should be a reaction to the film "Before the flood".

Suggestions of headlines for your text: (feel free to make up a catching headline of your own)

Give us our future back!
Why we must act on climate change now!
There is no business on a dead planet!

You can help save the planet!


Complicated topic?
Make it as complicated as you want to. Write about y o u r opinion and y o u r every-day-life
+ add at least one example from the film.

When writing the text:


1. Take a stand! What is your opinion?

State your opinion clearly!
I think, I believe, According to me, In my opinion...

How to give your opinion



2. Structure 

You should have a clear
introduction, body (2-3 paragraphs), conclusion

Introduction:
What will this text be about? Include the topic and state your opinion. Make the reader interested! Catch the reader!
(Ex: start with a question, quote, or a fact)

Body:
Present your arguments in 2-3 paragraphs, one paragraph for each argument. Add information and your opinion. Give reasons!

First of all, firstly, secondly, thirdly, in addition to this, moreover, also...

Conclusion:
A summary of what you have written. You do not present any new opinions/arguments here, only tie the text together. You sum up what you have already discussed.

In conclusion, All in all...

Example essay



3. Language
Try to use as formal language as possible
(avoid slang, colloquial language etc.)

 Formal and informal English


Try to vary your language! Do not overuse the same words.
Use synonyms.
Ex: for example - for instance



Think about agreement!
Who is doing something and when?
The machine work well... (works)
She don't need to... (does not)
He have helped me in my life (has)



Spelling: Use spellright OR look up words you are unfamiliar with

And finally, remember....

Jag = I
should vs would = borde - skulle
learn vs teach = lära sig - undervisa/lära ut

He would do it if he could = Han skulle göra det om han kunde
You really should do it! = borde

Today my teacher taught me how to write in English.
I learned how to write in English!
