Too many ideas for writing an argumentative essay, but can’t decide on the one?
Relax! Just take a deep breath and follow the tips given in the video for choosing a good argumentative topic!
Go for Your Interest
Pick a theme you are passionate about, have some knowledge on, and can clearly express your opinion on.
REMEMBER...
The topic should resonate with your interest!!!
Explore the Environment You Live In
To get ideas for the argumentative essay, brainstorm the surroundings you live in. You can pick the drawbacks or the taboos around you.
REMEMBER...
Avoid emotional areas or else you won’t be able to argue with a clear mind!!!
Look Back to the Past
Go back to the old times and try to recall whether you’ve had any argument with anyone on some issue.
REMEMBER...
The incident should be some kind of argument as you need to take a side.
Pick Controversial Themes
If you can take the risk, then choose a controversial topic which others might have decided to avoid.
REMEMBER...
For an impressive essay, your subject should stand out from “common” themes!!!
Choose a Researchable Topic
Ensure that the arguments you present have reliable and convincing information which can back your opinions and the opposing opinions.
REMEMBER...
Get sufficient information about the topic, it should not just be a vague idea!!!
Take Audience into Account
Think of who might potentially be reading your essay, and try to predict what their opinion on the issue you want to discuss will be.
REMEMBER...
Your readers should find the subject intriguing, so take their interest into account!!!
A Big NO to Pure Facts
Avoid picking a topic that presents the facts only. Since statements are just pieces of evidence, they are quite difficult to debate.
REMEMBER...
Facts are just to support the arguments, so avoid a factual topic!!!
Avoid Topics with Too Wide Focus
Don’t go for the topics that are too big for discussion. Focus on a specific theme which can easily be debated.
REMEMBER...
The theme you pick should be narrow and emphasize on a particular argument!!!
