  11. Writing to Argue The purpose of this style of writing is to present both sides of an argument. You present your own point of view, but must acknowledge the other side of the argument too.

  12. The World Cup:Should it be Abolished?

  13. Your introduction Begin with a statement in which you make your point of view clear. For example... The World Cup is a fantastic event and should never be abolished. or The World Cup is a very costly event which serves no real purpose and should be abolished. Develop your paragraph by giving one clear reason to support your point of view.

  14. The main part Write at least two more paragraphs in support of your argument. Start each new paragraph with a fresh point and back up your views with evidence such as facts, figures and quotations. Next write a paragraph which introduces a counter argument. You might begin this paragraph like this: Some people might argue that .... Then argue against this point : However, ............ If you can think of any other counter arguments, introduce them in the same way and then argue against them.

  15. Connectives You must use AFOREST throughout your writing, as well as connectives: HoweverWhereasIn contrast toOn the other handThereforeFor exampleThis shows For instanceSimilarly As well asIn addition toLikewiseIn conclusionFinally To summarise Remember, each time you write about a new idea, you need to start a new paragraph.

  16. Your conclusion Write a final paragraph in which you summarise your points and again make your overall point of view clear to the reader. Use one of these phrases to begin your final paragraph: • To sum up... • In conclusion..... • Overall.......

  17. Your work needs to be completed this lesson. Check through your work: • Have you used AFOREST? • Have you used paragraphs? • Do you need to check any spellings? Peer checking: • Get someone else to have a read of your work and offer advice.
