Why we have to write an argumentative essay? (task 8)

As we know, argumentative essay is essay which the content is our argument about something controversial. Therefore, it is important for us to have the ability to write an argumentative essay. There are several factors which force us to have the ability of writing an argumentative essay.

The first is we are students. In our life as a student, we often have a discussion about a particular topic, especially in our lesson or subject in our study. When we have a discussion, we must have our own idea which often crushing other student ideas. That is why we have to acquire the argumentative essay writing skill.

The second factor is by having the skill to write an argumentative essay we can express our feeling or we can share our idea about any topics which we are interested in. If we can share our idea in a correct way, we will get an appreciation in our society. It means that we exist in the society. Why is it so? The basic idea of this statement comes from one of the most famous Latin proverb Cogito Ergo Sum which means we think, so that we exist.

The third factor is we try to criticize a particular topic if we want to write an argumentative essay. Why it is important? Because, when we want to criticize a particular topic, we have to understand the topic well. If I may say, we have to master the topic. It is hard, but if we want to compose an argumentative essay, that is the first step to do. Not only that, but we must consider other ideas of a particular topic and think about the reason why other ideas are wrong. The point of this factor is by writing an argumentative essay; we indirectly increase our knowledge and sharpen our mind.

After knowing the benefits of writing an argumentative essay and we do not try to write it, we will lose out something beneficial for us.
