Question
Layout for discursive writing for school magazine
Intro
2 rhetorical questions related to the question (e.g. How many of you buy locally grown products) then give a general opinion (don’t include your points here! it’s only an intro e.g. In my opinion, local products are better than imported)
Main
To begin with, (3 points either for or against the question e.g. an advantage of locally grown products is that they are fresh. For example, vegetables grown by local farmers can be delivered to local shops fast). In addition, (2nd point) such as, (expand the point). then of course, (third point)
However, many people argue that (if you had 3 points for then this will be your point against / if you had 3 points against, this is your point for). This may be true however this is not as important compared to (e.g. freshness of the product)
Conclusion
In conclusion, (summarise what you have argued e.g. In my opinion, locally grown products are better than imported products) and (Call for action e.g. We should promote locally grown products)
Checklist
- Have a title relating to the subject
- Intro start off with a statement and rhetorical questions
- Don’t forget to develop your points e.g. For example…, Such as…
- 3 Points for and 1 against OR 3 points against and 1 point for
- Have a conclusion with your opinion and call for action
is it necessary to have a title relating to the subject for discursive writing?
Yes, you obviously need a title
and can i get some more tips for short-notes?
is it okay if we directly state our opinion in the introduction? i hope you reply it as soon as possible because i afraid it will be wronged. tommorow is my exam OMG
Yes! I usually begin my intro with 2 rhetorical questions then write “In my opinion,”
