IELTS Advice: argument or discussion?
U
Many people ask me about the difference between an argument essay and
a discussion
essay. Here's an easy way to think about the difference:
•
When you argue, you are trying to persuade the other person to agree with your
point of view. You might even get angry!
•
When you discuss, you consider different points of view, and nobody gets angry.
The question should make it very clear what it wants you to do. If it asks you to
"discuss", you should write about advantages and disadvantages or two different
views.
If the question asks whether you "agree or disagree", it's asking for
your
view. For
this type of question, give your opinion in the introduction and
support it in the rest of
the essay. Try to persuade the reader to agree with you.
