Argumentative essay
Argumentative essay is a type of formal essay that tries to change the reader’s mind
by convincing the reader to agree with the writer’s point of view about a certain issue. It
uses evidence and facts to support the claim that the author makes. Thus, the pros and cons
are given to both sides so that the reader can weigh and decide on the stand that s/he is going
to take.
Persuasive essay asks you to convince the reader with your beliefs using your own
words. Your ideas and opinions should stir up the emotion of your reader. In this type of
essay, the use of persuasive techniques should be employed.
Examples of modal adverbs are certainly, absolutely, probably, usually and definitely.
Explicit language- this kind of evaluative language is used when the writer wants to explain
and describe things in a detailed manner by directly stating his purpose of writing.
General Directions

proper ways of writing an argumentative essay.

Essay 1
Washing your hands is like a 'do it yourself' vaccine - it reduces the spread of diarrhea and
respiratory system illness, it has 5 simple and effective steps (wet, bubbles, scrub, rinse, dry).
Especially, washing hands regularly before and after specific activities is one of the best ways
to eliminate bacteria, prevent sickness, and prevent bacteria from spreading to other people. It
is fast and very simple, it can make us all free from being sick. In addition to bacteria, washing
hands is everyone's victory.

Essay 2
Hand hygiene is a major issue in infection control. It is considered to be the most important
infection preventing measures. Many infections are spreading by direct contacts. To prevent
contamination, good hand washing techniques must be practiced. Hand washing is also the
least expensive measure to prevent transmission of nosomical infections. Hand washing is
just one important way of avoiding transmission of organisms present on the hands. Hand
hygiene is a well-researched subject. It is stated to be an important route of transmitting
infection (DOH 2001a cited in Dougherty, L. et al 2004). Survey shows that hand washing
is not carried out to the high standards desired (Taylor 1978a cited in Dougherty, L. et al
2004).

Hi, my name is Benji! I’m currently looking for a buddy who can help
me improve and master my writing skills, particularly in expressing my
thoughts about social issues. Can we be partners and learn this lesson
together? My English teacher tells me that learning can be fun when shared
with a friend. Please write your name on the space I provided for you. Nice
meeting you, ___________________! Shall we start?
2. In the first paragraph, write a clear and concise thesis statement. It makes a claim,
directly answering the question given to you.
Example:
Distance learning, though challenging for students and their families and
teachers, too, is very important because it is the only way that education could go on,
while we are all still on community quarantine. (This is your thesis statement! It is
one sentence that expresses the main idea of the essay.)
3. After the first paragraph and the introduction of your thesis statement, write three body
paragraphs that will include evidential support. Evidential Support may come in various
forms which includes facts, statistics, expert opinions, and anecdotal proofs.
In writing the body paragraphs, remember the following:
a. Each paragraph should be limited to the exposition of one general idea. This will
allow for clarity and direction throughout the essay.
4. After writing the body paragraphs using your evidential support, it is time to conclude
this expository essay.
In writing the conclusion, remember the following:
a. This part is not just a rewriting of the thesis; it must try to tie the loose ends and
wrap up the whole discussion.
b. Do not introduce any new information into the conclusion; rather, synthesize and
end the essay using the information presented in the body paragraphs.
Example:
We cannot just wait for the pandemic to be over and allow our learners to miss
learning for one school year. School authorities have to make a way to continue with
education. It will not be easy but measures can be made to address every single
challenge that confronts the implementation of education.

Take Note!!!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mass gatherings are still
prohibited by the government including face-to-face instructions at
school. However, it should not impede us from being creative to
ensure that learning does not stop. And so, I thought of an alternative
way on how you can submit your output to me.
You can send your expositions through any of the following

You might be thinking of the text messages in your phone but No, we are not talking about
cellphone text messages or “texts”!
What is a text?
A text is anything that conveys a set of meanings to the person who examines it.
Most of the texts you’re exposed to in your previous English classes are hard copies or
written texts like books, articles and essays—these kinds of texts are still the most common
types of learning material.
Writing texts of any kind requires understanding of how such texts operate and what do
they look like. The writing of any text cannot come in isolation- writing and reading are
intertwined and the best writers are people who read a lot.
Have you ever tried composing or writing a text with multimodal elements?
Now that you have learned what is a text and its multimodal elements, are you
ready to explore and start creating your own multimodal text?

Did you get the modes right? If yes, then get ready for your next activity. If not, then
you may ask the assistance of your parent, elder siblings or guardians to help you.
This time let’s combine text with multimodal elements. Using your
cellphone/tablet/digital camera take a picture of anything that interests you. For those without
available gadgets, you may cut a picture from a magazine or newspaper.
From the picture/image that you have captured, compose a two to three narrative or
descriptive text expressing your feelings or narrating what happened in that picture/image.
