                   A.  Definition of argumentative text:

                       Have you ever read a sentence or article that contains an opinion? In
                       English, this  sentence is often found in  argumentative texts.  So, to

                       know  its  meaning  and  how  to  use  it,  let's  just  read  the  language

                       below.
                       What is argumentative text?

                       An  argumentative  text  is  a  type  of  writing  in  which  the  author
                       presents a clear stance on a particular issue or topic and supports this

                       stance with evidence, reasoning, and logic. The primary purpose of

                       an argumentative text is to persuade the reader to accept the author's
                       viewpoint  or  to  consider  it  as  a  valid  perspective.  This  form  of

                       writing involves presenting facts, statistics, and examples, as well as
                       addressing and refuting counterarguments to strengthen the author's

                       position.

                       Argumentative texts have several main objectives, namely:
                          1.  Convince the Reader: The main goal of argumentative text is

                              to convince the reader of the truth or superiority of an opinion
                              or idea.  The author attempts to influence the reader's views

                              through logical arguments supported by strong evidence.
                          2.  Invites critical thinking: This text encourages readers to think

                              critically  about  the  topics  discussed.    By  presenting  diverse

                              and  often  complex  arguments,  argumentative  texts  invite
                              readers  to  consider  various  points  of  view  before  drawing

                              conclusions.
