2. Argumentative Essay
    An argumentative essay is a piece of writing that takes a stance on an issue. In a good argumentative essay, a writer attempts to persuade readers to understand and support their point of view about a topic by stating their reasoning and providing evidence to back it up.
-Introduction : explanation of the issue
-Body :
Opposing to argument 1
Opposing argument 2
Opposing argument 3
Own point of view
- Conclusion

3. A discursive essay thoroughly investigates an argument by offering two opposing perspectives. It’s a practical method of establishing the writer’s opinion on a topic and persuading one’s stance by exploring the reasons why each view may or may not be valid. The author usually maintains a calm and neutral stance throughout the text to establish an unbiased and informative argument.

Structure:
1. Start an essay with an introduction that sounds interesting to the readers. 
2. Give a clear stance in the opening paragraph of the essay itself – you can be for or against a topic or statement if the essay asks you to do so.
3. In the subsequent paragraphs, try to build your arguments.
4. Make sure you alternate from one argument to the other in an alternate manner, i.e., if you have written the first paragraph in support of the topic, then your second paragraph should be something against the topic and not in support of it. 
5. After you have put all your thoughts and opinions in the body section, you now need to focus on the ending section, which is the conclusion.
