Was ist eine Argumentation?

Wenn du eine Argumentation schreibst, nimmst du in schriftlicher Form Stellung zu einem Thema. Das heißt, du äußerst deine Meinung und begründest diese mit Argumenten, die du vorher gesammelt hast.

Wichtig ist dabei, dass du die Argumente begründest und Beispiele nennst.

Stuktur einer Argumentation Eine Argumentation besteht aus mehreren Teilen: 1. Einleitung (introduction) 2. Hauptteil (main part) : Vorstellen der Argumente 3. Fazit (conclusion)

Bevor du allerdings mit dem Schreiben beginnst, solltest du deine Argumente sammeln. Überlege, wie du deinen Text strukturieren möchtest:

• Welches Argument möchtest du als Erstes schreiben, welches kommt zum Schluss?
• Welche Formulierungen möchtest du verwenden? Dein Text soll schließlich verständlich und gut zu lesen sein.

Argumente begründen

Beispiele nennen, argumente richtig anordnen, wie finde ich argumente.

Um eine gute Argumentation zu schreiben, musst du dich mit dem Thema intensiv beschäftigen.

Woher bekomme ich Informationen?

• Oft findest du in der aktuellen Unit im Buch Texte, die dir Pro- oder Kontra-Argumente liefern.
• Vielleicht habt ihr im Unterricht auch schon über das Thema geredet und dabei unterschiedliche Dinge geäußert?
• Du kannst auch mit Mitschülern (oder mit Freunden und Familie) über das Thema reden. Sie haben sicher auch gute Ideen, auf die du alleine nicht kommen würdest.
• Eine weitere gute Quelle kann das Internet sein. Aber VORSICHT: Nicht jede Internetseite ist zuverlässig und enthält korrekte Informationen! Übernimm nicht einfach alles, was du liest, sondern überlege und prüfe, ob die Infos wirklich stimmen.

Beispiele und Gründe sind wichtig

Neben den Argumenten solltest du auch weitere Informationen und Beispiele parat haben. Frage nicht nur, welche Meinung in Texten oder Aussagen steckt, sondern auch welche Gründe es für diese Meinung gibt.

Am besten du sammelst Argumente und Informationen in einer Tabelle:

Wie strukturiere ich meinen Text?

Bevor du anfängst zu schreiben, bringe deine gesammelten Argumente in eine logische Reihenfolge, damit sie den Leser von deiner Meinung überzeugen.

Argumentation: Einleitung, Hauptteil und Fazit

In der Einleitung (introduction) schreibst du kurz, worum es in deinem Text geht und versuchst, das Interesse des Lesers zu wecken.

Dein Hauptteil (main part) besteht aus mehreren Argumenten, die deine Meinung deutlich machen. Am besten schreibst du pro Argument (inkl. Beispielen und Erklärungen) einen Absatz, das macht deinen Text gut lesbar. Im Fazit (conclusion) , das auch ein eigener Absatz ist, fasst du deine Meinung zusammen, die du vorher mit Argumenten begründet hast.

Einleitung:

Zum Beispiel: In our school we discussed if we should introduce school uniforms or not. In the following text I want to write my opinion about this topic and give arguments which support my opinion.

Und wie kann ich das auf Englisch sagen?

• Einen Kommentar (comment) schreiben

Bei einer Argumentation schreibst Du eine Stellungnahme zu einem bestimmten Thema und bringst dabei starke Argumente und Beispiele , um Deinen Standpunkt zu festigen. Auch auf Englisch folgt die Argumentation dem klassischen Aufbau:

Du solltest bei der Argumentation besonders auf die Struktur der Argumente achten: Behauptung , Begründung , Beispiel . Und auch die passenden Formulierungen und Satzanfänge helfen Dir, um die perfekte Argumentation auf Englisch zu schreiben!

Argumentation schreiben Englisch

Im Englischunterricht kann es vorkommen, dass Du eine Argumentation schreiben wirst. Doch was ist eine Argumentation eigentlich?

Eine Argumentation ist ein Text , der Argumente zu einem Thema darlegt und eine bestimmte Meinung begründet. Dafür werden Argumente aneinandergereiht und mit Beispielen belegt. Eine Argumentation kann auch Erörterung genannt werden.

Um eine Argumentation auf Englisch zu schreiben, brauchst Du ein Thema, zu dem Du Argumente findest.

Argumentation Englisch – Themen

Häufig sind die Themen für eine englische Argumentation von Deiner Lehrerkraft vorgegeben, sodass Du nur noch passende Argumente finden musst. Wenn Du jedoch frei wählen darfst, bietet es sich an, ein Thema auszusuchen, zu dem Dir ein paar Argumente einfallen.

Um Deine Kreativität anzuregen, sind hier einige Beispiele für Themen einer Argumentation auf Englisch:

• Warum sollten Hausaufgaben nicht mehr als eine Stunde täglich beanspruchen?
• Warum Du unbedingt ein Haustier bekommen solltest.
• Sind Hunde bessere Haustiere als Hamster?
• Sollten Tablets in der Schule genutzt werden?
• Zu viel Zeit am Smartphone schadet Dir.
• Warum wir uns für den Klimaschutz einsetzen sollten.
• Warum Geschlechtsidentitäten in der Schule besprochen werden sollten.
• Sollten Cafeterien nur noch vegetarische Speisen anbieten?

Du kannst nahezu zu jedem Thema, das Dir einfällt und zu dem Du Argumente und Beispiele findest, eine englische Argumentation schreiben.

Argumentation Englisch – Argumente

Wie der Name "Argumentation" schon sagt, wird diese von Argumenten getragen. Der Hauptteil Deiner Argumentation besteht nämlich nur aus verschiedenen Argumenten für oder gegen Dein Thema.

Aber wie schreibst Du ein Argument?

• Du beginnst mit der Behauptung ,
• dann folgt eine Begründung
• und dann ein Beispiel.

Diesen Aufbau kannst Du Dir als die drei B's merken, die ein Argument ausmachen: B ehauptung, B egründung, B eispiel. Schreibe für jedes Argument einen eigenen Absatz, um den Text übersichtlicher zu gestalten.

Je nach gefordertem Umfang Deiner Argumentation musst Du nicht zu jeder Behauptung ein Beispiel bringen. Es bietet sich allerdings an, zum letzten und stärksten Argument ein Beispiel anzufügen, um die Tragweite des Arguments zu demonstrieren.

Argumentation Englisch – Pro & Contra-Argumente

In einer Argumentation kannst Du auch Argumente anführen, die nicht für Deine Meinung sprechen. Du nutzt also Pro- und auch Contra-Argumente. Die Argumente, die gegen Deine Meinung sprechen, helfen Dir

• als Abwägung
• um ein anderes Argument zu entkräften
• um ein stärkeres Pro-Argument darauffolgend anzuführen

Das heißt, dass es sinnvoll ist, wenn Du Dir vor dem Schreiben Deiner Argumentation eine Liste mit Pro- und Contra-Argumenten erstellst. Das kannst Du am besten in einer Tabelle tun:

Im Anschluss solltest Du Deine Argumente nach Stärke sortieren:

• Welche Argumente sind besonders überzeugend? Das sind Deine stärkeren Argumente.
• Beim Schreiben beginnst Du mit dem schwächsten Argument und endest mit dem stärksten.
• Auch das kannst Du in der Tabelle notieren.

Eine solche Pro-Contra-Tabelle kann Dir auch dabei helfen, Deine Meinung für das Thema zu finden: Die Seite, für die Du mehr und stärkere Argumente findest, solltest Du in der Argumentation vertreten.

Du hast ein Thema für Deine Argumentation, aber findest keine Argumente und Beispiele? Dann helfen Dir vielleicht diese Ideen:

• Hast Du das Thema schon im Unterricht behandelt ? Dann hast Du vielleicht schon einige Ideen und Argumente aufgenommen und notiert.
• Textbücher können eine gute Quelle für Deine Pro- oder Kontra-Aspekte sein. Schaue dazu im relevanten Kapitel nach sinnvollen Argumenten für Deinen Standpunkt.
• In Konversationen mit Deinen Mitschüler*innen oder anderen Personen in Deiner Umgebung könnten sich Ideen entwickeln, die für Deine Argumentation nützlich sind. Gehe also in den Austausch und sprich mit Leuten, mit denen Du diskutieren kannst.
• Zu guter Letzt ist das Internet eine weitere, sehr oft genutzte Quelle. Beachte dabei aber, dass die Quellen von einer seriösen Seite stammen und der Wahrheit entsprechen.

Oder klick Dich durch die Erklärungen " Group Discussion Topics ", " Coming of Age ", " Role Models ", " Gender Issues " oder " Global Problems ". Da gibt es auch direkt passende Vokabeln mit dazu!

Argumentation Englisch – Aufbau

Diese Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung zeigt Dir den Aufbau einer Argumentation auf Englisch:

• Nenne das Thema Deiner Argumentation.
• Erkläre, warum Du das Thema ausgewählt hast (Aktualität, Wichtigkeit, betrifft viele Leute, ...)
• Wecke das Interesse der Lesenden.
• Nenne kurz Deine Meinung.
• Führe die Argumente an, die Deine Meinung unterstützen.
• Jedes Argument sollte einzeln erklärt werden.
• Folge dabei den drei B's.
• Fasse Deine Argumentation kurz zusammen.
• Greife Deine Meinung noch einmal auf.
• Du kannst z. B. auch noch einmal das stärkste Argument nennen (Vorsicht vor inhaltlichen Dopplungen!)

Argumentation Englisch – Zeitform

Eine englische Argumentation schreibst Du in der Zeitform Simple Present . Bei Beispielen kann es sein, dass Du auf Vergangenes Bezug nimmst, dann verwendest Du eine Past Tense. Wenn Du einen Ausblick gibst, ist eine Future Tense, wie das will Future angebracht.

Sieh Dir dazu das folgende Beispiel an:

An aspect to consider is the fact that tablets are capable of more than school related tasks and therefore create distractions. Students may be tempted to use other features of the tablet. This will lead to them not following the teachers instructions and hence they will not understand what is tought at school. These distractions come especially in form of games since students only have to open the App Store and download whatever game they want .

Klick Dich auch in die Erklärungen " Simple Present ", " Simple Past " oder " Past Perfect " rein, um Dien Wissen über die englischen Zeitformen noch einmal aufzufrischen.

Argumentation Englisch – Einleitung

In der Einleitung einer Argumentation auf Englisch steigst Du ins Thema ein und weckst das Interesse der Leser*innen. Eine mögliche introduction könnte so aussehen:

Should tablets be used in schools?

In the following argumentation, I discuss whether tablets should be used in schools.

Wie Du siehst, wird in der Einleitung der Argumentation auf Englisch das Thema genannt und erwähnt, für das Du eine Argumentation schreibst.

Argumentation Englisch – Formulierungen Einleitung

Mit folgenden Formulierungen kannst Du Deine englische Argumentation beginnen:

Argumentation Englisch – Hauptteil

Der Hauptteil bzw. m ain part ist der wichtigste Teil Deiner Argumentation. Hier lieferst Du Deine zuvor gesammelten und geordneten Argumente. Fange mit dem schwächsten Argument an und bringe die stärksten Argumente zuletzt, damit Du die Lesenden am Ende Deiner Argumentation überzeugst.

Die folgende Tabelle zeigt Dir drei Argumente, die hintereinander im Hauptteil stehen können. Links siehst Du dabei die einzelnen Elemente des Arguments, um den Unterschied zwischen den drei B's deutlicher zu machen.

Argumentation Englisch – Satzanfänge Hauptteil

Mit folgenden Satzanfängen und linking words kannst Du den Hauptteil Deiner Argumentation schreiben:

Auf die Verwendung von linking words legen die meisten Lehrkräfte sehr viel Wert und beziehen sie auch mit in ihre Bewertung ein. Also klick Dich auch in die Erklärung " Linking Words Englisch " rein, um noch mehr dieser hilfreichen kleinen Wörter zu lernen!

Argumentation Englisch – Fazit

Nachdem Du den Hauptteil geschrieben hast, kannst Du zum Fazit bzw. der c onclusion übergehen. Hier schreibst Du eine kurze und prägnante Zusammenfassung Deiner Meinung, die Du in den vorherigen Absätzen mit starken Argumenten begründet hast.

Das könnte z. B. so aussehen:

All in all, I think there is no right or easy answer to whether or not tablets should be used in school. A regulated use of technology is helpful and necessary in today's learning and teaching world. While tablets can become a distraction, the arguments for using them outweigh the possibility of misuse.

Im Fazit bringst Du keine neuen Argumente! Du schließt nur die Argumentation zusammenfassend ab.

Wie Du siehst, musst Du auch nicht eindeutig für eine Seite sein. Dein Fazit kann auch sein, dass ein Zwischenweg die richtige Wahl wäre.

Argumentation Englisch – Phrasen Fazit

Mit folgenden Phrasen kannst Du das Fazit Deiner Argumentation einleiten:

Argumentation Englisch Beispieltext

Du hast im Laufe der Erklärung bereits einen Beispieltext für eine Argumentation auf Englisch kennengelernt. Der folgende Text stellt eine zweite Musterlösung zum Thema "Auslandsjahr" dar.

Studying abroad for a year has become increasingly popular amongst young adults in recent years. The opportunity to immerse oneself in a new culture and gain valuable life experiences is often cited as a major motivator for those considering an overseas adventure. In this argumentation, I will discuss the benefits of studying abroad and why it is worth taking the leap to spend a year in a foreign country.

Firstly, studying abroad can provide students with a unique opportunity to learn and grow both academically and personally. Being exposed to a new academic environment can challenge students to think in new ways and develop a broader understanding of different perspectives. Studying abroad also often involves learning a new language or improving existing language skills, which can be invaluable in an increasingly globalised world.

Secondly, a year spent abroad can help students develop important life skills such as independence, adaptability, and problem-solving. Being away from home, family, and friends can be a challenging experience, but it also provides a chance to learn how to navigate unfamiliar situations and develop self-reliance.

Despite the many benefits of studying abroad, there are also potential challenges and drawbacks to consider. One of the most significant challenges is the cost. Studying abroad can be expensive, and many students may struggle to afford it without financial assistance. There may also be language barriers, cultural differences, and homesickness to contend with.

However, these challenges can be overcome with careful planning and preparation. Students should research and consider various study abroad programmes and scholarships to help offset the cost. They should also take advantage of language classes and cultural orientation programmes offered by their host institution to help ease the transition to a new country and culture.

In conclusion, studying abroad for a year can be a transformative experience that provides numerous benefits and opportunities for personal and professional growth. While there are challenges to consider, the rewards of studying abroad are well worth the effort and expense.

Teaching argumentative writing in the classroom, grades 9–12, by: tiffany rehbein.

Teaching both tenth and twelfth grade presents its rewards and challenges. It is rewarding because I get to see so much growth and maturity in twelfth graders. It can be challenging when I just finish grading 50 tenth-grade argumentative essays at the end of the first semester only to turn around and grade 50 more twelfth-grade argumentative essays at the beginning of second semester.

The Purpose of Argumentative Writing

While the challenge is in the time it takes to grade the essays, the excitement is within teaching argumentative writing. The purpose of argumentative writing is to defend a position on a particular subject with the goal of persuading readers to accept or at least consider the argument.

Elements of Argumentative Writing

There are four big ideas to remember when teaching argumentative writing: claim, reasons, evidence, and counterclaim.

Claim – This is the main argument of the essay. It might also be called a thesis or thesis statement.

Reasons – These are the ideas that support the claim. In a traditional essay, there are at least three but this varies based upon grade level and complexity of the argument writing.

Evidence – These are the specific details in the argument writing. If students are conducting research, this is where the expert opinions would be included. If students are referencing data, it would be written here. If students are including examples, it would be included here. Any appeals a student used would be evident here.

Counterclaim – This is the other side of the issue. Addressing a counterclaim makes the student’s argument writing stronger.

Addressing Counterclaims

Students can address counterclaims a number of ways in argument writing. Here are some common approaches:

While it may be true that ____________; nevertheless, it turns out that ____________.

A common argument against this is ________, but _____________.

Skeptics may think that ____________, but ___________.

Focus Topics & Transitions in Argumentative Writing

Last November, I had the great pleasure of presenting at the National Council of Teacher’s of English Annual Convention with author, educator, and our special guest Core Grammar blogger, Dr. Beverly Ann Chin. In her presentation, Dr. Chin included the following questions to focus topics in persuasive writing:

Is the scope of my persuasive topic appropriate and manageable?

What is my thesis statement or claim?

What facts, examples, or details contribute to—or detract from—my persuasive topic?

How do my topic sentences and transitional devices help the audience see the unity and coherence in my persuasive writing?

Do the main ideas and supporting ideas address my audience’s questions about the persuasive topic?

The questions Dr. Chin shared during her presentation should also be asked when writing argumentative essays. Keeping in mind topic sentences and transitions, here are some key words that can help support students as they begin to write argumentatively.

To connect the first paragraph to the second paragraph, use phrases such as To begin with , In the first place , or The first reason .

To connect the second paragraph to the third paragraph, use phrases such as Additionally , Another reason why , or Next .

To connect the third paragraph to the fourth paragraph, use phrases such as Lastly , Yet another reason why , or Also

The conclusion also needs a transition, so remind students to use phrases such as In conclusion , To sum it up , or In the final analysis .

Graphic Organizer for Argumentative Essays

Argumentative writing is powerful and important. I've created two worksheets for download that can assist students in their argumentative writing.

The first is a graphic organizer to capture students’ thinking about a claim, reasons, and evidence. The second is a poster/tip sheet to remind students about the elements of argumentative writing. Download them now!

In der neunten Klasse in Englisch lernen die Schüler bei uns zum ersten Mal systematisch, wie sie eine Erörterung – auf Englisch eben Argumentative Writing oder Essay – schreiben. In unserem Schulbuch English G 21 A5A von Cornelsen ist der Aufbau ganz gut beschrieben, sodass sie einen ersten Eindruck erhalten können:

Mögliche weitere Aufgabenstellungen ergeben sich an der ein oder anderen Stelle in dem Unit, sodass sie z.B. über mögliche alternative Strafen für kriminelle Jugendliche (ASBOs in UK) oder mögliche ehrenamtliche Arbeit diskutieren können.

Da ich diese Textsorte aber zum Schwerpunkt des Kapitels und somit auch der Klassenarbeit machen wollte, fehlte es mir an Übungsmöglichkeiten. Also habe ich zuerst den Aufbau nochmals visualisieren wollen. Aufgrund meiner nicht vorhandenen Technik in diesem Schuljahr habe ich mir Schilder erstellt, die ich über selbstklebende Magnetstreifen an der Tafel befestigen und so immer wieder nutzen konnte:

Wer Interesse an diesen Schildern hat, kann sie sich hier als PDF herunterladen:

Darüber hinaus brauchte ich mehr Statements , zu denen man gut das Argumentative Essay üben konnte. Fündig wurde ich bei der New York Times , die aus ihren Artikeln über die Jahre zu vielen Themen verschiedene Prompts gesammelt hat. Zu meinem Anliegen passten die „401 Prompts for Argumentative Writing“ am besten, die man sich auf der Website sogar als PDF direkt herunterladen kann. Optional kann man die Statements auf der Seite auch anklicken und den dazugehörigen Artikel lesen (lassen).

Natürlich brauchte ich keine 401 Aussagen und habe mir daher eine Auswahl ausgesucht, sie in eine Tabelle kopiert, auf stärkeres Papier ausgedruckt, ausgeschnitten und in einen Beutel gepackt.

Daraus konnten die Schüler in jeder Stunde ein Statement ziehen, dieses „bearbeiten“ und vorlesen. Wer wollte, konnte mir seine Erörterung auch zur (genaueren) Korrektur abgeben. Wer wollte, konnte freiwillig immer noch mehr Statements ziehen und diese Textsorte üben.

Wichtig war dabei, dass beim Vorlesen die Meinung herauskam. So sollten die Schüler anhand der Reihenfolge der Argumente feststellen können, ob derjenige dafür oder dagegen war.

Im Anschluss gaben sie ihrem Mitschüler Feedback, z.B. ob die Struktur schlüssig war, ob die Einleitung ansprechend gestaltet war und ob genügend / gute Linking Words verwendet wurden.

Diese Linking words wollte ich noch etwas erweitern, da mir die Auswahl in unserem Cornelsen-Buch (siehe oben) etwas zu klein vorkam. Andere Schulbücher bieten auch immer etwas zu Argumentative Writing bzw. zu solchen Connectives an, sodass man darauf zurückgreifen kann. Meine Empfehlung ist vor allem die Übersicht im Pathway von Schönigh für die Einführungsphase, Klett bietet eine kürzere Übersicht im Buch Transition an:

Ich bin gespannt, wie die Schüler die Klassenarbeit bewerkstelligen werden und ob die Übungsmöglichkeiten gut genutzt wurden. Mir war hier auch nochmals wichtig zu zeigen, dass man gut Materialien kombinieren kann und nicht alles neu erfinden muss. 😇

Das klingt nach einem tollen Weg, das Englisch Lernen zu verbessern!

Genial. DANKE.

Linking words: sammeln lassen, mehrfach auf Farbsets folieren, paarweise austeilen, auf Tisch verteilen, lesen, dann einen deiner prompts, sie sollen argumentieren und dabei die linking words der Karten verwenden: done? Take the card. Wer hat am meisten…?

Argumentation Englisch

Du bist auf der Suche nach Tipps und Tricks, wie du eine gelungene Argumentation in Englisch schreibst? Hier zeigen wir dir Schritt für Schritt, wie du zum Argumentations-Champion wirst! Schau dir doch direkt unser Video an!

Was ist eine argumentation?

Argumentation englisch – vorbereitung, argumentation englisch – aufbau, tipps und tricks , argumentation im essay.

Eine argumentation ist eine Aufsatzform, in der du deine Meinung zu einem vorgegebenen Thema ausdrückst. In dieser persönlichen Stellungnahme versuchst du, die Leser durch aussagekräftige Argumente zu überzeugen.   

Wichtig ist, dass du in allen drei Teilen deiner argumentation (introduction – main part – conclusion)   sachlich  bleibst und deine Meinung geschickt mit  Beispielen  untermauerst.

Einfach drauf loszuschreiben ist bei einer argumentation keine besonders gute Idee. Bevor du mit deinem Aufsatz beginnst, solltest du dich erst mal mit dem Thema auseinandersetzen.  

Die Aufgabenstellung verrät dir, zu welchem Thema du deine Meinung vorstellen sollst. Im nächsten Schritt sammelst du wichtige Aspekte , Schlüsselbegriffe   und allerlei  Beispiele  passend zum Thema.

Nachdem du ein paar aussagekräftige Argumente und Beispiele gesammelt hast, kannst du nun damit loslegen, deinen Text zu strukturieren.  

Der Aufbau einer argumentation ist immer gleich. Dein Aufsatz besteht immer aus drei Teilen , die du durch Absätze voneinander trennst.  

1. Introduction (Einleitung) 2. Main Part (Hauptteil) 3. Conclusion  (Fazit/Schluss)  

Du beginnst jede argumentation mit einer Einleitung , der sogenannten introduction .   Darin führst du zum Thema hin und versuchst, das Interesse der Leser zu wecken.  

Du kannst darin etwa betonen, warum das Thema eine wichtige Rolle spielt.  Dafür eignen sich folgende Satzanfänge:

Der main part ( Hauptteil ) ist das Herzstück deines Aufsatzes. Darin stellst du in der Regel 2-3 Argumente vor. Die Struktur eines Arguments ist dabei immer gleich: 

• Behauptung (topic sentence): Am Anfang eines Absatzes stellst du zunächst eine Behauptung auf.
• Erklärung : Du erklärst und begründest den  topic sentence  anschließend in 2-3 Sätzen.
• Beispiel : Jetzt fehlt nur noch eine Art „Beweis“ für dein Argument. Diesen lieferst du mithilfe eines Beispiels aus deinem Alltag, den Medien oder sogar einer Studie.

Argumentation Englisch – Beispiel: Spending a school year abroad will help every student to improve their language skills . If you move to another country, you are surrounded by a new language all the time. Talking with your new friends there and spending time with them is the best way to become fluent in a language .  For example, when a student spends one year in an American high school, he not only speaks English in class, but also after school with his friends and host family. This automatically improves his English . 

Wichtig: Du ordnest deine Argumente nach aufsteigender Wichtigkeit an. Du beginnst mit dem schwächsten und beendest den main part mit dem stärksten Argument.  Das gelingt dir beispielsweise so:

Zu guter Letzt rundest du deine argumentation mit einer persönlichen Schlussfolgerung (conclusion) ab. Das heißt, du fasst deine Meinung in einem Fazit zusammen.  Diese Bindewörter können dir dabei helfen: 

Wichtig : Im Schluss fügst du keine neuen Argumente mehr hinzu!

• Tipp 1 : Denke an das  KISS-Prinzip (Keep it short & simple) bei einer argumentation ! Komme also schnell auf den Punkt und schreibe keine Schachtelsätze.
• Tipp 2 : Linking words  machen deine Argumente und Übergänge logischer und übersichtlicher.  
• Tipp 3 : Vermeide  short forms ( Abkürzungen ) wie  doesn’t oder haven’t . Stattdessen schreibst du does not oder  have not.
• Tipp 4 : Verzichte auf Umgangssprache ! Du möchtest schließlich sachlich und  überzeugend klingen.  

Nun kannst du den Stift zücken und alle Leser von deiner Meinung überzeugen. Eine argumentation findest du übrigens auch in einem Essay wieder, nur in einer freieren Form. Was genau einen gelungenen  Essay in Englisch ausmacht und wie du ihn schreibst, erklären wir dir hier !

Schools warned of pupils hooked on energy drinks 

by Polly Curtis, the Guardian , September 3, 2008

Children are becoming dependent on energy drinks that have dramatic effects on their concentration and behaviour in schools, drug experts have warned.

Schools are being advised to observe children for signs of agitation which could be a result of excessive caffeine consumption. It follows reports of pupils drinking large quantities of energy drinks or taking caffeine-based pills.

The warning, from the anti-drugs advisory group (Anti-Drogen Beratungsgruppe) Drug Education UK, comes as ministers prepare to unveil (enthüllen) new measures (Maßnahmen) tomorrow to improve school dinners and advise parents on children's packed lunches.

Bob Tait, from Drug Education UK, said: "There is a growing problem of caffeine abuse in schools. Most schools have a drug education programme to advise kids against illegal drugs, but there is less known about legal highs."

He made his warning at a conference of school nurses this week, the Nursing Standard reported. Tait said: "Children will drink them on the walk to school, at break and lunch time. If you have got a child who is worked up on an energy drink, they are going to be agitated during lesson time."

Energy drinks contain up to 160 mg of caffeine per can, while tablets can contain 50 mg of caffeine per tablet. They are said to combat (bekämpfen) tiredness, improve performance and boost concentration. Tait singled out Bruzz as a particular problem.

Malcolm Trobe, head of Malmesbury school in Wiltshire until last term and now policy director (Leiter der Strategieabteilung) of the Association of School and College Leaders (Schulleiter und Schulleiterinnen), said: "Schools are concerned about the abuse of energy drinks. What is clear is students use them at exam time, if they are staying up late and revising or if they've got a lot of exams on one day."

Margaret Morrissey, of the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations (Nationale Vereinigung von Eltern-Lehrer Verbänden), said: "These drinks are often marketed to help pupils through exams. It means we are teaching children early to have addictions, when any average young person with an average lifestyle does not need an energy drink to make it through the day."

A Bruzz spokesman said: "In general, children are more sensitive to caffeine than adults. This is why we do not recommend Bruzz to caffeine-sensitive individuals, including children."

An essay is an argument which leads the reader from the beginning (introduction) to the end (conclusion.) It has to be objective and logical.

There are three parts:

• Introduction
• Arguments – Pros – Cons

1. Introduction

• It's a fact that ...
• You often hear people say ...
• It is widely believed that ...

2. Arguments

• Another argument for/against ...
• They argue that ... because ...
• They claim that ...
• They also say ...

3. Conclusion

• I think that ...
• My opinion is ... because ...
• Looking at the arguments I would say ...

4. How do I start?

Before you start to write your argumentative essay, collect arguments and bring them in a logical order.

5. What steps are important?

5.1. introduction.

Start with an interesting beginning. Do not name arguments and do not make the introduction too long. You can include your own experience to the title of the essay.

5.2. Arguments

Arrange your arguments in a logical order. Put the most important argument at the end. Explain each argument. Do not make sentences too complicated.

5.3. Conclusion

Your personal conclusion should include your opinion, but can also be objective, depending on the title. Do not name new arguments. Look back over the argument in the essay and show the reader that you have reached an ending.

An argumentative essay requires you to decide on a topic and take a position on it. You'll need to back up your viewpoint with well-researched facts and information as well. One of the hardest parts is deciding which topic to write about, but there are plenty of ideas available to get you started.

Choosing a Great Argumentative Essay Topic

Students often find that most of their work on these essays is done before they even start writing. This means that it's best if you have a general interest in your subject, otherwise you might get bored or frustrated while trying to gather information. (You don't need to know everything, though.) Part of what makes this experience rewarding is learning something new.

It's best if you have a general interest in your subject, but the argument you choose doesn't have to be one that you agree with.

The subject you choose may not necessarily be one that you are in full agreement with, either. You may even be asked to write a paper from the opposing point of view. Researching a different viewpoint helps students broaden their perspectives. 

Ideas for Argument Essays

Sometimes, the best ideas are sparked by looking at many different options. Explore this list of possible topics and see if a few pique your interest. Write those down as you come across them, then think about each for a few minutes.

Which would you enjoy researching? Do you have a firm position on a particular subject? Is there a point you would like to make sure to get across? Did the topic give you something new to think about? Can you see why someone else may feel differently?

50 Possible Topics

A number of these topics are rather controversial—that's the point. In an argumentative essay, opinions matter and controversy is based on opinions, which are, hopefully, backed up by facts.   If these topics are a little too controversial or you don't find the right one for you, try browsing through persuasive essay and speech topics  as well.

Themen zum Üben des Argumentierens

Das Argumentieren spielt bei TestDaF sowohl beim Prüfungsteil Mündlicher Ausdruck als auch beim Schriftlichen Ausdruck eine zentrale Rolle und bereitet vielen Deutschlernern große Probleme. Auch bei DSH-Prüfungen ist das Argumentieren häufig bei Textproduktionen gefragt.

Das Argumentieren wird im deutschen Hochschulsystem als eine Art Schlüsselqualifikation von Akademikern angesehen und gehört deshalb auch zu den Anforderungen, die an ausländische Studienbewerber gestellt werden.

Natürlich könnt ihr das Argumentieren am besten in einem Sprachkurs mit einem guten Lehrer und verschiedenen Diskussionspartnern üben, aber vielleicht wollt ihr zusätzlich zu Hause etwas tun, um z. B. euer Themenspektrum zu erweitern.

Ich habe mir deshalb überlegt, dass ich euch hier Argumentationsthemen vorstelle, zu denen ihr euch Pro- und Contra-Argumente überlegen könnt und habe natürlich nur solche Themen ausgewählt, die so oder so ähnlich auch in einer Hochschulzugangsprüfung vorkommen könnten.

Ihr solltet dabei zu jedem Thema innerhalb von zwei bis drei Minuten jeweils (mindestens) zwei Pro- bzw. Contra-Argumente finden – eine gute Übung zur Prüfungsvorbereitung.

Länger solltet ihr übrigens nicht brauchen, denn auch in der Prüfung werdet ihr unter ständigem Zeitmangel leiden. Also haltet eine Uhr bereit.

Sat / act prep online guides and tips, 3 strong argumentative essay examples, analyzed.

General Education

Need to defend your opinion on an issue? Argumentative essays are one of the most popular types of essays you’ll write in school. They combine persuasive arguments with fact-based research, and, when done well, can be powerful tools for making someone agree with your point of view. If you’re struggling to write an argumentative essay or just want to learn more about them, seeing examples can be a big help.

After giving an overview of this type of essay, we provide three argumentative essay examples. After each essay, we explain in-depth how the essay was structured, what worked, and where the essay could be improved. We end with tips for making your own argumentative essay as strong as possible.

What Is an Argumentative Essay?

An argumentative essay is an essay that uses evidence and facts to support the claim it’s making. Its purpose is to persuade the reader to agree with the argument being made.

A good argumentative essay will use facts and evidence to support the argument, rather than just the author’s thoughts and opinions. For example, say you wanted to write an argumentative essay stating that Charleston, SC is a great destination for families. You couldn’t just say that it’s a great place because you took your family there and enjoyed it. For it to be an argumentative essay, you need to have facts and data to support your argument, such as the number of child-friendly attractions in Charleston, special deals you can get with kids, and surveys of people who visited Charleston as a family and enjoyed it. The first argument is based entirely on feelings, whereas the second is based on evidence that can be proven.

The standard five paragraph format is common, but not required, for argumentative essays. These essays typically follow one of two formats: the Toulmin model or the Rogerian model.

• The Toulmin model is the most common. It begins with an introduction, follows with a thesis/claim, and gives data and evidence to support that claim. This style of essay also includes rebuttals of counterarguments.
• The Rogerian model analyzes two sides of an argument and reaches a conclusion after weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each.

3 Good Argumentative Essay Examples + Analysis

Below are three examples of argumentative essays, written by yours truly in my school days, as well as analysis of what each did well and where it could be improved.

Argumentative Essay Example 1

Proponents of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books; they can simply rent out as many digital copies as they need.

However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous health problems, including blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, and eye strain, at much higher instances than reading print does. People who use tablets and mobile devices excessively also have a higher incidence of more serious health issues such as fibromyalgia, shoulder and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle strain. I know that whenever I read from my e-reader for too long, my eyes begin to feel tired and my neck hurts. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.

Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for toddlers and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a Pew survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.

While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the myriad issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.

The author begins by giving an overview of the counter-argument, then the thesis appears as the first sentence in the third paragraph. The essay then spends the rest of the paper dismantling the counter argument and showing why readers should believe the other side.

What this essay does well:

• Although it’s a bit unusual to have the thesis appear fairly far into the essay, it works because, once the thesis is stated, the rest of the essay focuses on supporting it since the counter-argument has already been discussed earlier in the paper.
• This essay includes numerous facts and cites studies to support its case. By having specific data to rely on, the author’s argument is stronger and readers will be more inclined to agree with it.
• For every argument the other side makes, the author makes sure to refute it and follow up with why her opinion is the stronger one. In order to make a strong argument, it’s important to dismantle the other side, which this essay does this by making the author's view appear stronger.
• This is a shorter paper, and if it needed to be expanded to meet length requirements, it could include more examples and go more into depth with them, such as by explaining specific cases where people benefited from local libraries.
• Additionally, while the paper uses lots of data, the author also mentions their own experience with using tablets. This should be removed since argumentative essays focus on facts and data to support an argument, not the author’s own opinion or experiences. Replacing that with more data on health issues associated with screen time would strengthen the essay.
• Some of the points made aren't completely accurate , particularly the one about digital books being cheaper. It actually often costs a library more money to rent out numerous digital copies of a book compared to buying a single physical copy. Make sure in your own essay you thoroughly research each of the points and rebuttals you make, otherwise you'll look like you don't know the issue that well.

Argumentative Essay Example 2

There are multiple drugs available to treat malaria, and many of them work well and save lives, but malaria eradication programs that focus too much on them and not enough on prevention haven’t seen long-term success in Sub-Saharan Africa. A major program to combat malaria was WHO’s Global Malaria Eradication Programme. Started in 1955, it had a goal of eliminating malaria in Africa within the next ten years. Based upon previously successful programs in Brazil and the United States, the program focused mainly on vector control. This included widely distributing chloroquine and spraying large amounts of DDT. More than one billion dollars was spent trying to abolish malaria. However, the program suffered from many problems and in 1969, WHO was forced to admit that the program had not succeeded in eradicating malaria. The number of people in Sub-Saharan Africa who contracted malaria as well as the number of malaria deaths had actually increased over 10% during the time the program was active.

One of the major reasons for the failure of the project was that it set uniform strategies and policies. By failing to consider variations between governments, geography, and infrastructure, the program was not nearly as successful as it could have been. Sub-Saharan Africa has neither the money nor the infrastructure to support such an elaborate program, and it couldn’t be run the way it was meant to. Most African countries don't have the resources to send all their people to doctors and get shots, nor can they afford to clear wetlands or other malaria prone areas. The continent’s spending per person for eradicating malaria was just a quarter of what Brazil spent. Sub-Saharan Africa simply can’t rely on a plan that requires more money, infrastructure, and expertise than they have to spare.

Additionally, the widespread use of chloroquine has created drug resistant parasites which are now plaguing Sub-Saharan Africa. Because chloroquine was used widely but inconsistently, mosquitoes developed resistance, and chloroquine is now nearly completely ineffective in Sub-Saharan Africa, with over 95% of mosquitoes resistant to it. As a result, newer, more expensive drugs need to be used to prevent and treat malaria, which further drives up the cost of malaria treatment for a region that can ill afford it.

Instead of developing plans to treat malaria after the infection has incurred, programs should focus on preventing infection from occurring in the first place. Not only is this plan cheaper and more effective, reducing the number of people who contract malaria also reduces loss of work/school days which can further bring down the productivity of the region.

One of the cheapest and most effective ways of preventing malaria is to implement insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs).  These nets provide a protective barrier around the person or people using them. While untreated bed nets are still helpful, those treated with insecticides are much more useful because they stop mosquitoes from biting people through the nets, and they help reduce mosquito populations in a community, thus helping people who don’t even own bed nets.  Bed nets are also very effective because most mosquito bites occur while the person is sleeping, so bed nets would be able to drastically reduce the number of transmissions during the night. In fact, transmission of malaria can be reduced by as much as 90% in areas where the use of ITNs is widespread. Because money is so scarce in Sub-Saharan Africa, the low cost is a great benefit and a major reason why the program is so successful. Bed nets cost roughly 2 USD to make, last several years, and can protect two adults. Studies have shown that, for every 100-1000 more nets are being used, one less child dies of malaria. With an estimated 300 million people in Africa not being protected by mosquito nets, there’s the potential to save three million lives by spending just a few dollars per person.

Reducing the number of people who contract malaria would also reduce poverty levels in Africa significantly, thus improving other aspects of society like education levels and the economy. Vector control is more effective than treatment strategies because it means fewer people are getting sick. When fewer people get sick, the working population is stronger as a whole because people are not put out of work from malaria, nor are they caring for sick relatives. Malaria-afflicted families can typically only harvest 40% of the crops that healthy families can harvest. Additionally, a family with members who have malaria spends roughly a quarter of its income treatment, not including the loss of work they also must deal with due to the illness. It’s estimated that malaria costs Africa 12 billion USD in lost income every year. A strong working population creates a stronger economy, which Sub-Saharan Africa is in desperate need of.  

This essay begins with an introduction, which ends with the thesis (that malaria eradication plans in Sub-Saharan Africa should focus on prevention rather than treatment). The first part of the essay lays out why the counter argument (treatment rather than prevention) is not as effective, and the second part of the essay focuses on why prevention of malaria is the better path to take.

• The thesis appears early, is stated clearly, and is supported throughout the rest of the essay. This makes the argument clear for readers to understand and follow throughout the essay.
• There’s lots of solid research in this essay, including specific programs that were conducted and how successful they were, as well as specific data mentioned throughout. This evidence helps strengthen the author’s argument.
• The author makes a case for using expanding bed net use over waiting until malaria occurs and beginning treatment, but not much of a plan is given for how the bed nets would be distributed or how to ensure they’re being used properly. By going more into detail of what she believes should be done, the author would be making a stronger argument.
• The introduction of the essay does a good job of laying out the seriousness of the problem, but the conclusion is short and abrupt. Expanding it into its own paragraph would give the author a final way to convince readers of her side of the argument.

Argumentative Essay Example 3

There are many ways payments could work. They could be in the form of a free-market approach, where athletes are able to earn whatever the market is willing to pay them, it could be a set amount of money per athlete, or student athletes could earn income from endorsements, autographs, and control of their likeness, similar to the way top Olympians earn money.

Proponents of the idea believe that, because college athletes are the ones who are training, participating in games, and bringing in audiences, they should receive some sort of compensation for their work. If there were no college athletes, the NCAA wouldn’t exist, college coaches wouldn’t receive there (sometimes very high) salaries, and brands like Nike couldn’t profit from college sports. In fact, the NCAA brings in roughly $1 billion in revenue a year, but college athletes don’t receive any of that money in the form of a paycheck. Additionally, people who believe college athletes should be paid state that paying college athletes will actually encourage them to remain in college longer and not turn pro as quickly, either by giving them a way to begin earning money in college or requiring them to sign a contract stating they’ll stay at the university for a certain number of years while making an agreed-upon salary.  

Supporters of this idea point to Zion Williamson, the Duke basketball superstar, who, during his freshman year, sustained a serious knee injury. Many argued that, even if he enjoyed playing for Duke, it wasn’t worth risking another injury and ending his professional career before it even began for a program that wasn’t paying him. Williamson seems to have agreed with them and declared his eligibility for the NCAA draft later that year. If he was being paid, he may have stayed at Duke longer. In fact, roughly a third of student athletes surveyed stated that receiving a salary while in college would make them “strongly consider” remaining collegiate athletes longer before turning pro.

Paying athletes could also stop the recruitment scandals that have plagued the NCAA. In 2018, the NCAA stripped the University of Louisville's men's basketball team of its 2013 national championship title because it was discovered coaches were using sex workers to entice recruits to join the team. There have been dozens of other recruitment scandals where college athletes and recruits have been bribed with anything from having their grades changed, to getting free cars, to being straight out bribed. By paying college athletes and putting their salaries out in the open, the NCAA could end the illegal and underhanded ways some schools and coaches try to entice athletes to join.

People who argue against the idea of paying college athletes believe the practice could be disastrous for college sports. By paying athletes, they argue, they’d turn college sports into a bidding war, where only the richest schools could afford top athletes, and the majority of schools would be shut out from developing a talented team (though some argue this already happens because the best players often go to the most established college sports programs, who typically pay their coaches millions of dollars per year). It could also ruin the tight camaraderie of many college teams if players become jealous that certain teammates are making more money than they are.

They also argue that paying college athletes actually means only a small fraction would make significant money. Out of the 350 Division I athletic departments, fewer than a dozen earn any money. Nearly all the money the NCAA makes comes from men’s football and basketball, so paying college athletes would make a small group of men--who likely will be signed to pro teams and begin making millions immediately out of college--rich at the expense of other players.

Those against paying college athletes also believe that the athletes are receiving enough benefits already. The top athletes already receive scholarships that are worth tens of thousands per year, they receive free food/housing/textbooks, have access to top medical care if they are injured, receive top coaching, get travel perks and free gear, and can use their time in college as a way to capture the attention of professional recruiters. No other college students receive anywhere near as much from their schools.

People on this side also point out that, while the NCAA brings in a massive amount of money each year, it is still a non-profit organization. How? Because over 95% of those profits are redistributed to its members’ institutions in the form of scholarships, grants, conferences, support for Division II and Division III teams, and educational programs. Taking away a significant part of that revenue would hurt smaller programs that rely on that money to keep running.

While both sides have good points, it’s clear that the negatives of paying college athletes far outweigh the positives. College athletes spend a significant amount of time and energy playing for their school, but they are compensated for it by the scholarships and perks they receive. Adding a salary to that would result in a college athletic system where only a small handful of athletes (those likely to become millionaires in the professional leagues) are paid by a handful of schools who enter bidding wars to recruit them, while the majority of student athletics and college athletic programs suffer or even shut down for lack of money. Continuing to offer the current level of benefits to student athletes makes it possible for as many people to benefit from and enjoy college sports as possible.

This argumentative essay follows the Rogerian model. It discusses each side, first laying out multiple reasons people believe student athletes should be paid, then discussing reasons why the athletes shouldn’t be paid. It ends by stating that college athletes shouldn’t be paid by arguing that paying them would destroy college athletics programs and cause them to have many of the issues professional sports leagues have.

• Both sides of the argument are well developed, with multiple reasons why people agree with each side. It allows readers to get a full view of the argument and its nuances.
• Certain statements on both sides are directly rebuffed in order to show where the strengths and weaknesses of each side lie and give a more complete and sophisticated look at the argument.
• Using the Rogerian model can be tricky because oftentimes you don’t explicitly state your argument until the end of the paper. Here, the thesis doesn’t appear until the first sentence of the final paragraph. That doesn’t give readers a lot of time to be convinced that your argument is the right one, compared to a paper where the thesis is stated in the beginning and then supported throughout the paper. This paper could be strengthened if the final paragraph was expanded to more fully explain why the author supports the view, or if the paper had made it clearer that paying athletes was the weaker argument throughout.

3 Tips for Writing a Good Argumentative Essay

Now that you’ve seen examples of what good argumentative essay samples look like, follow these three tips when crafting your own essay.

#1: Make Your Thesis Crystal Clear

The thesis is the key to your argumentative essay; if it isn’t clear or readers can’t find it easily, your entire essay will be weak as a result. Always make sure that your thesis statement is easy to find. The typical spot for it is the final sentence of the introduction paragraph, but if it doesn’t fit in that spot for your essay, try to at least put it as the first or last sentence of a different paragraph so it stands out more.

Also make sure that your thesis makes clear what side of the argument you’re on. After you’ve written it, it’s a great idea to show your thesis to a couple different people--classmates are great for this. Just by reading your thesis they should be able to understand what point you’ll be trying to make with the rest of your essay.

#2: Show Why the Other Side Is Weak

When writing your essay, you may be tempted to ignore the other side of the argument and just focus on your side, but don’t do this. The best argumentative essays really tear apart the other side to show why readers shouldn’t believe it. Before you begin writing your essay, research what the other side believes, and what their strongest points are. Then, in your essay, be sure to mention each of these and use evidence to explain why they’re incorrect/weak arguments. That’ll make your essay much more effective than if you only focused on your side of the argument.

#3: Use Evidence to Support Your Side

Remember, an essay can’t be an argumentative essay if it doesn’t support its argument with evidence. For every point you make, make sure you have facts to back it up. Some examples are previous studies done on the topic, surveys of large groups of people, data points, etc. There should be lots of numbers in your argumentative essay that support your side of the argument. This will make your essay much stronger compared to only relying on your own opinions to support your argument.

Summary: Argumentative Essay Sample

Argumentative essays are persuasive essays that use facts and evidence to support their side of the argument. Most argumentative essays follow either the Toulmin model or the Rogerian model. By reading good argumentative essay examples, you can learn how to develop your essay and provide enough support to make readers agree with your opinion. When writing your essay, remember to always make your thesis clear, show where the other side is weak, and back up your opinion with data and evidence.

The Secret To Creating A Good 9th Grade Argumentative Essay.

It is quite common for many teenage students to face some form and degree of frustration with completing certain assignments or fully understanding basic concepts that are taught in school. Due to the rise in concern parents and teachers have regarding this issue there are various corporations that popped up just to offer solutions to needy pupils. There is nothing really wrong with going to these sources of academic relief unless your specific educational institute disallows it.

Many say that the secret to creating an excellent argumentative article pivots on the ability of a student to follow the protocols and regulations governing the assignment but I see a few avenues that can aid a student in achieving a successful academic career. I will present these points immediately following these opening remarks and hope that the increase your knowledge of essay writing. Although this article is tailored for 9th grade pupils it can still hold relevance for freshmen and juniors alike.

• Do not rely solely on your understanding and information on the specifics of the topic.

The reason this point is even here is because there are many students who stubbornly choose to create a composition with just the information they naturally have and subsequently present a poor assignment. Please do some research because you may never know how much you really know about a topic unless you read up on it.

• Draft out a simplified version of your paper before actually starting.

Crafting a draft of the proceedings you have decided to go with should be made so as to guide you through the development of your paper. Ensure that you include all the segments and any changes you have made to the original plans.

• Research the few variations and modification options provided to further increase your chances of success.

There is no escaping from the use of the specific rules and regulations prescribed by the education system so do not rebel against the system.

• Work on your introduction and conclusion simultaneously to have them matched perfectly.

When the conclusion and introduction gets worked on simultaneously the student can easily write them to appropriately communicate the details of your work. This is a trick seldom known by many students so go spread the news.

• Back your claims with proof and truth that can be verified by anyone.

Because the background of these assignments are rooted in the sciences mostly it is a good idea to use numerical values and quotations of persons in authority to further validate your claims.

Australia – the land down under

1. Facts about the smallest continent

1.1 General Facts

The Commonwealth of Australia is the sixth largest (nearly 7.7 million km²) nation of the world after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil, but it is the only nation to govern an entire continent with its outlying islands. Australia has an estimated population of 22,669,623 (2011), which is rather small in comparison to its size. However, it is one of the most important economies in the world.

Australia’s political system is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy . The monarch is Queen Elisabeth II; head of state is Julian Gillard. The Australian federation consists of six States (Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania) and two Territories (Australia Capital Territory and Northern Territory). Most inland borders follow lines of longitude and latitude. Australia lies between 10° and 39° South latitude. The highest point is Mount Kosciusko in New South Wales, only 2228 metres. The lowest point is 15 metres below sea level at Lake Eyre in South Australia.

The largest State, Western Australia, is about the same size as Western Europe. Australia is one of the world’s most urbanised countries, with about 70 % of the population living in the 10 largest cities. Most of the population is concentrated along the Eastern seaboard and the South-Eastern corner of the continent. The capital of Australia is Canberra; the most known cities are Sydney, the largest city, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane. The longest rivers are the Darling River and the Murray River. Since Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, water is very important. Its interior has one of the lowest precipitations (rainfalls) in the world. Australia offers extreme variations in climate, from tropical to temperate. From November until March, the European winter, it is generally hot everywhere. The North is tropical with high temperatures in summer and Wet Season, including heavy rain and cyclones, from January on. From April till September there is occasional rain in the South which can be particularly heavy. From June until August and early September it is winter season. In the South-East there is even snow in the mountains. However, most Australians have never seen snow in their lives.

1.2 History

Australia’s national day, Australia Day, on 26 January, marks the date in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip (British Royal Navy) commanding a fleet of 11 ships, sailed into Port Jackson. Phillip formally took possession of the Eastern part of the continent for England and established a settlement, known as Sydney today. Before the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples inhabited most areas of the Australian continent. Each peoples spoke one or more of hundreds of separate languages, with lifestyles and cultural traditions that differed according to the region in which they lived in. Their complex social systems and highly developed traditions reflect a deep connection with the land and environment.

The first recorded European contact with Australia was in March 1606, when Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon (c.1570 - 1630) charted the West coast of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. Later that year, the Spanish explorer Luís Vaz de Torres (c. 1565; 1607) sailed through the strait separating Australia and Papua New Guinea, which is now known as the Torres Strait. Over the next two centuries, European explorers and traders continued to chart the coastline of “New Holland”. In 1688, William Dampier (c. 1651 – 1715), buccaneer and scientific observer, became the first British explorer to land on the Australian coast. It was not until 1770 that another Englishman, Captain James Cook (c. 1728 – 1779), aboard the Endeavour, took a scientific journey to the South Pacific in order to check the East coast of Australia and claim it for the British Crown.

Soon, Britain decided to use its new outpost as a penal colony; the First Fleet of 11 ships carried about 1500 people — half of them were convicts. The fleet arrived in Sydney Harbour on 26 January, 1788. This date is celebrated annually as Australia Day. About 160 000 men and women were brought to Australia as convicts from 1788 until the end of transportation in 1868. They were joined by free immigrants from the early 1790s on. The wool industry and the gold rushes of the 1850s were a huge incentive for free settlers to migrate to Australia.

The Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901 through the federation of six states under a single constitution. The non-Indigenous population at the time of Federation was 3.8 million. The founders of the New Nation believed they were creating something new and were concerned to avoid the pitfalls of the Old World. They wanted Australia to be harmonious, united and egalitarian, and had progressive ideas about human rights, democratic procedures and the value of a secret ballot.

The First World War had a devastating impact on Australia. In 1914 the male population of Australia was less than 3 million, yet almost 400 000 of them volunteered to fight in the war. As many as 60 000 died and tens of thousands more were wounded. During the Second World War Australian forces made a significant contribution to the allied victory in Europe and in Asia and the Pacific. Today, Australia is one of the most cosmopolitan, tolerant and dynamic societies in the world. English is the main language but more than 200 languages are spoken in Australia. Australian English differs in many ways from BE and it can be rather difficult for tourists to understand the Australian accents.

1.3 Aborigines

The Aborigines are the largest group of the so-called Indigenous Australians, including the Torres Strait Islanders. The Aboriginal society is not a single entity but has different modes of subsistence, cultural practices, languages, and technologies. They are the original inhabitants of Australia, having lived there for around 40,000 years. There are a large number of different tribes among Aborigines and numerous languages are spoken. However, their spiritual values are based on the reverence for their land.

When the British Colonisation began in Sydney in 1788, many Aborigines died within a few weeks because of epidemic diseases brought in by the British. The second consequence of the British settlement was the appropriation of land and water resources. The combination of disease, loss of land and direct violence reduced the Aboriginal population by an estimated 90% between 1788 and 1900. Today, the Indigenous population is slightly increasing annually.

They have to face a lot of problems, partially implicated in the racial inequality: low income, poor education, and substance abuse (smoking, alcohol, illicit drugs). Furthermore, remote communities suffer from poor access to health services, including immunisation. Urbanised Aborigines are exposed to violence and discrimination, and face social pressures which prevent access to health services. Indigenous students as a group leave school earlier, and have a lower standard of education, compared to their non-indigenous peers, although the situation is slowly improving. As a result, an Aboriginal Australian is almost three times more likely to be unemployed than a non-Aboriginal Australian.

1.4 Economy

The Australian Dollar is also the official currency of the Christmas Islands, Cocos Keeling Islands, and Norfolk Island as well as some Pacific Island States. Australia has had one of the most outstanding economies of the world in recent years. It has a high-growth and low-inflation economy with a low rate of poverty. There is an efficient government sector, a flexible labour market, and a very competitive business sector. It is more vibrant than ever before. Australia has enjoyed a high standard of living since the nineteenth century. It has made large investments in social infrastructure, including education, training, health and transportation. Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters for coal, wool, sheep and mineral sands, and is also important in exports like lamb, beef, cereals and nickel. Japan remains Australia's largest single export market.

1.5 Immigration

Australia's culturally diverse society includes its Indigenous peoples and settlers from countries all around the world. Australia’s lifestyle reflects mainly Western origins, but is also a multicultural society which has been enriched by over six million settlers from almost 200 nations. Four out of ten Australians are migrants or the first-generation children of migrants, half of them from non-English speaking backgrounds.

1.6. School System

Australia is one country and one nation, but the education systems vary greatly across different states and territories. In the Australian Capital Territory children go to Primary School if aged 5 or turning 5 on or before 30th April of that year. Primary School includes Years 1 to 6. Secondary School begins in Year 7 and ends after Year 12. Secondary students who continue through the post-compulsory years will receive a Year 12 Certificate which lists all subjects and results achieved. For those eligible there will also be a Tertiary Entrance Statement. The system of the Northern Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland differs. Children must be four years old by the last day of December in the year before they enter Primary School. A child can be placed on waiting lists at a Preschool during the year the child turns three. Preschool aims to ease the transition into Primary School using active learning techniques. They will continue from Year 8 to Year 12 at Secondary School. School is generally compulsory only until Year 10; some pupils find employment others continue until year 12. In South Australia Pre-school starts from the ages of 3 or 4 depending on the date of birth and the level of development. During the two senior post-compulsory years (year 11 and 12) students will be encouraged to strive for the South Australian Certificate of Education. In Tasmania one can send a child to Kindergarten if that child turns 4 on or before January 1st in the year they start. A child that turns 5 on or before the 1st January must start school that year. Here, children start in the Preparatory Year. Primary School is from Year 1 to Year 6. High School takes place from Years 7 to 12. Students who want to continue education will take subjects that contribute to the Tasmanian Certificate of Education. Home Schooling is available to all children across all States and Territories of Australia. Home Schooling offers parents and guardians an alternative to state or private schooling. Parents take on the primary responsibility for their child's education. This should not be mistaken with distance education, in which children are educated by an educational institution.

1.7 Famous sights

Ayers Rock One of the most famous sights of Australia is “Uluru”, the Ayers Rock. It is a large sandstone rock formation in the Northern Territory. To the local Indigenous Australians it has a great spiritual significance. For other Australians and tourists it is a popular attraction. Aborigines request that visitors do not climb the rock. This is partly due to the path crossing a sacred traditional track, and also to a sense of responsibility for the safety of the visitors. The Aborigines believe they have a spiritual connection to Uluru, and feel great sadness when a person dies or is injured whilst climbing. Sydney Opera House The Danish architect Jorn Utzon designed the building. Lying of the first stone was in 1959; years before all designs were finished. By 1962 the designs were completed and construction began. It took 14 years in total to build and was officially opened on the 20th of October, 1973 by Queen Elizabeth II. The Sydney Opera House is a fascinating building and it is the heart of the city's cultural life. It opened with a concert hall, an opera theatre, a drama theatre and a recital hall, as well as restaurants and bars. A fifth theatre was added in 1998. To mention all of the many famous sights would go beyond the scope of this introduction. (Words: 1958)

2. Vocabulary 

3. Questions on the text

1) In the first passage you get a lot of facts about the land down under. Sum up these facts in your own words and try to find some more general information about the State by means of the internet. 2) Would you like to live in Australia? Discuss the pros and cons. 3) Try to find out more information about the living conditions of the Aborigines nowadays. Then write about it and describe your own attitude towards these people. 4) Try to compare the Australian School System with the German School System.

What does it tell you about the Australian mentality?

4. How to write a comment

Useful words and phrases

Here are some tips how to write a comment:

• Read the phrase or article you want comment on and make notes.
• How do you feel about what was said?
• Do you agree or disagree?
• Have you had any own experiences?
• Have you read or heard anything that applies to what is said?
• Write the thesis statement first (agree/disagree).
• Develop your ideas by giving examples, quotations, and details.
• Do not repeat ideas and sentences!
• Make sure your writing supports your thesis!
• Write your introduction and summary.
• Reread the entire text paying attention to language, spelling and logic of your text.

5. Describing photos

Somewhere in Australia! Write a story around a typical Australian photo of your choice.

Useful phrases :

6. Getting Information

Sometimes it can be difficult to sum up the information of a text. Try to stay calm when you have to write a summery. First have a look at the headlines and – if possible – at the photos, so that you get a first impression of what the text may be about! Then read the entire text carefully. It is better to read it twice. Do not look up every new word in the dictionary – try to understand the sense of the text as a whole. It is advisable to underline the most important facts, and then sum them up in your own words.

If you have to write your own texts you often will have the feeling that you MUST use a German-English dictionary because you do not know how to express certain things in English. Try to write without the use of a dictionary, if possible. Do not translate directly from German into English. Try to find different words or describe a term if you do not know the English word. For example: if you do not remember the word for “cook” you can write “he/she works in a kitchen”.

There are always a lot of possibilities to translate a certain word. You have to find the best one according to the context. Pay attention to the prepositions because they are often different in English!
