In an argument essay, it is imperative to show that you can see 2 sides to an argument.
The introduction should state the hypothesis, e.g. smoking is harmful to society.
It is best in the second paragraph to give the opposite of your own point of view, e.g. smoking can be defended in terms of personal freedom of choice.
Then in the third paragraph, state the converse, i.e. your viewpoint, e.g. while smoking in private can perhaps be defended as a personal lifestyle choice, it is indefensible in public places; make sure you state forcibly why.
In a brief conclusion, state both sides of the argument but make your own view clear, as evidence of analysis & critical thinking.
