WHAT IS AN
ARGUMENTATIVE
ESSAY?
a type of essay that presents
arguments about both sides of an
issue. It could be that
both sides are presented equally
balanced, or it could be that one side
is presented more forcefully than the
other. It all depends on the writer,
and what side he supports the most.

THE BENEFITS OF GOING TO SCHOOL
MANY YOUNG PEOPLE SEE GOING TO SCHOOL AS A CHORE AND
ONLY GO BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO, WHILE SOME
WILL EVEN SKIP SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY SEE IT AS BORING AND
UNNECESSARY.
HOWEVER, GOING TO SCHOOL IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR
YOUR CAREER, FUTURE EDUCATION YOU MAY WISH TO PURSUE,
AND SOCIAL AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
TEENAGERS ARE FOREVER BEING TOLD THAT THEY NEED A GOOD
EDUCATION SO THAT THEIR CAN HAVE THE CAREER THEY WANT,
BUT MANY DO NOT LISTEN. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT YOUR SCHOOLING, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT
MAY FEEL, LASTS FOR A JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS COMPARED
TO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AHEAD OF YOU. THEREFORE, IT IS
BETTER TO SACRIFICE A LITTLE BIT OF FUN NOW SO THAT

you can find happiness in later life, as you will be happier if you
can do a job that you enjoy and afford to do the things you want.
Integrally linked to your career is the fact that you will only be
able to achieve a higher
level of education later on if you work hard in school now.
Although at the age of fourteen and fifteen many young people
may not think they want to go to college or university, you don’t
know how this may change as you get older. And with
unemployment among young people in the USA at its highest
since the early 1960’s, you may find that you need a college
degree to secure a good job because there is so much
competition for so few jobs. Many people also decide that they
want to study further when they get a bit older, perhaps after
they have got married and had children, sometimes because
they want a career change as they are not happy, or just to
prove to themselves and others that they can do it.
Those that don’t succeed
in compulsory education will not have the opportunity to even
start many courses because there will be plenty of better-
qualified candidates that also want a place. Finally, school is
the place where you learn a great deal of very important life
skills. From communicating and empathizing with people of
both genders and different ages, to listening to instructions
and following orders, and developing leadership skills. It is not
a coincidence that there is a negative correlation between
criminal offenses and level of education, in all races, ages and
genders all over the world, and one of the main reasons for
this is that the lessons that are learnt in school are so much
more than just academic. So, although most of us only
consider our career when we think about what school may do
for us, the life skills we learn are equally important.
