Parts of an Argumentative Essay
1. Introduction
It is the first paragraph which introduces the problem and gives
the background information necessary for the argument and the
thesis statement or the main claim. It presents an issue that is
debatable.
Thesis statement is a short, one-sentence summary of your stand or
claim. Primarily, it is a part of your introduction.
2. Body
Normally, the body contains three (3) or more paragraphs. Each
paragraph talks about one reason. The reason is stated in the topic
sentence and is supported by supporting details or materials. These
supporting materials can be either examples, statistics, personal
experiences, or quotations.
3. Conclusion
The conclusion is the last paragraph which appeals to the
reader’s emotions. It restates the thesis statement or the main claim
and presents one or two general statements which accurately
summarize the arguments which support your stand.
Based on the sample argumentative text that you have read, study the diagram on
the next page on the essential statements which composed the parts of argumentative
essay.

Light in the Time of the Pandemic
Dalyn T. Pillada
Yes, indeed, it is a very painful smack… because we all need to wake up.
8
We are all too immersed in chasing our goals, seeking our happiness and
fulfilling our greed that we neglect our duties as stewards of the Earth. We became
selfish beasts that abuse the environment, destroy the habitats of other organisms
and threaten their existence. We forgot that everything in nature is interconnected
thus, the smallest invisible part of nature – the virus – has reminded us. Indeed, the
COVID 19-induced lockdown put the planet at rest and allowed nature to heal itself.
With limited human interactions, the wildlife rumbles out liberated which is
manifested by the reported sightings of animals on once human-occupied spaces.
Furthermore, the decrease on transport vehicles and shut down of factories and
industries have also resulted to significant environmental benefits. Various articles
and scientific studies tackle the recovery of the Earth’s ozone layer shown by
increased Ozone (O3) concentration; intense decline in concentration of particulate
matter, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2); and 40-50% improvement
observed in the water quality.
Lastly, COVID 19 definitely had a significant effect on our sense of being. This
pandemic made us understand what really matters and recognize what we have. We’ve
never been too grateful for our lives before, but now, waking up everyday has become
a blessing because of all the reported deaths worldwide. This COVID 19-induced
lockdown has also become the time of personal development through solitude and
meditations that gave us time to think critically, opening new perspectives. There are
a lot of individuals who found their creativity during lockdown and paved the way
towards great opportunities for them. Eventually, the most valuable gift of this
pandemic is time--time to build ourselves and develop a positive attitude.
This traumatic scourge seems to be too dark, but it’s never erroneous to see its
silver lining. It’s not about the over-used resilience of the Filipinos, it’s about new
perspective. The perspective that urges us not to let ourselves be swallowed by
anxiousness but to create a space for positivity and change within ourselves and
community.
So, would we let this 360-degree turn disable us with the slowing world? Or
would we allow its lessons to educate us to keep going and equip ourselves in taking
part on making a better world?

Introductory Message
Welcome to English 10!
The English 10 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.
23
Quarter 3, Week 2
After going through this lesson, you should be able to use a variety of informative,
persuasive and argumentative writing techniques.
For your reference, the content can be found in Grade 10 English Learner’s
Material (Celebrating Diversity through World Literature) published by the
Department of Education.
24
techniques suited for informative, argumentative or persuasive essay.
1. Informative Writing
Informative essays are a type of writing that explains a certain
problem or a topic. An informative writer should always maintain an
objective, neutral tone throughout the essay, or they shouldn’t try to argue
one side over another. The author of an informative essay is kind of like a
reporter at a newspaper: only there to state the facts, not to offer any sort of
opinion. In this type of an essay, the writer should refrain from pointing out
his personal ideas and beliefs.
2. Persuasive Writing
This is the type of essay where you try to convince the reader to adopt
your position on an issue or point of view.
Here your rationale, your argument, is most important. You are
presenting an opinion and trying to persuade readers, you want to win
readers over to your point of view.
• Know your audience. If you want to convince readers to believe and
agree with you, know who you’re talking to first. For example, if you’re
writing a persuasive letter about why cellphone must be banned in the
school campus, should your audience will likely be students: Keep that
in mind when writing to your targeted demographic.
• Hook the reader’s attention. A persuasive writer should state their
opinion with a declarative statement that clearly expresses their point of
view. Starting with a fact, research findings, or any other evidence that
explicitly states information supportive of your thesis will immediately
clue the reader in to what the essay will be about, what your position is,
and if they’re interested enough to read on to see if they’ll be on your
side.
• Be empathetic. An excellent persuasion technique is the use of empathy.
A reader will strongly believe if they feel like you can relate to and
understand their experiences. Emotional appeal is important for
persuasive writing, as it targets the audience’s sensitivities, while also
providing a logical explanation for why their beliefs should change.
25
3. Argumentative Writing
This is the type of essay where you confirm that your opinion, theory
or hypothesis about an issue is correct or more reliable than those of others.
In short, it is very similar to the persuasive essay, but the difference is that
you are arguing for your opinion as opposed to others, rather than directly
trying to persuade someone to adopt your point of view.

Activity 2

that follow. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Informative Essay
Wooden-hulled pump boats will always be one of Guimaras’ icon – the easiest means of
transportation in going to Iloilo City apart from the Roll-on - Roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessels.
Basically, it can accommodate 35 to 40 passengers from either Jordan or Buenavista
wharves to Iloilo City and vice versa. Employees from Iloilo City working at Guimaras
need not worry about getting late to school or to work since there is ease of access and
availability of bancas or wooden boats, then.
However, with the a mass number of COVID-19 victims, and the toll getting higher still,
the usual number of passengers were trimmed down into half yet, the conventional
27
travel time of 15 to 20 minutes under fair weather conditions still stands true.
Moreover, at the onset of 2021, these said motorboats are nowhere in sight since the
Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr)
did not renew their Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC).
This heartbreaking move left almost 400 motorboat crews unemployed – lost their main
source of income, in as much as their respective families are struggling for survival even
in providing for their basic needs; 91 wooden-hulled boats were phased-out.
Questions:
1. What is the main topic?
2. Does the essay inform the reader? In what way?
3. Discuss the reasons why the informative writing technique was used by
accomplishing the diagram below:

Persuasive Essay
Convention or Modernization?
With the tragic accident in August 3, 2019 that claimed 31 lives, Maritime Industry
Authority (MARINA) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) geared at fully
implementing the law which provides the use of the modernized sea vessel that can
battle rough seas and withstand strong winds especially during inclement weathers.
The Presidential Decree No. 474, Executive Order No. 125, as amended, Republic Act No.
9295 and its revised/amended Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the Manila
Statement on Enhancement of the Safety of Ships Carrying Passengers on Non-
International Voyages through MARINA Memorandum Circular No. 2016 - 02 provides
the implementing rules on the phase out of wooden hulled ships carrying passengers in
domestic shipping.
However, it is very untimely to replace the wooden-hulled boats with the fiber glass and
steel-hulled ones. First, the pandemic if still too far from over. Many Filipinos have lost
their jobs because of this; much more the crews of the 91 wooden-hulled boats that were
not allowed to sail again at the onset of 2021. Their means of living simply rely at
whenever these boats set sail and traverse the Iloilo-Guimaras Strait; this has been their
only bread and butter for decades and with this halt in its operation, it will surely post a
big impact as to their daily survival even on their basic needs and worst, the education
of their children. It must have been painful for both operators, crews and their
respective families to lose their source of living amidst this pandemic.
28
Second, the phasing out of the wooden-hulled units was so abrupt that it even posted
another problem affecting another set of people; the commuters, small-scale business
folks situated at the wharf area and the tricycle drivers. The local government has not
provided emergency ambulant boats to cater the volume of passengers; mostly to work
and for education, that will be affected by the sudden stoppage of operations of the
wooden-hulled units. Long hours were spent in queues with only four modernized boats
plying the Iloilo-Guimaras Strait given the volume of passengers coming in and going out
of the province.
Additionally, with this turn of events, surely, the local economy is highly affected. Small
businesses is directly affected by the increase in fare rate in hauling stocks and supplies
from the city going to the province as compared with the wooden-hulled transport
services. Also, daily commuters earning a minimum wage spares a bigger amount for
fare than before; the thirty pesos before is now fifty and when you have to travel to and
fro on a daily basis , that’s at least a hundred bucks difference in a week! That’s
something already for them.
Lastly, how sure are we that with the modernized fiberglass and steel-hulled units, there
will never be a tragedy at sea? Can we really say that there will never be?
Questions:
1. Were you convinced with the essay? In what way?
2. Cite sentence/s were the writer uses emotional appeal.
3. Give reasons why the persuasive writing technique was used by
accomplishing the diagram below:
Argumentative Essay
Wooden-hulled pump boats were given an extension to continue plying Iloilo-Guimaras
Strait until December, 2020 after the Certificate of Public Convenience expired in
September.
29
For decades, these boats have served thousands of people from all walks of life from all
parts of the world and has aided in boosting the province’s economy.
Having these wooden-hulled boats nowhere in the wharves of Guimaras - Jordan and
Buenavista, the province will never be the same.
