My idea came from Bill Daly's excellent Argumentative Writing site.

I wanted to put together a similar site but aimed at non-native speakers. with simpler language and shorter essays, particularly targeting intermediate IELTS and TOEFL students.

How to use this site

The essays can be used by themselves (go to Essays) or you can try to write your own from a list of topics. 

If you have time, the best thing to do is to start at the beginning, and go step by step through the procedure for writing an argument essay.
