About this site
This site was written as an assignment for a University of Southern
Queensland online course in May 2003. You can find more information about
USQ's excellent online courses here.
My idea came from Bill Daly's excellent
Argumentative Writing site. Not the most
attractive site, but it meets a real need - over 500,000 visitors in
the last five years.
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.
