My teacher told me to not use "I" when writtting an essay
or you
Correct. Your essay should not be in first person.
Or we
So what pronoun can we use lol
@@rainbowsalt1681 You generally do not use pronouns, you can refer to anyone as 'person/persons/people'. I would also avoid they/our/we/them/us
Tomorrow in my class my team has to present an argumentative essay thx a lot it helped me very much for writing the introduction in a different manner rather than just telling the audience which side we are going to argue about.👍
"I" should never be used in an argumentative essay.
Oh good...I got confused if "I" should(okay) actually be used in an argumentative essay... Thanks
For those worried about the informality in this example .... Different fields have different conventions for what counts as "proper essay form". Some forbid the use of first-person ('I will argue that ..."), for example. But this is a matter of style and genre, there are plenty of literary genres where it's okay if used wisely (academic philosophy writing is full of first-person usages). Do what your teachers ask, but just know that there are very few "universal" laws of composition.
Swag 😎

@svue12 I'm not sure I understand the request. This video is just one of a much larger series of video tutorials on how to write an argumentative essay, which you can browse at the url link in the sidebar on the right. In the context of the other tutorials in the series it might make more sense.
awwesome.
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
The fact that this vid was made a little bit after a month after I was born
i have an introduction due in about 2hrs so you know when he gave the example of the hockey fighting-when we tell them what they must expect in the rest of the essay just we actually say “in this essay i will....” must we actually say those words-pls help😂😭
I have GRE exam, should I use first person or third, which one is consider correct?11
Words to never use in an essay
I (or any pronouns)
I think, feel, believe
(It should not be in first person in general )
at 3:16 I paused the video and clicked on another one...
Does anyone have the answer to this I’m kinda struggling just a bit with this question
Deauntai Richard I know that you have to keep your introduction short
My teacher say's i should be "personal", use 'I' and 'I believe' so, is this correct?
No No No professional and academic writing should always written in third person
Joe Jones hey my teacher sort of says that to Joe so I guess we have something in common hu
my teacher told me to not use I while a essay
mine too
This is the thing.
Highly recommended!
I’m a German 9th grader and I have to write an argumentative text 😬😂
Where can I order an essay?
*essays-help.all-about.in* made excellent job and I was very happy with the writer's performance.
@PhilosophyFreak I think he meant 'give examples'.
delet whats it like 8 years later
My question is the introduction to an argumentative essay begins with ?
Normally the statement of the issue, or the reason for the issue.
@@terrispencer4913 can you use a question in the introduction? like saying "is this really the way to go"? and then stating the idea after that?
Of course you can use I in a essay. Have your own judgement.
I wish you were my teacher :/
Are u talking about public speaking notes or essay??????.......
My teacher tells us to try not to say "This essay" why is that?
possibly sounds too informal.
This is where I always have trouble when writing a good essay. usually, teachers give a mediocre example. explains why it is mediocre, very briefly. but NEVER corrects the example. so I'm here with just an idea how to write a mediocre essay and my essay turns to shit. Just give us a really good example or not at all cause it does not help. overall the video was great.

but personal pronouns not allowed!!
then its not an essay
@@jorgerubio152 Personal pronouns are almost never used in actual essays
This "really good" essay its very personal. Apart form some good tips the author uses pronouns like we, I etc.....folks my teacher will immediately fail you if you watch and apply to your essay this strategy. Avoid personal be more indirect and you'll be fine.
this was made 5 days before I was born lol
well I was about to like the video but I'm not going to bother myself from liking it. since you also don't bother to rewrite the introduction for a better example
Thai ladyboys could have done this better
horrible
An argumentative essay is an essay that uses evidence and facts to support the claim it's making. Its purpose is to persuade the reader to agree with the argument being made. A good argumentative essay will use facts and evidence to support the argument, rather than just the author's thoughts and opinions. In the first paragraph of an argument essay, students should set the context by reviewing the topic in a general way. Next the author should explain why the topic is important (exigence) or why readers should care about the issue. Lastly, students should present the thesis statement.
