Opinion Essay – Can You Persist in your Opinion?

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I would like to start this article straight away with the fact that an opinion essay can be easily confused with an argumentative one. Thus, at this moment your main goal is to learn distinguishing the first kind of the essay from another.

What is the main purpose of writing an opinion essay? Yes, you are right – introducing your opinion on the topic. Yet, just like in the argumentative essay, you will have to demonstrate your ability of supporting your point of view.

Mostly, an opinion essay is necessary for the tutors, who do not know much about the thinking abilities of the students. This kind of work allows the tutors to assess your thinking skills and your capacity to be reasonable.

For instance, from my standpoint everybody needs friends. This is going to be my opinion, which I will support within my essay.

My arguments:

• Without friends any person feels lonely. You can have a family that will always be near throughout your life. Still, a family cannot replace one best friend.
• Friends are people, who can give you a good advice in any situation. I think you will agree that not every trouble or even happy event can be shared with your household, but you urgently need to hear somebody’s opinion. Where can you hear it, if you have no friends?
• Friends can fool around with you just without any particular reason. It often happens that you are in the good mood and you want to make something extraordinary. Together with your friend you will definitely find some good ideas.

So, it was a possible variant of writing an opinion essay.

How should you choose a topic for your opinion essay? It is really not easy. Some people say that it is as difficult as to write the essay in itself. But we do not keep to the same point of view, as we know that it is an overstatement. It is much simpler indeed. And we will prove it to you.

There is a certain simple algorithm which helps the students to choose their opinion essay topics. It offers you to make the following steps:

As your teacher must have pointed the field from which you should choose the topic, you should try to find something that raises a special interest of yours.

After that, you should study the chosen question, and specify your opinion essay topic. However, it is not too important to form your opinion at once. Remember that your attitude should not be reflected on the title of the opinion essay topic.

Try to formulate the topic so that it was attractive, catching and informative. It should be quite brief. And the most difficult task for you is to combine these requirements within it.

Finally, check if your topic is really good. Ask your parents, your fellows, or your teacher. If something is wrong, try to correct it a little, so that the topic would become perfect.

This simple algorithm will help you to create an excellent topic for your opinion essay. Just work on every detail diligently and accurately, and your opinion essay will get a really brilliant topic.
