Hello Ankou, First research the topic of your essay. You can use the internet for that or any source of academic databases such as a library. Having gathered enough database ,start analyzing the arguments of your essay. Define claims, write out reasons and mention the pros and contras. Sketch out your essay before straightway writing it out. Use one-line sentences to describe paragraphs, and bullet points to describe what each paragraph will contain. Play with the essay's order. Map out the structure of your argument, and make sure each paragraph is unified. Each individual paragraph should be focused on a single idea that supports your thesis. Begin paragraphs with topic sentences, support assertions with evidence, and expound your ideas in the clearest, most sensible way you can. Speak to your reader as if he or she were sitting in front of you. In other words, instead of writing the essay, try talking the essay End your essay with a conclusion , could be a quotation or a twist of logic. You are not done yet , still you have to polish your language by correcting the grammar, making sentences flow, incorporating rhythm, emphasis, adjusting the formality, giving it a level-headed tone, and making other intuitive edits. Now you are almost done with your essay. Don't forget to be creative and innovative when handling a certain topic. Good luck :)

Very simply... Introduction Body - including points against followed by points for your argument Conclusion

James is right as far as structure is concerned. Introduction - This first paragraph should not only introduce your topic, but it should have your thesis statement. Body - Each paragraph in the body should support your thesis. As James mentioned, sometimes writers mention arguments that appear to disprove the thesis, but the author follows this with an explanation that dismisses the argument or disproves it. Otherwise, you can support the thesis with your own evidence. Conclusion - This last paragraph(s) should be neither a restatement of your thesis nor a regurgitation of all the supporting paragraphs. It should just be a review of how your thesis follows logically from what you've discussed. A great reference for academic writing is the Purdue Online Writing Lab. Here's a link to a page that discusses the general structure for an argumentative essay. I hope it helps. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/685/05/

Or to put it another way... "Tell them what you're going to say. Say it. Then tell them what you said." If you want to flesh out the "say it" part, then one tactic is to discuss the possible options within the question, then declare what your choice/opinion is, then explain why (compared to the options you already discussed). And magically, you have plenty to write!
