I learned a few things when taught about how to write a proper argument essay, such as the introduction and body paragraph. The most interesting way to start an introduction is with a hook, which is the first sentence that catches your readers attention. To me, I would start a hook with a question in order for my audience to understand my topic and argument. In addition, by asking questions towards my readers, they will have a better understanding of my essay because they will be more engaged when reading and relate to my essay. Recently, I was introduced with a new way to catch my readers attention, which is storytelling. Storytelling is more better than my old technique, although it’s personal and it helps structure the introduction paragraph. In my essay, “Gender Differences in Playing Video Games,” I talked about how my brother was addictive to video games and how he would rather play video games than doing other important tasks, such as homework and chores. By providing a real life situation in my essay, my audience will have a better understand of how addictive video games are because many of my readers can relate to my brother.You see there is nothing wrong adding a little spice of your personal experience for your readers to see.

  Another technique I was introduced was to be more specific when providing details. Going deeper with your details instead of being vague was what I struggled with in my writing. After hearing other people’s essays and my processor explaining with examples, I understood how I am suppose to tell my details.It’s all about describing, time and explaining my ideas further. The specifics on detail is important and gives the readers more of a visual on what is being talked about. Thanks to other people’s perspectives and hand helping techniques, I am now able to keep my readers entertained throughout my essay and wanting to know more. These techniques helped improve my writing and made my essay stronger for my audience.
