Read the introduction from an argumentative essay. Think about the number of chores you do in any given week. According to a rec
ent newspaper article, robots may soon be doing your chores for you. Robots also may be taking over more "human” roles like teaching children and caring for older people. On the plus side, robots could make room for people to spend their time doing more interesting things, but having robots doing all the work has disadvantages, too. To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective, the writer should provide a clear viewpoint. use more informal language. offer an alternative solution. address the counterclaim.
To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective the writer should provide a clear viewpoint because this paragraph is confusing for the reader. The reason for this is that the paragraph starts claiming that robots can make our lives easier because they can assume more "human" roles and so leave us more free time in order to do things that we love but then it ends by stating that there are also disadvantages to this evolution. Consequently, it is not clear for the reader if the writer is in favor or against this evolution.
Making the language more informal wouldn't help because it wouldn't guarantee a clearer point of view. Moreover, offering an alternative solution doesn't seem to be the topic of this paragraph. Finally, a reference to the counterclaim as well as addressing it would be more appropriate to do in another paragraph.
Thirteen-year-old girl Charlotte Doyle learns to be a sailor - after Captain Jaggery and Mr. Hollybrass kill Zachariah, a crew member of the ship she travels on - out of guilt feeling for his death. This action leads to climax of the book in which Charlote fight for her own life and survives by changing her own personality during events of cruelty and murders.
