  • each each point of view.

  • Now, following this example, we give a discussion statement.

  • Okay, The discussion statement links the example.

  • Two The point of view.

  • So, for example, we might say something along the lines off.

  • As this example shows, McDonald's is a very impressive restaurant, depending on what our example is.

  • Maybe we're talking about how good the food is or how clean the restaurant is.

  • Okay, now the last sentence is our conclusion sentence.

  • And this conclusion sentence just gives us a supportive statements to those that it would agree with.

  • Point of view number one.

  • So it's that's a supporting statement.

  • Two.

  • Those who agree with point of view one.

  • So, for example, we might say something like, uh thus, it is understandable why many people feel that McDonald's is a great restaurant now, Once again, I'm using language that somewhat distances myself.

  • In my opinion, from this point of view, I'm saying this is the opinion of other people, and I understand why they would think it's a great restaurant.

  • I'm not saying that I think it's that, but I understand why they think it's that Okay, now supporting paragraph two is going to talk about point of view number two, which in this case would be that McDonald's is not a great restaurant, So Oh, I think it's a bit difficult to see.

  • Okay, so the first sentence is a statement of point of view, too, the second being an example, uh, supporting point of view, too.

  • Third being once again, any discussion sentence and this discussion sentence links the example of point of view, too, with the statement and finally a conclusion which once again shows that we understand why some people support this point of view, which is that McDonald's is not a great restaurant.

  • Okay, so this far we have introduced introduced the two points of view, and we've supported both points of view.

  • Now, in a Niles exam, you're pressured in two ways.

  • Your pressure for time and you're also pressured for length.

  • And if we were to actually write a really discussion essay, well, of course we'd We'd look at the negatives as well of both of these topics, but that's not gonna be possible with the length.

  • Uh, we're only given 250 to 300 words to write with.

  • And if we start talking about the negatives, and that's going to put us way over.

  • So now if we come down to a concluding paragraph now, the concluding paragraph is made up of three sentences which, if you recall, is the same as the concluding paragraph for the Argument essay.

  • The 1st 1 is a summary of points of view analyzed.

  • So the points of view we looked at points of view number one that support McDonald's points of you Number two that don't support McDonald's.

  • This is a sentence that sort of summarizes those two areas that we looked at.

  • The second sentence is a statement of our point of view.

  • So we're just saying whether we feel that we more so agree with point of view Number one most so agree with Point of View number two.

  • So we'd structure this as something like After analyzing both points of view, it's obvious that point of view Number two it's stronger or it's obvious that McDonald's is not an impressive restaurant or however we want to word it.

  • And then the last sentence is a prediction for a recommendation.

  • So taking our hypothetical essie about McDonald's and if we agree, more so with point of view number to the McDonald's is not a great restaurant.

  • Then we can say it is recommended.

  • Um, for the above reasons that Mmm.

  • That's, um, attending McDonald's is not an intelligent idea.

  • I'm not sure we'd say something like that.

  • I'm kind of pulling that off the top of my head.

  • Okay, so then that's the breakdown of discussion.

  • S e.

  • On.

  • So now, following this lesson, I'm going to put together a lesson.

  • We're well, actually write a discussion essay together so you can see this sort of skeleton in action.

  • Okay, thank you very much for listening.

each each point of view.
