What to do when an argumentative essay is written as an epistle

The situation needs to be adjusted to the format, clear the argument, so that it conforms to the specifications of the writing of the essay.

1, adjust the format: the letter has its own specific format, including address, body, closing salutation, etc., which is different from the format of the essay. Essays usually go straight to the point, without too many pleasantries and courtesies. Therefore, it is necessary to delete some unnecessary parts of the letter, such as the address and the closing salutation, and adjust the body part to conform to the structure of the argumentative essay.

2, clear thesis: argumentative essays need to have a clear thesis, the whole article needs to focus on this thesis. If the epistle does not clearly put forward the argument, or the argument is not prominent enough, you need to re-examine and refine the argument. When revising, you can clearly express your point of view and provide reasons and evidence to support it.
