Contoh Topic Explanation: People attend college or university for many
different reasons. Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
People attend college for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and of the world around them.
![Page 7: Argumentative/Persuasion Essay](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051020/5681610d550346895dd06209/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Contoh AD: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
University should give the same amount of money to their students’ sport activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
I strongly disagree with idea that the same amount of money should go to university sport activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is an important part of education, libraries are fundamental. Student cannot study without them and they require a lot of financial support to maintain up-to-date technology, to keep new books and magazines on the shelves, and to keep them operating.

restaurants. Other people prefer and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
