What are Argume­ntative Texts?

An argume­ntative text is a text that tries to persuade your opinion on a real issue or problem. This is backed up with evidence, and reasons. If you're stuck writing an Argume­ntative essay, try to write on the opposing team to see what it is you're lacking.

What are personal memoir­s/a­uto­bio­gra­phies?

Both personal memoirs and autobi­ogr­aphies serve a purpose for informing the readers on real life experi­ences or stories with morals or meanings. Both of these types of texts are made with an emotional truth, or an underlying moral that is made to stay with the readers indepe­nde­ntly. If you ever find yourself writing a personal memoir or an autobi­ogr­aphy, it's best you understand what morals you learned from your experi­ences, and express it in a inform­ative or reflective tone.
I wrote a personal memoir for a writing compet­ition in December 2025, and I can tell you that if there's one thing you should know it's that make sure your writing is in a way that can be both relatable and memorable.

How to make a piece that sticks with your readers

One of the biggest issues I've seen while reviewing classmates writing work is that they drift off, or they gradually lose the concept of what they had started to write. If you're ever writing, start by planning what you're writing rather than officially writing off the bat. If you plan it out, I assure you it could not only lead to a more polished writing look, but one where you yourself can understand it. And as to how to emotio­nally connect with your readers, choose show don't tell techni­ques, and focus on how it 'feels' rather than how you write it.
