  • okay.

  • And the first supporting paragraph is concerned with agreeing with the idea that if Abou Dobby runs out of oil, the U A e economy will fall apart.

  • So if we just look at a skeleton of what we're going to do, so in supporting paragraph one now, the first thing we're going to do is state what the point of view is.

  • Secondly, we're going to come up with some kind of example.

  • Thirdly, will write a sentence.

  • That's a discussion statement.

  • Basically, all the discussion statement does is link the example to to the to the point of view and finally a conclusion and the conclusion sentence in supporting paragraphs for discussion, essays or a little bit tricky, because all we want to say is that we understand why people support this point of view, but we have to say this in a manner that does not sound like we are saying this.

  • We're just simply saying that we understand that people can support this point of view that it makes sense to us.

  • Okay, so take this away.

  • So the first thing we need to do is we need to, uh, state the point of view that we're going to talk about.

  • So we might say something like It is believed, believed by some, that if Abu Dhabi runs out of oil, you a economy will collapse.

  • We'll just change collapse.

  • So we don't keep saying the same words will fall apart.

  • Okay, now the second thing would be an example.

  • And so we started with something like an example that supports this.

  • Ah, uh, let's change the word example because it's not really a specific example.

  • It's an idea.

  • An idea that supports this is the historical fact that the U.

  • E economy has been almost completely dependent on on it's capitals oil reserves.

  • It's capitals being simply Abu Dhabi.

  • Ah, it's can be argued that this history will repeat itself at no, no will remain true in the future.

  • Okay, stop right there.

  • So now the example that we just came up with is the same one that we kind of talked about together in the first place.

  • And that's that, um, the youI has historically been dependent on Abu Dhabi soil, So it is believed by some that if Abby job runs out of oil, you eat economy will fall apart.

  • An idea that supports this is the historical fact that the U economy has been almost completely dependent on its capitols oil reserves.

  • It can be argued that this history will remain true in the future.

  • Thus, now, so here we're just in the last sentence just saying that, uh, that this makes sense that this example supports this point of view.

  • So because we've supported it correctly, we can understand why someone could possibly believe this point of view or agree with this point of view.

  • So this it is clear why some people, um, gravitate towards, uh, this to be used point of, You already know point of view, okay?

okay.
