Asked by Bob

Read the introduction from an argumentative essay.

Think about the number of chores you do in any given week. According to a recent newspaper article, robots may soon be doing your chores for you. Robots also may be taking over more "human” roles like teaching children and caring for older people. On the plus side, robots could make room for people to spend their time doing more interesting things, but having robots doing all the work has disadvantages, too.

To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective, the writer should

provide a clear viewpoint.
use more informal language.
offer an alternative solution.
address the counterclaim

provide a clear viewpoint.

The introduction is vague and balanced; to strengthen the claim it should state a specific stance (for or against robots taking over human roles) so readers know the writer’s position and can follow the supporting reasons. Addressing counterclaims can come later; informal language or an alternative solution won’t by themselves make the main claim stronger.
