Hello everyone,
After preparing for months, I'm focusing my last few (4) days before D-day AWA on AWA preparation. This might sound like a silly or ridiculous question to many of you experts out there, but I'm currently confused with the difference between the two AWA questions. And I know this will really hurt me if I can't diffentiate between them by this Thursday!!
a) Issue analysis
I will be given an 'issue' (usually a general statement) and am told to analyze.
So what I should be doing is:
i) Evaluate the issue(explore the flaws in logic) and take a stand (agree or disagree)
ii) Provide reasons/examples to support my stand for next 2 paragraphs.
iii) Conclusion
b) Argument Analysis
Instead of an 'Issue', a argument(an article taken from some source, which the article involves an action or incident occurred under some circumstances) will be given.
So similar to the above:
i) Evaluate the argument(explore the flaws in logic) and argue (rather than agree or to disagree)
ii) Provide reasons/examples to support my stand for next 2 paragraphs.
iii) Conclusion
As you can see (and yes, I even copy and paste the above sentences!!), the only major difference between the 2 is: in Issue analysis, I get to say YES(agree) or NO(argue) while in Argument analysis, I can only say No(argue). Could anyone please enlighten me?
Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated!
