• 00:05:00 In this video, the author discusses the difference between an argument and a story. An argument tries to convince an audience of the truth of a conclusion, while a story simply assumes that the listener will listen to whatever is told. In exercise 3, the author asks a rhetorical question, which, while indicating a preference, does not attempt to persuade. In exercise 4, the author presents an argument, which, while containing several reasons, ultimately leads to the conclusion that coffee is good for you. In exercise 5, the author presents a preference, which, while stating a preference, does not attempt to convince the audience. In conclusion, an argument is not a story, and, as such, can confuse the reader because its structure is similar to that of an argumentative text.
