ARGUMENTATIVE - OUTLINE

1.Book Vouchers for Students Should be Abolished

Introduction:

·         BB1M-introduced by 5^th Prime Minister,Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak since 2011

·         For students pursuing tertiary studies-buy reading material and stationaries

·         TS: Agree -Book voucher should be abolished because students tend to misuse them, retailers take the advantage to gain more profits, and government should allocate the money for more effective project.

Point 1:

Students tend to misuse the book vouchers given to them

·         EL: take for granted-buy unnecessary products-not related to their studies

·         EL: against main objective of BB1M-to reduce students financial burden

·         EG: use to buy external hard disks, earphones

·         EL: students sell or auction off-for quick cash

·         EG: unscrupulous individuals-exchange-lower amount of cash

·         C: Thus, books voucher should be abolished because students tend to misuse the book vouchers to wrong ways.

Point 2:

Retailers take the advantage to gain more profits

·         EL: raise the price of goods

·         EL: students- no choice-vouchers only acceptable in selected store

·         EG: some products-low quality-do not worth the value

·         EL: students –are deceived-consumer’s right deprived

·         EL: money is the root of evil-money minded-grab the chance-play dirty

·         C: Therefore, the retailers for sure will take advantage on student’s book voucher in order to gain more profit because the use of the voucher is limited.

Point 3:

Budget for project BB1M should be allocated for more effective projects

·         EL: according to PM-allocated RM 325 million-to benefit 1.3 million of tertiary students

·         EL: budget derived from public funds-as tax payers-undoubtedly do not want it to benefit some unimportant ones.

·         EL: large amount of money-spend to care for the welfare-underprivileged

·         EG: build low cost houses-upgrade hospital facilities-free meals for impoverished children

·         C:Thus,beside the giving the book vouchers for student, the money should be used for needy  in the country in order to help them to gain more better life.

Conclusion:

·         Restate TS

·         More disadvantage than advantage-should be terminated
