Extracting Information
Through technology, you are able read, watch and listen to a lot of information. This information may
influence you to believe certain ideas and push you to take some form of action. Some information may also dissuade
you from believing or doing other things.
Many writers use argumentative texts to persuade the readers to agree to their points of view. Writers do so,
not just by presenting information, but by showing the pros and cons of an issue. In extracting information from an
argumentative text, you must be able to note the issue and the supporting (pros) and opposing (cons) opinions about
the issue.
