A good argument is like a strong story that makes sense. It has clear parts and helps you see why something is true. People get passionate about arguments because they believe in their stories, and sometimes they feel like winning means being right.
Examples
- If your friend says you should eat cake every day because it’s delicious, that’s a good argument, but if they say cake is better than pizza just because they hate pizza, that might not be so convincing.
