An argument needs a supported conclusion
A fictional school publication invites an argument about a quieter study space during breaks. MaterialA describes students who want a place to read without noise. MaterialB notes that available rooms are also needed for other activities and asks how shared access would be organized. A draft begins in Greek: «Όλοι ξέρουν ότι η πρότασή μας είναι η μόνη σωστή λύση». It then repeats the first material, ignores the second and ends by inventing a cost figure. The task requires a reasoned position that uses both materials and addresses the school community. No fixed number of paragraphs, universal word count or official examination penalty is supplied. The learner should revise the reasoning and register rather than merely replace simple words with more elaborate vocabulary. The source materials are original exercises, not real school policy documents.
1. What should a revised plan include?
Read the worked answer
Identify the goal, explain the benefit of a quiet space, examine the competing need for rooms and propose a qualified arrangement such as shared hours. The conclusion should follow from that comparison. Remove the unsupported cost figure and the claim of universal agreement.
2. Provide a suitable Greek core position.

«Ένας ήσυχος χώρος θα μπορούσε να βοηθήσει όσους θέλουν να διαβάζουν, αρκεί να οργανωθεί δίκαια η χρήση του. Χρειάζεται να εξεταστούν και οι ανάγκες των άλλων δραστηριοτήτων». This states a reasoned, conditional position rather than declaring the only possible solution.
