Background: When a wr.iter decides to put his ideas on paper, he must determine the purpose for which he is going to w.rite. In this process of reflection, he must ask himself: Do I want to tell a story? Do I want to describe something or someone? Am I going to defend a point of view or do I just want to present information? It is essential to have a communicative intention and a stylistic approach when preparing a text. The purpose of argumentation is to present a convincing speech, based on a supported opinion. Thus, a person who decides to wr.ite an argumentative text must make sure to read to obtain arguments and reasons that defend his point of view. The argument must be supported by reliable sources, and the ideas obtained from sources of information must be cited and referenced. Therefore, argumentation is a type of text that requires a thorough search for information, a process of inference and reflection for the creation of new ideas and opinions, typical of creative and agile thinking. When telling a story, you already know that you will use the discursive method of narration, although you can also use description to characterize characters, spaces or environments, among other elements. When writing formal writings that transmit information objectively, you will use exposition. On the other hand, to persuade your interlocutor regarding your point of view on a particular topic, you will use argumentation.
