Assignment 2: Argumentative writing

I think that the fact that students live on subsistence level should be one of the most important election issues 2010!

The students that attend university have to solve a puzzle everyday. The student loan does not allow us to live carefree and focus on our studies. We frequently have to ask ourselves:
Can I afford this and that this month? If I buy this will I have to eat noodles for the rest of the month? Do I have the money to join my friends for a beer or two?
Questions like these tear on a persons mind and ultimately affect his or hers ability to perform at school.

The fact that a student can not earn as much money as possible through for example a part time job is something that is absolutely incomprehensible to me. If you make too much money you will have to pay CSN when you are finished. Why?
Why can not a student who is receiving a loan from CSN earn as much as they want? It would make life much easier for many students and the fact that worrying about money would not be an issue for many students is reasons enough I think.

A counterargument would be that the part time job would steal concentration that should be focused on the school but I do not buy that. If you have a part time job it is a choice you have made and there for you have to take the consequences but I think student should at least have a chance to make extra money and be able to stretch their monthly budget a bit!

  2. I think you picked a topic that students can relate easy to. It´s a frustrated situation, that we can´t do anything about. I think you argument you question in a way that you were able to get you point across to the reader.


    I believe this question is important from all us students that have to make our money last all month. I can see that you have been able to fallow the “red line” throughout the text.

    Well done
