Avoiding Common Errors in Social Argumentative Essays
📌 The first common mistake to avoid is worrying excessively about word count; exceeding a 200-word limit slightly (e.g., 200-250 words) in official exams is generally not penalized if the content is strong.
✍️ Use selective and sophisticated vocabulary over colloquial or spoken language to make the writing flow better and be more persuasive.
👤 Do not shy away from expressing personal opinions and reflections, especially in the self-reflection/personal connection section, as this differentiates your essay.

Creating Highlights and Refining Skills
🌟 To create a highlight in the introduction, use two sentences: the first is a leading phrase (quote, song lyric, etc.) related to the topic, and the second links it to the essay's main theme.
📰 Use current, timely, and factual evidence (e.g., drawing from the COVID-19 pandemic era) for supporting arguments; avoid overly abstract or vague examples.
🤝 For the conclusion, integrate the personal reflection seamlessly rather than using generic phrases like "As a student, I should study hard"; instead, personalize it with age or specific current life stages.

Practice and Application (Self-Correction)
📚 Perfection is less important than completion and practice; actively write and apply learned techniques rather than keeping them theoretical.
🔍 When citing experts (e.g., Victor Hugo), use only one or two impactful sentences from their quotes, avoiding excessively long citations that disrupt flow.
🧠 In the personal reflection, connect your current life stage and specific struggles (like past mistakes) to the essay's theme to achieve a deep, relatable connection.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Focus on skill development and creating standout elements (quotes, timely evidence, unique personal links) rather than just memorizing standard essay outlines.
➡️ Credible sources like major news outlets (e.g., VnExpress, Tuổi Trẻ) are recommended for finding up-to-date and relevant supporting evidence.
➡️ The ultimate goal of argumentative writing is to express personal viewpoints and gain life skills that extend beyond grades, shaping future worldviews (philosophical outlook/Weltanschauung).
