Consider the counterargument (an argument or question from someone who disagrees with your opinion). What objections might be raised, and what argument can you make to answer those objections? At least one sentence in your paragraph will be a response to an objection you think your audience might have. Responding to a counterargument strengthens your own argument and particularly your practical appeal.

Write one sentence below stating a counterargument. Then write a one-sentence response to the counterargument.

Counterargument: Young people do not have job experience, so they cannot be trusted to take dogs on walks.

Response: While it is true that I may not have much professional experience, I have much experience caring for and walking my own dog.
