4. ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
An argumentative essay is a type of essay that presents
arguments about both sides of a topic. It could be that both
sides are presented equally balanced, or it could be that one
side is presented more forcefully than the other. It all
depends on the writer, and what side he supports the most.
Therefore, it requires the student to investigate a topic;
collect, generate, and evaluate evidence; and establish a
position on the topic in a concise manner.

5. MINI RESEARCH
What is mini research?
Research is a technique of systematic investigation that
involves data collection, documenting essential information,
then analyzing and interpreting that data/information using
methodologies established by certain professional fields and
academic disciplines.
Mini research is a scientific/academic work in the
form of simple research that is used for certain purposes.
Even though it is simple, making a mini research must have a
clear purpose with an appropriate arrangement of
methodologies.

6. AN ARTICLE JOURNAL
A research paper is a piece of academic writing that provides analysis,
interpretation, and argument based on in-depth independent research.
Then, this work can be published in a journal.
A journal is a collection of articles that is published regularly
throughout the year. Journals present the most recent research, and
journal articles are written by experts, for experts. They may be
published in print or online formats, or both.
