Example:

In Austalia there are three levels of goverment,the federal goverment, state

goverments and local goverments. All of the three levels of goverment are

necessary. This is so for a number of  reasons. (Thesis : Position)

First, the federal goverment is necessary for the bis things. ( Argument 1 : Point) They

keep the economy in order and look after things like defense. ( Elaboration)

Similarly, the state goverment looks after the middle sized things. (Argument 2 :Point)

For example they look after law and order, preventing things like vandalism in schools. (Elaboration)

            Finally, local goverments look after the small things. (Argument 3 : Point)

They look after things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have diseases.(Elaboration)

Thus, for the reasons above we can conclude that the three levels of goverment are necessary. (Reiteration : Conclusion)
