The book you are holding in your hands aims, first and foremost, to show the way thought moves through positions and oppositions, which you, as a student, are called to record or develop in various texts presenting your views and, secondly, to inform you about the method by which the weaknesses of a text are highlighted, either by yourself or by a proofreader.

In this effort, this book comes to assist you with:
- Guidelines for producing discourse within texts (reading and understanding the topic, structuring an outline with questions, collecting arguments, methods of connecting phrases and paragraphs).
- Supportive material, with ideas and arguments for answering topics corresponding to the thematic units of the B' Gymnasium school book.
- Texts that refer to the topics of the units of the B' Gymnasium school book and provoke thoughts and reflections that directly contribute to the formation and expression of your opinion.
- Student essays that are corrected and restructured, so that students learn from their actual mistakes.

We wish you to enjoy reading the book and to use it as a stimulus for thought and as an aid for discourse.
