Today is first day of my master course. The only feeling is depression. I thought that I have prepared myself for master well during the 10 weeks’ of PEP study, but I am wrong. Today I realized that I still have a lot more to learn. First of all, I must improve my listening skills to understand the teacher. I found that teachers’ speaks quite fast and have a special Australian accent. In addition, lack of academic vocabulary is an important reason why I cannot follow lesson. Although it is just introduction of the course today, I already feel huge pressures from assignments, including essay, critical review, group report, oral presentation and so on. In my opinion, this is an impossible mission. I feel afraid and even lost confidence to carry on studying. When I returned home, I communicated with my friends and family on internet and look for help urgently. Their encouragement and support helped me released pressure and make me recover from depression quickly. The beginning of everything always exist many difficulties. I believe if I persist and never give up, I will adjust to everything gradually.

Outline(this is my outline of argumentative essay named 'should gun ownship in Australia be more regulated', I hope that it can help you understand the basic writing structure of English debateble essay clearly)

Introduction(BITS):
Background: Martin Bryant, a lone gunman, killed many of the 35 victims at Port Arthur in April 1996. After the massacre, the federal government under Prime Minister John Howard introduce a range of gun control measures designed to reduce the number of self-loading and pump-action rifles.
Issue: Whether the government should regulate gun ownership has been widely debated in the community.
Thesis: The gun control laws make Australia a more society.
Scope: This essay will consider some opposing arguments and point to some of the problems with them.

Body paragraph

Paragraph1:
Opposing argument: Australians should leave gun deaths alone, because only 60 persons are murdered with guns every year
Argument: the government needs to be concerned and carry out some measures
Support: most traffic and medical accidents occur occasionally and are just that, accidents.
Support: gun-related crimes are an issue of real concern in the community

Paragraph2:
Opposing argument: gun-law reform has done little to prevent crime because when a criminal wants to kill other people, they can use knives or another blunt means.
Argument: gun control cannot stop all violent crimes, but it indeed controls the availability of guns to criminals and avoids criminals to commit their crimes.
Support: the power of guns

Paragraph3:
Opposing argument: most legitimate gun owners don’t commit firearm crimes.
Argument: anyone could be a criminal if a situation gets out of control.
Support: ‘gun massacres are usually not premeditated. The fact is that all of these
perpetrators were law-abiding citizens.’

Conclusion: gun control indeed will make society safer.
