What is something you feel strongly about, something you have a clear-cut opinion on?
Identify an opposing claim to that opinion.
example: At the beginning of the hockey season, I felt that the Sabres, despite how bad they were last season, were going to contend for a playoff spot. Because the youth on the team had a chance to mature, they signed some quality veterans, and they got the second overall pick, I had confidence that they would win at least 30 games. Many people, however, thought that Sabres would still be bottom-dwellers because how inexperience they were and the fact that the upcoming draft is supposed to be the the strongest in years, leading many to believe they would "tank" (lose on purpose).
Counter-claims: A viewpoint that opposes your own.
