I agree. In my view the types of templates that the authors recommend are very useful and help get the writer started. For instance using the the words "on the one hand, or on the other hand" are very useful in developing one's argument, in addition to referring back to another persons opinion. This way both sides of the argument are actively in the writing. Some might object, of course, on the grounds that templates can be used as a complete writing. In this way they are seen as a shortcut and are not helping to develop the writers ability. Yet I would argue that templates are not developed enough to give the writer something complete, and the writer must therefore fill it in with their own opinions and creativity. Overall I believe that templates are very useful- an important point to make given would be that everyone at one point or another in their lives used a template to help get them started.
