If you have any suggestion please go ahead.

For an argumentative essay you need to present your side of the argument and the other side as well.
Your essay will have the following structure
Intro (will have thesis statement)
Body (70% of your body will have your stance)
Body (30% of your body will have the opposite stance)
Conclusion
Your thesis for an argumentative essay will answer yes or no questions. Either it is impeding the progress or it is not doing so. Just pick one side.
When you give other's stance remember to do anti thesis
Anti thesis is finding weakness in the argument's of other's stance
There is a very good GRE video that will help you structure this type of essay

Just remember that your CSS essay has to be longer than the GRE essay. I would like to add that the GRE issue and argument essays are very helpful in developing critical thinking that is needed for CSS essay.
Other than that just google a structure of essay and follow it. There are no hard and fast rules of how to do something. Your essay must overall have a consistency
I hope that this helped
