There are at least 3 types of argument (http://www.youtube.com/watch?

One, is the dialectical. This was used by Socrates. It involves 2 or
more people holding a discussion, the goal being to advance their
understanding.
Two, is rhetorical. In this, the speaker or writer is trying to
convince an audience (http://bit.ly/aEy78A).
Three, is debate-style, where 2 or more speakers are trying to score
points off each other and win.
You don't want to think you'll be in 1 kind of argument and find out
you're in another. You might not have prepared properly.
