Introduction
In the essay introduction, you should start by repeating the
question. This does NOT mean that you should COPY the question.

You should say the question again, but using different words that
mean the same thing (synonyms).

● As soon as you have restated the question, then give your opinion on
the subject.

This gives the examiner an overview of what is to come in your

essay.
● You do NOT have to try and think "What will the examiner think is the
right answer here". The examiner is only interested in the level of
your English. So just give your first instinct opinion and don't try to
out-think yourself.

Supporting your opinion

​ ow that you have given your opinion, you need to back it up.
N

Get onto the other side of argument

​In your next paragraph, you should look at the question from the
opposite viewpoint to yours.
This shows the examiner that you have balance in your writing and it is a
sign of a good essay.

Concluding things which matter

should try again to use synonyms and not just copy your previous
sentence. Now, you can add your expanded arguments into your opinion.
A conclusion that weighs up the arguments already mentioned is a really
good opportunity to use a conditional sentence.
