 This week we turn to Essays. To do so, we need to warm up our
advanced vocabulary, essay structure and style skills.
In the images below, Ex 1 is the Intro of the essay, Ex 2=Paragraph 2,
Ex 3=P3, and Ex 4=the conclusion.
Do Exs 1-4.
Remember every expression we choose to use has a function/a job (we
have specific words for contrasting, others for adding information etc).
Hence when we construct our essay, we need to select the right word;
right according to vocabulary, style and function.
