📔 Writing
Session #n69: For and Against Essays

"For and against" essays are one type of discursive writing in which you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a specific topic.

📍 You can find this type of writing in articles and newspapers, magazines, etc.

A "For and against" essay should consist of:

a) an introduction in which you present the topic, making ageneral remark about it without giving your opinion;

b) a main body in which you present the points for and the points against, in separate paragraphs, supporting your arguments with justifications/ examples;

c) a conclusion which includes your opinion (e.g. In my opinion/ view, I believe/ think, etc) or a balanced summary of the topic.

🎙 You must not include opinion words (I believe , I think, etc) in the introduction or the main body. Opinion words can only be used in the final paragraph, where you may state your opinion on the topic.

⚠️ "For and against" essays are normally written in a formal style; therefore you should avoid using strong language (I know, I am sure, etc), short sentences, colloquial expressions or idioms.
