Essay
Introduction: stating
the problem, use generalization and highlight two
opposing opinions on the problem. Finish with “Let’s consider both
opinions (opinions)”
Reading has always
been an integral part of education. Some people are worried that very few
people read fiction nowadays. However, others claim that adolescents
should read only textbooks and serious articles instead. Let’s consider both
views.
2nd
paragraph: your personal opinion on the
problem (it has to coincide with one of the two
opinions above) and 3 arguments to support it. Don’t forget to use
opinion phrases like I’m sure, I think, I believe, etc. and linkers to
introduce every argument.
I think that it is
crucial to read fiction, especially when it comes to teenagers. Firstly,
fiction develops adolescents' imagination and therefore helps them become more
creative. Besides, teenagers learn from fictions about global problems and
their possible consequences. Above all, reading fiction helps us forget about
everyday problems and make people happier.
3rd
paragraph: the opposite opinion (of the two in the introduction) is given with 2
arguments to support it. Start with However, some people think(believe)
that… Don’t forget about the linkers to introduce the arguments.
However, some
people disagree with this. They strongly believe that reading fiction is just a
waste of time as it prevents teenagers from studying and preparing for their
exams. Moreover, it can be even dangerous if reading fiction becomes an
addiction.
4th
paragraph: 2 counterarguments to the opposing
opinion are given. Start with As for me, I am against this point of
view… Don’t forget to use the linkers to introduce your counterarguments.
As for me, I am
against this point of view. Actually, it is very important for teenagers to
relax when revising for exams. Otherwise, they just will not be able to pass
them. In this case reading fiction is not a bad solution. Furthermore,
according to statistics, it is a very rare case when someone becomes addicted
to reading.
5th
paragraph: make a conclusion, express your personal opinion again. Don’t forget
the linkers.
Start
with In conclusion, I would like to say that….
In conclusion, I
would like to say that reading fiction is quite beneficial for adolescents. However, adults
should not deprive themselves of it either.
