Planning and writing

an essay or composition

 Brainstorming: quickly note down some ideas on the topic as you think of them. Then write down some vocabulary that you know you will need to write about this subject.

 Planning: if you are asked to discuss a topic or give your opinion it is important to organize your thoughts and present your arguments clearly in paragraphs, and to work out the structure of your essay before you start to write.

4.2. Сочинение «За — против»

Recommended Plan

1. Introduction (state the problem).

2. Arguments “for”.

3. Arguments “against”.

4. Conclusion based on the given arguments.

Examples of beginnings:

1. Did you ever dream of becoming a doctor when you were young? Although it can be a very rewarding career, being a doctor also has its drawbacks.

2. Imagine going to school all day long and then having to work as well. Many young people decide to attend school and have a part-time job at the same time. This can have both advantages and disadvantages.

3. Cooking is something that few of us have time to do in today’s fast-moving world. But does eating out really have as many advantages as peo­ple think it does?

4. Have you ever thought about the effect tourism can have on an area? It may seem, at first, that tourism brings only benefits, but further consid­eration shows that it also has negative effects.

5. The question of whether it is right to keep animals in captivity is one of that has been under discussion for some time now. After all, what right do we have to decide, if an animal should be free or not?

Examples of endings:

1. On balance, the life of a doctor can be both exiting and very demand­ing. Not everyone is suitable for it, especially as it is not a profession with room for mistakes.

2. It’s up to each individual to decide whether he or she would benefit from working and studying for the same time. However, isn’t it a pity that many simply have no choice due to poor financial situation?

3. All in all, while eating out does have its advantages, it is not some­thing we should make a habit of. Perhaps, we should make time in our lives to eat properly.

4. In conclusion, an area can benefit from tourism in many ways. How­ever, it can also do a great deal of harm, and local residents should be aware of this before deciding to en­courage it.

5. To sum up, it is obvious that keeping animals in Zoos can deprive them of the right to live in their natural environment. It is, however, some­times the only way to prevent species from extinction. Therefore, we should try to ensure that animals are only kept in captivity when necessary.
