composition of this kind it is better not to
write I think, I feel, etc., but to say what you think in a more impersonal way. Study these examples.

Some people argue that… (impersonal some people)
It is also obvious that… (it + adjective)
It is undoubtedly true that…(undoubtedly for emphasis)

ideas as you can.
Put your best points together in two groups so that you can organize them into paragraphs.
Never write an argument for or against a topic without supporting it with justification.
Write in a semi-formal or formal style.
Do not use short forms or strong personal expressions.
The use of linking words is absolutely necessary when writing an argumentative composition.

the correct order?
Have you written in an appropriate style?
Have you used suitable linking words to introduce your points for and against and your conclusion?
Have you checked grammar, spelling and punctuation?

the topic by
making reference to an unusual scene or situation e.g. The sight of a huge lion dozing in the corner of a cage with no interest in its surroundings…

addressing the reader directly e.g. Have you ever wondered if animals in captivity are happy?

starting with a rhetorical question e.g. Are there really more advantages than disadvantages to keeping animals in zoos.

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

a balanced consideration or your opinion by:
summarising the topic under question, e.g. To sum up, keeping animals in captivity can be cruel and unnatural, but it is also necessary.
ending with a rhetorical question, e.g. Would it be better to watch various species gradually becoming extinct?
giving the reader something to consider, e.g. If it were not for zoos, many people would never have the chance to see a live wild animal.

up to each individual to decide whether he or she would benefit from working and studying at the same time. However, is not it a pity that many simply have no choice due to poor financial situations?
On balance, the life of a doctor can be both exciting and demanding. Not everyone is suited for it especially as it is not a profession with room for mistakes.
All in all, while eating out does have its advantages, it is not something we should make a habit of. Perhaps we should all try to make time in our life to eat properly.

1 (State the topic and your opinion).
Paragraph 2 (Express your opinion and give 2-3 reasons for it ).
Paragraph 3 (Express an opposing opinion and give 1-2 reasons for this opposing opinion).
Paragraph 4 (Explain why you don’t agree with the opposing opinion).
Paragraph 5 (Make a conclusion restating your position).

In the first place To begin with/ Secondly/ Thirdly/ Finally, etc.
To add viewpoints: both…and/ What is more/ not only…but also/ In addition/ Furthermore/ Besides/ not to mention the fact that, etc.
To present the other side of the argument: Contrary to what most people believe/ As opposed to the above ideas/ Some people argue that, etc.
To express opinion: I believe/ In my opinion/ I think/ In my view/ I strongly believe/ I feel that/ It seems to me that, etc.

Compositions expressing opinions are formal in style. Unlike for/against argumentative essays, this type of topic asks for your own opinion, which should be clearly stated and supported by reasons. A good argumentative composition expressing your opinion should consist of :
a) an introduction in which the title is explained and your opinion is clearly stated,
b) a main body which consists of 3 paragraphs. Each viewpoint, supported by a logical reason, should be presented in a separate paragraph. The opposing viewpoint is mentioned in a new paragraph.
c) a conclusion in which you sum up your viewpoints and restate your opinion.

your opinion. Write down as many ideas as you can.
Provide good arguments for both sides of the issue, even if you strongly agree with one side.
Each viewpoint should be joined to the others with linking or sequence words e.g. in the first place, to start with, what is more, also, apart from this, it is argued, etc.
Do not use contractions, write in a formal style.
Never start writing your composition before making a plan.

the paragraphs in the correct order?
Have you written in an appropriate style?
Have you expressed your opinion?
Have you linked all viewpoints with sequence words?
Have you supported each viewpoint by a reason?
Have you checked grammar, spelling and punctuation?

structured in the following way:

sentence 1 – a general statement to introduce the topic which the essay is going to deal with;

sentence 2 – paraphrase the question;

sentence 3 – give your opinion.

It’s important that smaller regional languages, like Mansi and Nogai, in Russia are kept alive. Do you agree?
I strongly disagree with this opinion for several reasons.
Not everyone is sure that it is worth keeping such languages alive.
There are many different languages in Russia: a region such as Dagestan has as many as a hundred.

conclusion should be structured in the following way:

use a phrase at the beginning to tell the reader this is the end (In conclusion, To conclude, To sum up, In summary )

restate your opinion and summarize the main points, including the opposing opinion

relate back to the original question

all he above reasons, I would like to encourage parents to give educational toys to children. There is enough violence in the world already!
b To sum up, I believe that there is nothing harmful in traditional toys like guns. As argued, children need to play and it is untrue that there is some kind of link with aggressiveness.
a And my final point is that presents do not make children happy. It is wrong to claim that parents show their love with toys like guns and soldiers so this makes them acceptable.

Ending

Вecoming a vegetarian is a choice that many people are making after recent health scares. The question is, does being a vegetarian have a positive or a negative effect on one’s health. I believe that it can do more harm than good.

In conclusion, I feel that vegetarians could suffer from health problems if they do not have a healthy, nutritious diet. However, everyone must decide for themselves which lifestyle choice suits them best.
