ONLINE CLASS AND WRITING ESSAY FOR HOMEWORK

Hi students! 
It was great to see some of you online in real time. We scheduled another online meeting for next Tuesday (at 10:00am with class A, and at 11:15am with class B). I hope more people will join us. 

Well, during the online class we had a look at section 10D (page 90+91) in your books, which is about writing a for and against essay. We did exercises 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. (You can check your answers here).

It's very important to keep in mind the structure of this text, which has 4 paragrpahs:
  1. Introduction
  2. Arguments in favour of the topic
  3. Arguments against the topic
  4. Conclusion 
You should remember that all the arguments in favour go together in the same paragraph, and all the arguments against go together in another paragraph. During the whole text you should be objective and you can include your opinion only in the conclusion. The register is formal, so forget about contractions. And on page 91 you have some useful expressions: The main advantage is..., However, one disadvantage is..., To sum up, On the one hand, On the other hand, among others.


Your essay should be about one the titles in exercise 5:
  • Are exams good for learning?
  • Public transport should be free for everyone.
  • People should only have to work four days a week.
Once you've done your writing (180 words), you should send it to me by email. Have a nice practice!
