WRITING AN ESSAY C1

This post aims to help you to write an excellent argumentative or opinion essay.
First, read the question and underline the keywords. Then, think on as many ideas as you can (brainstorming)  and decide on which ones are the best for your essay.
Now it is time to plan your essay carefully based on a structure which should have an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
The introduction should consist of three sentences: two about the topic and one thesis sentence (describing what you are going to do in your essay).
The body should have three paragraphs if it is an opinion essay or two paragraphs in case it is an advantage and disadvantage essay. Each section should have three ideas, and it would be advisable to write the topic sentence, then write the reason, give examples, an explanation and details.
The conclusion should have a summary of the main ideas and your opinion but never new ideas.
