Nowadays, (Write a general sentence about the topic). For many people, (Write an extra sentence to support the first sentence). However, there are both pros and cons to deciding to do this. In this essay, I will discuss some of the reasons why (reword the topic sentence) and some of the challenges to be overcome.

Let’s begin by looking at the advantages of (topic sentence). One of the main positives of (write first advantage here). What I mean by this is that (explain the advantage further). For instance, (give an example related to the advantage). This can make you (conclude the advantage).

Secondly, (write second advantage here). Take (write what your example is about) for an example. In addition, (write a concluding sentence about the advantage).

Turning to the other side of the argument, (write first disadvantage in a sentence). To be more precise, (write some more sentences about the first disadvantage). Let’s use (write what your example is about) as an example. This often leads to (write a concluding sentence about the disadvantage).

Another issue is that (write the second disadvantage here). In other words, (write one or two sentences to explain the second disadvantage). This process takes time and can be especially challenging if (write a concluding sentence about the second disadvantage).

All things considered, (Write a general one-sentence summary of the topic). You need to weigh up the pros of (write two advantages here which you wrote in second and third paragraph), and the cons of (write two disadvantages here which you wrote in third and fourth paragraph). Personally, I believe the benefits in terms of (write the same 2 advantages using different words) eventually outweigh any negatives.

Write about the following topic:

These days, more and more people are going to other countries for significant periods of time, either to find a job or to study. There are clearly many benefits to doing this, but people who live abroad can also face some difficulties.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living and working in a foreign country.

Nowadays, taking a here out to live or study abroad is becoming increasingly popular. For many people, especially young adults, the chance to spend an extended period of time overseas is an attractive one. However, there are both pros and cons to deciding to do this. In this essay, I will discuss some of the reasons why moving abroad is so popular and some of the challenges to be overcome.

Let's begin by looking at the advantages of moving away. One of the main positives of heading overseas is that it broadens your horizons. What I mean by this is that you have the chance to meet people from different cultural backgrounds and learn to cope with foreign customs and food. This can make you more rounded it as a person.

Secondly, moving abroad can lead to a better quality of life. Take British people for exam. Thousands of people from the UK move to Spain and Australia every year. These countries have warmer climates and encourage a better work-life balance. In addition, by living Overseas, you can gain qualifications and language skills, which may improve promotion prospects on your return.

Turning to the other side of the argument, culture shock is a major problem. Many people who take a year out find it hard to cope with the language barrier, the food and general cultural differences. This often leads to homesickness and in some cases a sense of isolation.

Template:

A generation ago, (Write a general sentence about the topic). However, (Reword or rephrase the problem in the essay topic in your own words). This essay will look at the core reasons for this and propose some solid solutions.

One of the main causes of the problem is that (Write the first cause of the problem here). By this I mean (explain the problem in 2 or 3 sentences). For example, (give a relevant example to support the cause of the problem). The solution is for the (write about the solution of this problem).

Another problem is that (write the second cause of the problem here). That is to say, (explain the problem in 2 or 3 sentences). To tackle this issue, (write about the solution of this problem).

A third cause of the problem is the (write the third cause of the problem here). To be more precise, (explain the problem in 2 or 3 sentences). As a result, (write the result or effect of the cause here). The way forward could be (write about the solution of this problem).

To sum up, (rephrase the topic using different words), due to the reasons such as (write the summary of three causes of the problem which you discussed in 2nd , 3rd and 4th paragraph). This is a serious problem, and unless (write the summary of three solutions of the problem which you discussed in 2nd , 3rd and 4th paragraph). My view is that the main responsibility for solving the problem lies with (talk about the people or elements that are responsible to solve this problem).

Model Essay from the Template:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

These days in many countries, fewer and fewer people want to become teachers, particularly in secondary schools.

What are the reasons for this, and how could the problem be solved?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words

A generation ago, teaching in a high school was considered an extremely well-respected and popular job, and in some countries this is still true. However, in many parts of the world, there has been a sharp drop in the number of young people who want to become high school teachers. This essay will look at the reasons for this and propose some solutions.

One of the main causes of the problem is that teachers’ salaries are lower than many other jobs. Teachers’ pay has not kept pace with that of other professions, such as law or medicine. In the UK, for example, a doctor with five years’ experience will earn far more than a teacher with the same experience. The solution is for the government to raise teachers’ pay significantly, which would attract more people into the profession.

Another problem is that many children do not behave well in class. That is to say, teachers often have to deal with pupils who disobey them, which often causes them to give up teaching. This tends to put off potential teachers as well. To tackle this issue, parents must give their children a sense of respect for teachers, in order to make children behave better in class.

At third cause of the problem is that teaches often have too much work to do. Most teachers are snowed under with marking and paperwork, which means that they have to stay late at school and work at home in the evening. As a result, many teachers are tired and stressed, and their job has a negative effect on their family life. The way forward could be to cut teachers’ hours, and to take on more teaching assistants, which would make teaching and easier job.

To sum up, teaching has become a much less popular job in many countries, due to reasons such as the salary, the working hours and pupils’ behavior. This is a serious problem, and unless we can get more talented young people to become teachers, the education of our children will suffer. My view is that the main responsibility for solving the problem lies with parents and the government.

Model Essay from the Template:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Prison is the best punishment for criminals. How far do you agree or disagree with this statement. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

These days, every time you turn on the television or flick through the pages of a newspaper, you learn about the victims of crime. But what is the most effective method of dealing with the rising crime rate in our society? Some people believe the best way to punish criminals is to sentence them to time in prison. I completely disagree with this idea and in this essay I will support my opinion with examples.

Firstly, life in jail is far too comfortable for prisoners. For example, many inmates have access to luxuries such as televisions, computers and sports facilities and so on. In other words, spending time behind bars is more like being in a holiday camp. If prison is going to act as a deterrent, then I believe it needs to be considerably tougher.

Another reason why I disagree with prison as a punishment is that a large number of prisoners are not actually a danger to society. Take shoplifters as an example. They are often locked up in the same cells as murderers, rapists and violent criminals. I strongly believe that this is a serious waste of taxpayers’ money. What is more, petty criminals may even learn how to commit more serious crimes when they are inside.

On the other hand, there is an argument that prison can help to rehabilitate offenders. Many inmates have the opportunity to study while they are doing time. As a result, many never re-offend when they are released.

In conclusion, although it is a common belief that prison is the best way to punish criminals, I believe it is too soft and that it is not necessary in the majority of cases. Personally, I think prison should be the last option when all else has failed.
