achievements. This sets a wrong example to
young people.

INTRODUCTION
1. PARAPHRASE THE QUESTION
2.STATE YOUR DISAGREMENT
WITH THE QUESTION
3.BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHY YOU
HOLD THIS VIEW
A sample introduction
( PARAPHRASING THE TOPIC)At present, celebrities are
often admired for their expensive outfit and
extravagant lifestyles, but not for their attainments.
Some people worry that such famous people
influence young minds adversely. (YOUR POSITION)
I entirely disagree with this view(BRIEF
EXPLANATION FOR YOUR POSITION) because there
are more important factors rather than celebrities
such as education and upbringing which will shape
the personality of the youth.
MAIN BODY
1.STATE THE VIEW IN THE
QUESTION
2.EXPLAIN AND GIVE
EXAMPLES(BUT NOT SO
STRONG)
3. GIVE A CLOSING IDEA
Paragraph1-( THE VIEW IN THE QUESTION)People
concerned about the adverse effect of celebrities
blame them for conveying a wrong message about
popularity to young people.
( EXPALANATION AND PROOF FOR THE
IDEA)Today social networks and tabloids are filled with
news and photos about lavish spending, expensive
hobbies and other manifestations of celebrities’
showing off their wealth.
(A CLOSING IDEA) As a result, young people may
start conceiving of fame as beauty and glamour or the
amount of wealth and may no longer appreciate a truly
artistic genius.
Paragraph 2
1. STATE WHY YOU DISAGRE
WITH THE OPINION IN THE
QUESTION
2. EXPLAIN AND GIVE EXAMPLES
TO PROVE YOUR VIEW
3.GIVE A CLOSING IDEA
(YOUR VIEW)However, to my mind, whether a person is influenced or
not by external factors like celebrities depends on the level of
education and guided teaching they receive at home in their early
childhood.
(EXPLANATION ) Some parents take time to teach their children to
differentiate between good and bad in life and show critical and
analytical thinking in their own examples. (A CLOSING IDEA)Children
of such families usually develop “a strong immune system” to tempting
trends around them and can use their reasoning to judge rightly and
eventually they will grow into rounded adults who will not follow trends
blindly.(IT IS OFTEN AN EFFECT)
CONCLUSION
1. RESTATE THE VIEW OF
THE QUESTION AND
YOUR PESRONAL
OPINION AGAIN
2.GIVE A CLOSING IDEA
(it is often a suggestion, a
possible result and others)
( restate the idea of the question)To
sum up, our life is full of negative
examples like celebrities being
famous for money and image.
( a closing idea)If children receive a
good upbringing and education in
their families, they will not be affected
negatively by such external factors.

INTRODUCTION
1. PARAPHRASE THE QUESTION
2.STATE YOUR AGREMENT WITH
THE QUESTION
3.BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHY YOU
HOLD THIS VIEW( don’t give detailed
reasons in the introduction)
( a paraphrased sentence)- It is argued by some
people that today we have an overwhelming
number of choices. I completely agree with this
statement because,
( short reasons)-from my own experience, I learnt
that people are inundated with choices in learning
process and on social networks, as a result of which
they often become perplexed and unproductive.
MAIN BODY
PARAGRAPH 1
1.STATE THE FIRST REASON WHY
YOU AGREE
2.EXPLAIN AND GIVE EXAMPLES
3. GIVE A CLOSING IDEA
( YOUR FIRST REASON)-Firstly, most people nowadays
have a difficulty in choosing what to learn and staying
focused on it due to a huge number of study materials
available online. ( EXPLANATION)They aim to study a
particular topic or a skill, however, when they are faced
with too many learning materials like free books and
videos, they often cannot make up their mind to choose
one particular item. ( A CLOSING IDEA)-As a
consequence, they may feel discouraged and end up
studying nothing at all.
PARAGRAPH 2
1.STATE THE SECOND REASON
WHY YOU AGREE
2.EXPLAIN AND GIVE EXAMPLES
3. GIVE A CLOSING IDEA
( A SECOND REASON)Secondly, on social networks users are
usually overburdened with too many recommendations and ads,
which makes their time spent on social networks less pleasant. (
(HOW?)Users often enter social networks like Instagram or
TikTok in order to follow their close people or idols, to have fun,
or to be inspired by them, but leave feeling confused and
forgetting what their original intent was as they are exposed to
too many texts, photos or videos to choose from.
( A CLOSING IDEA)-Such an excessive amount of content on
social networks is detrimental to mental health of users and may
lead to a horrible feeling of emptiness.
CONCLUSION
1. RESTATE YOUR AGREEMENT
AND THE TWO REASONS
2.GIVE A CLOSING IDEA( it is
optional)
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I am of the opinion
most of us are subjected to making a
difficult decision among too many
choices. We do need to reduce the
number of choices to feel more
happy about our lives.

In this type of essay you should prove
why you agree with the opinion in the
question and at the same time why you
disagree.
Some people think that nowadays children have
too much freedom. ( partly agree)

words.

Introduction
1. Paraphrase the essay
question
2. State your view on the
question
3. Briefly explain why you partly
agree
?
(paraphrasing)It is argued that contemporary
children are given an excessive amount of
freedom. (your view)I agree with this view
to some extent, (brief explanation)as the
extent of freedom children have heavily
depends on the family in which they are
raised.
?
Main body
1.State in what cases you agree
with the view in the question
2.Explain and give examples
3.Give a closing idea
( your opinion why you agree)On the one hand, it is
true that there are some overindulgent parents who
allow their children to do whatever they want.
(How?)Children of such families are pampered with
too much freedom, often with little or even no control.
(Why)Such parents want their children to have carefree childhood, but too often they do not realize that
their actions can do more harm than good to young
people (a closing idea),therefore, they may grow into
dependent and selfish adults.
Body paragraph 2
State in what cases you disagree with view
in the question
Explain / Give examples
Give a closing idea
(the reasonwhy you disagree)On the other hand, not all
parents are the same. Some parents view the upbringing
of their children as a serious responsibility, and often
control daily routine of their children until they have fully
matured. (how?)They often take time to talk to their
children about how they spent their days and with whom
they spend most of their time. Such parents try to guide
their young people to the right way and even sometimes
punish their children for not obeying family rules. (a
closing idea)I also believe that young people need to be
under the control of their parents until they become
grown-ups.
Conclusion
Restate your views on the
topic of the essay
Give a closing idea
?
To sum up, while it is undeniable
that some children are granted
with an overwhelming amount of
freedom, the reverse can be seen
in some other families, as
parenting is an individual process
which differs from family to
family.

ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
(ESSAYS)
Questions for IELTS advantages and
disadvantages essays can be worded
in several different ways. Here is
some typical wording that might be
used:
THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS

disadvantages and give your opinion.
Sample questions
1. Small businesses are disappearing and being
replaced by large multinational companies.

2. Most career choices demand vocational skills or
specialist knowledge. However, despite this, most
schools still teach academic subjects such as history
or social studies.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this?
Before
beginning
READ THE TOPIC
CAREFULLY
Make a plan for
2 or 3 minutes
One of the consequences of improved
medical care is that people are living
longer and life expectancy is increasing.
Do the advantages of this development
outweigh the disadvantages?
Give reasons for your answer and include
any relevant examples from your own
knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Introduction
Paraphrase the topic
II. State your personal
opinion
III. Outline the main points
which you are going to
discuss in the essay
I.
(A paraphrased topic)Advances in medicine
have enabled people to live longer than ever
before and public health is generally
improving. Some people consider it as a
worrisome trend, ( Personal view)however, in
my view, drawbacks of longevity pale in
comparison with its benefits as knowledge
and experience of elderly people can be
deployed to solve certain issues.
Main body
(paragraph 1)
You should give the part
you disagree first
Don’t give strong
arguments for this
part
You should give
your position in
the second
paragraph
Give your strong
arguments for the
part you agree with
Body paragraph 1
( a weaker side)
2.Explain and
give an example
Don’t give strong reasons
for this part
1. State the
main idea
3.State why it is
a weak argument
(State the main idea)There is some rationale behind why
longer life expectancy is seen as an unwelcoming trend. (
an explanation and example)A growing number of elderly
population means a rise in the amount of pensions and the
cost of providing and maintaining health care, which is a
financial burden on the government. ( State why it is a
weak point)However, such financial problems can be
compensated by exploiting knowledge and work
experience of old people in the right way. Healthy old
population can be great assets to their work places.
Through years of experience accumulated in one particular
sphere, the old become much more competent and deal
with different people and situations more effectively.
Main body Paragraph 2
1. STATE YOUR FIRST IDEA
2. Explain and give an
example
3. State the second idea
4. Explain and give an
example
Furthermore,( 1st idea) such experienced people
can work as supervisors for young employees to
disseminate valuable knowledge they possess. In
addition,( a second idea) not only are elderly
people useful in a professional life, but also in a
family life.(an explanation and example) For
example, in Uzbek families it is common for
grandparents to babysit their grandchildren,
which eases family commitments of young
inexperienced parents and allows women to
continue their career paths.
CONCLUSION
1.Summarise the main
points mentioned in the
main body
2.State your personal
opinion
To sum up, although living longer has
several negative influences on a country’s
economy, the benefits of this general
development far outweigh the
shortcomings because elderly people can
still play a significant role in both family
and working life despite being at an old
age.
