2 a Read the theory box.

An opinion essay presents our personal opinion on a particular topic. An opinion essay should contain:

a) an introduction, in which we introduce the subject and state our opinion clearly.

b) a main body, consisting of two or more paragraphs (each presenting a separate viewpoint supported by reasons/examples) and including a paragraph giving the opposing viewpoint.

c) a conclusion in which we state our opinion using different words.

Opinion essays also have a title and are normally written in a formal style. They can be found in the form of newspaper/magazine articles, school assignments etc.

b Read the rubric.

• What type of text would you write?
• Who would read it?
• What style would you write it in?
• Which tenses would you use?
• What points might you make? Read the essay and check.

Your school newspaper is asking readers to write an article giving their opinion on the following statement:

“Students should not be allowed to bring their mobile phones to school.”

Mobile Phones in Schools

1 For several years now, schools have debated whether or not pupils should be allowed to bring their mobile phones to school. While there are some good reasons for students having mobiles at school, others feel they cause more harm than good.

2 I believe that students should hand in their mobile phones when they arrive at the school gates. Firstly, mobile phones can be a serious distraction in classrooms. It is impossible for teachers and students to focus on classwork if there are phones ringing or vibrating. Even worse is when students secretly play games or check social media during lessons! Furthermore, by carrying around a valuable smartphone, a students can put themselves at risk. For example, the phone may be stolen or taken with threats of violence.

3 On the other hand, some people say that mobile phones are an essential part of a modern person’s life, and it is unfair to take them away. Moreover, parents may wish to be able to get in touch with their child in an emergency.

4 However, the school environment is not meant to be the same as the rest of a person’s life, but a place of concentration and safety. In addition, if parents need to speak to their children in an emergency, they can telephone the school itself.

5 All in all, mobiles in schools can be beneficial to a certain extent. Nevertheless, it seems to me that they are an unnecessary distraction in class and a potential cause of crime, and should be used only before and after school.
