Opinion essays require your clear opinion on a topic, supported by reasons and examples. They should contain: an introduction (stating the topic & your opinion), a main body (several paragraphs each with a topic sentence presenting a separate viewpoint supported by reasons/examples, and including a paragraph presenting the opposing viewpoint) & a conclusion (restating your opinion in other words).

Points to consider:

• Decide on your opinion before you start writing i.e. whether you agree/disagree and how strongly, as this will affect the structure of your essay.

• Use present tenses and formal style, avoiding colloquial expressions, short forms & personal examples.

• Include phrases to express your opinion, a variety of appropriate linking words and interesting techniques to begin/end your essay, e.g. a quotation, a rhetorical question.

Useful Language:

To express opinion: In my opinion/view, It seems to me that, The way I see it, To my mind, I (strongly completely) agree/disagree/believe that, I am totally against

To list points: First of all, In the first place, Firstly/Secondly, To start with, To begin with

To add more points: Also, Moreover, Furthermore, In addition, Besides, Apart from this, Another major reason

To introduce contrasting viewpoints: On the other hand, However, It is argued that, Opponents of this view say

To introduce examples: for example/instance, such as, in particular, especially

To conclude: To sum up, In conclusion, All in all, All things considered, Taking everything into account
