    Introduction

    Your introduction should always put the topic in the context of today’s world and paraphrase the
    question of the essay. It is also a good idea to include your opinion so the reader knows from the
    beginning what you think.

    More and more countries and cities struggle with dirty air and water and while it is difficult to find a
    solution to these issues, I believe that there are ways to improve the situation and to protect the
    environment.

    In this introduction all the key elements are covered. The topic is put in context (“More and more countries
    and cities struggle with…”), the question is paraphrased (“…while it is difficult to find a solution to these
    issues,…”) and the candidates opinion is clear (“I believe that…”).

    Body

    Each paragraph of the body starts with a topic sentence which introduces the main idea of the
    paragraph. After that, you add reasons, examples and you can even acknowledge other points of view.

    A great topic paragraph in the body doesn’t just talk about advantages and disadvantages. Think about how
    you can support the message in your topic sentence to convince the reader.
    Firstly, congestion on roads not only in major cities, but also in smaller towns causes a lot of pollution and
    noise and even though this situation seems to get worse and worse many countries are trying to encourage
    people to use alternatives like electric cars, which is a good first step to deal with this kind of challenge.

    The first sentences states what the problem is. After that, she acknowledges that the issue seems pretty bad,
    but then she explains different alternatives to cars that could improve the situation.

    Also, notice the different linking expressions she uses in this paragraph (Firstly, not only…but also, and
    even though, which is).

    Conclusion

    In a good conclusion you should summarise the essay in one sentence and clearly state your opinion on
    the question one last time.

    To sum up, our environment needs our help and although the air we breathe as well as waterways in many
    parts of the world are heavily polluted I strongly believe that we can solve these issues if governments and
    the people work together.

    The first part of this conclusion summarises the problem one last time and in the second half the candidate
    clearly states her opinion and that’s it.

    Plan before you write!!!!


    To create a plan make a list of the five paragraphs of your essay. As we said before this could be something
    like this:

    1. Introduction
    2. Transport
    3. Rivers and seas
    4. Your own idea
    5. Conclusion

    Now, all you have to do is to add a few words to each point so you won’t forget what you want to write
    about. I thought of a few things for our example task:

    1. Introduction – problems with pollution, is there a solution?


    2. Transport – -: CO2 emissions, noise +: electric cars
    3. Rivers and seas – -: sea life and plastic +: projects to clean oceans
    4. Animal agriculture – -: CO2 emissions, excrement +: vegan/vegetarian lifestyles, sustainable farms
    5. Conclusion – summary, it’s a big problem but there is hope

    The next step would be to add more information to each point and voilà, the essay is done.
