IELTS How to write a discussion essay outline (part 1 of 2)

[88paparazi]

Hello Ryan! How are you? I've been watching your videos and I think they are all amazing. However, I'd like to ask you If you could upload a video about Short stories. You'll see, I have an exam in a couple of months and one of the most important parts on it is the production of a Short Story. They give us a Sentence, perhaps, and we have to continue writing up to the end. Generally the Story must include between 300 and 360 words. No more than that. I hope you can help me! Thank you very much!

[TeenageTragedyx]

my essay for R.E is too discuss one of the contemporary moral issues that I have chosen. But it hasn't given me an actual question to discuss so it would be even more difficult to come up with arguments and p.o.v right??

[unknown9324]

This is why you tube is my second home

[ineedyourhelp100]

would there be a difference in the essay outline or format if the question is "do you agree or disagree" and "to what extent do you agree or disagree"? or same approach could be used? thanks so much ryan! God bless you!

[ineedyourhelp100]

thanks. things are quite clearer now. just one last clarification. if the task or question is "to what extent do you argree or disagree" should i still present both sides of the argument and on my conclusion i will sight my opinion? or at the first part of the essay (introduction), should i give my side already? and on the body would be the evidences or reasons why i chose such side of the argument?

[davesuh1231]

Great video, i would also add that distinguishing audience is also very important.

[ineedyourhelp100]

by the way, ill be sitting for the ACADEMIC module, thanks in advance!

[ineedyourhelp100]

hi ryan! how would one know whether the ielts essay topic or question is an argument or an opinion based? kindly give an example. some of these are "to what extent do you agree or disagree" "discuss the issue and give you opinion" "what are the adv and disadv," "do you agree or disagree" and the like. im really just confused.

thanks in advance and God bless you!

[ineedyourhelp100]

I am just confused coz on your video "argument essay cleanup (about IT and internet), the question/task was "form an opinion..." but the essay that you have presented was an argument based. kindly please clarify..

[EnglishRyan]

Hello ineedyourhelp100,

The majority of essay questions you'll see will have a single instruction sentence (usually the last sentence). It is important you read this sentence in its entirety and understand its meaning completely. Just because this sentence has the word 'opinion' does not mean that you should automatically write a discussion essay.

Take a look at this example:

"Form and opinion and support it with evidence."

This instruction sentence is asking us to create and support ...

[EnglishRyan]

... a single argument. It is not asking us to analyze all viewpoints or to discuss both sides of a point of view.

Now, let's look at this one:

"Analyze this opinion from multiple points of view."

Here the instruction sentence is making it clear that we must take all sides of the argument presented, critique them and then come to a reasoned conclusion of our own.

hi ryan my teacher askked me to outline wat does it mean ? its on four topics i got outline on sigmund freud,biological,behaviourist,­humanistic any ideas on how i have to outline these topics

[DjAliceCooper]

Wo.. If you're not a teacher you ought to be. And current teachers ought to use this kind of media in their class rooms. It's very helpful, and most schools have these resources; It's hard seeing lesson's like this go to waste.

[freefromit]

With the internet, I do not really need to do so anymore. you sharing is most appreciated.

[diwtate]

Does Anybody know what POV stands for, thanks.

[EnglishRyan]

Hi diwtate,

It stands for 'point of view'.

[diwtate]

Thanks, I figured that out when i turned on my speakers, lol.

[EnglishRyan]

Hehe :)

[f801jmr]

point of view

[tazeenhasan]

I think the supporting paragraph must be called here opinion paragraphs.

[lazyever]
