Tutors 21 | - Freelance Writer

Students who are preparing for their IELTS tests get easily confused by the proper format for their discussion presentations. Those who have been studying for months with other tutors and feel frustrated about their lessons oftentimes come to me as a last resort a month or two before they take the actual test. These students almost always have the same question for me. "How can I write 3 body of paragraphs when there are only 2 points of view presented?" My response never wavers in this instance. I always try to explain, in language that they understand, that the original prompt always provides the 3 body paragraph discussion topics, even when only 2 points of view are presented.
An example of this problematic prompt can be found below:
In many cities, the population is increasing. Some say that the urbanization process denies us knowing our neighbors, and this causes a loss of community sense. What is the main problem with this? What measures can be taken to overcome this?
The 3 body of paragraphs, based upon the original prompt is as follows:
1. An explanation of how urbanization has made prevented people from creating a sense of community.
2. One expanded discussion of an urbanization discussion.
3. Solutions to the problem.
These are the reasons why a 2 point of view essay can always be discussed with 3 body paragraphs or a complete 5 paragraph essay. The student needs to focus less on the number of questions and instead, look for the topics for discussion instead. Once students get beyond the two points of view, the essay will basically write itself.
I would like to point out however, that the above discussion only works for the direct question essay. In an opinion essay, the format will always be:
1. Opening paraphrase.
2. Point of view 1.
3. Point of view 2.
4. Personal point of view.
5. Concluding paragraph.
This is the preset requirement for the discussion and the outline provided in the outline of the discussion already. So discussing the relevant information becomes easier to develop and present.
There will never be an opinion essay that will not help the student write a 3-body paragraph essay. The original IELTS writing prompt practically assures this by providing the relevant discussion flow in its writer destiny. That is why the original prompt practically outlines the discussion points for the body of paragraph , making sure that no relevant discussion topic is omitted from the discussion within the paragraph body.
