Read the theory box. Where can we find this type of writing?
For-and-against essays present the advantages and disadvantages (or pros and cons) of a topic. They consist of:
• an introduction presenting the topic without giving an opinion.
• a main body in which you state the arguments for and against the issue in separate paragraphs.
Each argument is supported with justifications or examples.
• a conclusion giving your opinion. For-and-against essays are normally formal. Short sentences, colloquial expressions and idioms should be avoided.
They can be found in articles, in newspapers/magazines and in school assignments.
