Make sure to provide a clear introduction, stating your opinion directly on the given topic. The introduction should engage with the topic and outline the main points that will be discussed in the essay.

Focus on sentence structure and aim for a mix of complex and simple sentences. This will not only improve readability but also demonstrate your linguistic competence.
Task Achievement
Address the counter-argument or potential downsides briefly, explaining why you still maintain your position. This will make your argument more nuanced and compelling.
Use a variety of complex and simple sentences
You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.
‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.
Examples:
I really want to study but I’m too tired.
I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
In recent years, technology has made extraordinary advancements. Nowadays, the way we communicate, medical treatments and transportation networks all rely on electronic machinery. Some argue that the degree of dependency on technological equipment has put us in a grave predicament. While I acknowledge that using technology as our backbone can threaten our safety, I believe investing in electronic machines will bring us more long-term benefits.
There are times in life when we as humanity face hard situations and make lifetime decisions. While some people think accepting difficult circumstances is more appealing, others argue that trying and ameliorate the situation is more beneficial which I also completely agree with. This essay will argue both sides of the argument.
Some claim that art-related lessons should be incorporated into the main syllabus of high schools since they have a significant impact on children's development. I completely agree with the aforementioned statement as those subjects enhance students' creativity and assist them in selecting the right career paths that align with their interests.
These days, the ubiquitous presence of fast food chains and a sedentary lifestyle due to the fast-paced environment has caused many young people to become obese and unhealthy. I completely disagree with the idea that governmental bodies have the responsibility to tackle this situation for two main reasons.
It is argued that governments should levy a tariff on junk food because the number of health risks associated with consuming this kind of food is on the rise. This essay agrees that a higher rate of tax should be paid by fast-food companies. Firstly, alcohol and tobacco companies already pay higher taxes and secondly, higher taxes could raise prices and lower consumption.
