give reason along with example vice versa for paragraph-2.

** If the examiner asked you in question to what extent do you agree or disagree? Mentioned the intensity of
agreement or disagreement at the end of last paragraph and it is recommended to 100% agree or disagree with the
argument i.e slightly agree/slightly disagree or moderately agree/disagree may create trouble for you.

*** For this type of Question, they use the words like Advantages/Disadvantages, Benefits/Drawbacks,
Positive/Negative etc. Your essay should evolve around those Advantages/Disadvantages which you have already
mentioned in Introductory paragraph.

Keep in mind four things while you are writing:

1. Write on Topic
2. Use Precise Vocabulary
3. Use Accurate Grammar
4. Use Logical Structure
