my essay for R.E is too chat about one of the contemporary moral issues that I have chosen. But it hasn’t given me an actual question to chat about so it would be even more hard to come up with arguments and p.o.v right??
This is why you tube is my second home
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!
thanks. things are quite clearer now. just one last clarification. if the task or question is “to what extent do you argree or disagree” must 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), must i give my side already? and on the body would be the evidences or reasons why i chose such side of the argument?
… a single argument. It is not asking us to analyze all viewpoints or to chat about both sides of a point of view.
Now, let’s look at this one:
“Analyze this opinion from multiple points of view.”

Hello ineedyourhelp100,

by the way, ill be sitting for the ACADEMIC module, thanks in development!
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” “chat about 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 development and God bless you!
I am just confused coz on your video “argument essay attack (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..
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 thoughts on how i have to outline these topics
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.
Some real terrible spelling going on in here, anyone notice my terrible grammar?
