For-and-against essays
For-and-against essays are formal pieces of writing which discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a topic. Arguments on both sides of the topic are presented in equal detail and the writertasks opinion is included at the end of the essay.
For-and-against essays include:
an introductory paragraph introducing the topic and its two sides.
two main body paragraphs one presenting arguments for together with justifications/examples and the other presenting arguments against with justifications/examples.
a concluding paragraph which summarises the arguments and gives the writertasks opinion.
Note: in for-and-against essays, each main body paragraph begins with a topic sentence that outlines the main idea of that paragraph.
For-and-against essays are characterised by:
formal/semi-format vocabulary and some longer sentences (Although some people may disagree, in my view, the advantages for outweigh the disadvantages.)
formal linking words to join ideas (Although, Whereas, for this reason, etc).
full verb forms (It is well worth ...)
a mild impersonal style that avoids colloquial expressions or strong personal feelings (Renting a home is thought by some people to be a better solution thon buying one)

All things considered,
Write an essay (120-180 words) for publication in a home-and-garden magazine discussing the pros and cons of buying your own home.
To buy or not to buy?
Many young people today, especially those planning to get married, dream of owning their own home some day. Some people would agree that home ownership is a good thing, while others believe it is not worth the trouble.
There are certain advantages to having a home of your own. To begin with, it can be considered a good investment. After all, you can sell it at any time and possibly make a profit. Furthermore, home ownership means you have greater freedom to please yourself. You can redecorate your house or keep a pet dog, for example, without having to ask the landlord.
However, buying a houseman also have a number of disadvantages. One major drawback is the high cost. This is because you need a large amount of money as a down payment before you can buy, in addition to the expense of maintaining and repairing your house. Secondly, a homeowner tends to be tied down to one place. This means that you cantaskt just get up and move if you do not like the neighbourhood, because you will have to sell your house first.
All things considered, there are both advantages and disadvantages to buying your own home. It seems to me, though, that it is a good idea if you can afford it. It is something that belongs to you and can give you security in the future.
