Opinion essays
Opinion essays are discursive essays in which we present our personal opinion on a particular topic. Our opinion must be stated clearly and supported by justifications. We should also present the opposing viewpoint(s) in a separate paragraph.
An opinion essay normally consists of:
an introduction in which we introduce the subject and state our opinion clearly;
a main body, consisting of two or more paragraphs (each presenting a separate viewpoint supported by reasons/examples), including a paragraph giving the opposing viewpoint supported by reasons/ examples;
a conclusion in which we restate our opinion using different words.
We normally use present tenses in this type of writing, and phrases such as I believe, In my opinion, I think, It seems to me that, I strongly disagree with, etc to express our opinion. We list our viewpoints with
Firstly, Furthermore, Moreover, Also, etc, and introduce the opposing viewpoint using However, On the other hand, etc
Opinion essays are normally written in a formal style, therefore we should avoid using colloquial expressions, short forms or personal examples. We can find this type of writing in the form of an article in newspapers, magazines, etc.

Your teacher has asked you to write an essay giving your opinion on the following statement; taskWe should ban the use of plastic bags completely to help the environment.task Justify your opinion (120-180 words).
1 The number of plastic bags in landfill sites and oceans is continually increasing and damaging the environment. In my opinion, banning plastic bags altogether would be a good idea as it would help solve a serious environmental problem and prevent further damage to the environment.
2 1) Firstly, it would save energy. 2) For example, producing plastic bags uses a lot of electricity. By not producing any more plastic bags we could reduce energy consumption. 3) Secondly, it would reduce pollution. 4) For instance, the production of plastic bags creates chemical waste products, which are harmful to the environment.
3 5) Moreover, wildlife would be safer. Plastic bags are light and can be blown by the wind into trees, rivers and lakes. They damage natural habitats and can cause a choking hazard for many animals. The handles can also get caught around animalstask legs and beaks. Removing them from the environment would remove the danger they pose to animals.
4 6) On the other hand, some people argue that a total ban on plastic bags is unnecessary. They state that there are types of plastic bags that can be recycled and rather than a ban, they simply suggest encouraging people to reuse their plastic bags as much as they can and then dispose of them safely.
5 7) All in all, I feel that a ban on plastic bags could be an effective way to improve the environment. People, animals and natural habitats would all benefit immensely.
