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;
three main body paragraphs - each paragraph presents an argument for and argument against the topic - arguments should be supported 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-formal vocabulary and some longer sentences (Although some people may disagree, in my view, the advantages far 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 than buying one).

Concluding
In conclusion,
All things considered,
Write an essay (200-250 words) for a student website discussing the pros and cons of working part-time while studying at university.
1 Many young people work part-time during their university studies, but is it sensible to try and work and study at the same time?
2 Certainly there are a number of advantages to working part-time while studying. 1) To start with, the money earned can go towards paying your living expenses. 2) In this way, you may not have to get a student loan and so will leave university without huge debts. 3) However, working takes away from your study time. You will have fewer hours to study and your grades may suffer as a result.
3 Another advantage of having a part-time job while you are studying is that you gain work experience. 4) Therefore, you have an advantage over other graduates when looking for a job after the completion of your studies. 5) Nevertheless, your work life may interfere with your university life. You may miss out on social or other events because you have to work. 6) This means that you may miss out on social or other events because you have to work.
4 One more point in favour of working part-time and studying at the same time is that it gives you the chance to do something different. Going to work means spending some time away from the academic environment, and this will give your brain a break from coursework, assignment deadlines, lectures and so on. 7) On the other hand, handling work and study simultaneously may prove exhausting, which could lead to you feeling stressed.
5 8) All in all, there are both advantages and disadvantages to working while studying at university. It does not suit everyone and I think anyone considering doing it should carefully decide for themselves if the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.
