Writing (an opinion essay)
1 Read the rubric and answer the questions.
Your college English magazine is asking for essays on the following statement: Ittasks better for elderly relatives to be looked after in nursing homes. Write your essay for the magazine, stating your opinion and giving reasons/examples to support it.
1 What do you have to write?
2 Which two reasons can you think of to support the statement?
3 What can the opposite viewpoint be?
2 Read the essay. Which of your ideas in Ex. 1 are mentioned?
1 In many countries these days, elderly people often choose to live in nursing homes and not with their families. In my opinion, this can be a really good idea as their needs can often be best met there.
2 First of all, a carefully-chosen nursing home can offer excellent care and facilities for an elderly person. For example, they often have great facilities - such as TV rooms - and special events where the residents can socialise. In addition, they have professional care staff such as trained nurses.
3 Secondly, many elderly people do not wish to be too dependent on their families. They do not want to put a burden on their family memberstask busy lives, by taking care of them 24 hours every day.
4 On the other hand, some people believe that it should always be the familytasks responsibility to look after elderly relatives. They argue that they looked after you when you were a child and so now you should give them the love and care they need.
5 All in all, I believe that, while it is the choice of each family, it is often better for an elderly person to live in a carefully chosen nursing home. This way, they can live more independent lives in an environment that caters to all their needs.
3 Which paragraph contains:
1 the writertasks first viewpoint & example/reason?
