1 Read the rubric and the model. What is the function of each paragraph?
You have had a class discussion about shopping. Now your teacher has asked you to write an essay on the following question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping? Write your essay (200-250 words).
These days lots of people shop online. Everything from designer clothes to groceries can be bought on the Internet and delivered to our door. Is this as good as it sounds?
First of all, there is the question of convenience. Shopping is done from home so it makes life easier. Crowds and traffic are avoided and there are no heavy bags to carry. On the other hand, shopping online can be misleading. For example, when buying a product without touching it or trying it on, it may be nothing like the advertisement on the screen.
Secondly, we need to consider the matter of choice. There is a huge range of online products to choose from and we can compare prices on different websites. This can result m considerable savings. One disadvantage, though, is that some products incur delivery charges. This can work out quite expensive, particularly for overseas deliveries. The last point concerns payment. The online shopper has no need to withdraw cash from the bank or carry a card around. This means that there is no worry about falling victim to pickpocketing. Yet shopping online can put us at risk of credit card fraud. We must ensure, therefore, that we only use reputable sites that protect our credit card details.
All in all, there are both advantages and disadvantages to shopping online. It is easy and convenient but it is also risky. We should weigh up the pros and cons carefully before making a purchase on the Internet.

Techniques for Introductions and Conclusions
In order to grab (lie reader’s attention and make them want to continue reading, the first paragraph should
start with an objective statement: e.g. It has been shown that violence on television effects children from a young age.
make reference to a strange scene or situation: e.g. The sight of hundreds of frying fish
address the reader directly: e.g. Have you ever considered what life would be like without water?
start with a quotation or rhetorical question (question which requires no answer): e.g. Is all this worth the lack of privacy?
start with a problem tint needs a solution: e.g. More and more species are becoming extinct…
The last paragraph should:
give tin: reader something to consider: e.g. Things would be different if…
summarise the article: e.g. To conclude…
end with a quotation or a rhetorical question:
e.g. «All’s fair in Uwe and war. » «To be or not to be? »
end with an objective statement: e.g. Many people believe that the future of our planet is the most serious issue of life today.
5 Match the introductions to the conclusions. Which techniques are used in each?
Introductions
1 Increased drug use among young people today is a problem that mud he tackled by society if it is to be prevented from causing more damage than it already has.
2 According to a US study, 70 per cent of children between the ages of 8 and 18 have TV sets in their rooms. Thirty-five percent have access to satellite or cable TV. These figures suggest it is worth examining the effect TV has on a child’s development.
3 What can be done to protect our cities from environmental pollution? Over the past decade, our cities and towns have become more polluted than ever and this is a trend that looks set to continue.
4 Have you ever considered emigrating to another country with a warmer climate where it hardly ever rains? This tempting prospect has been on many people’s minds this winter as we face endless, cold, damp days stuck indoors
Conclusions
a To conclude, it is clear that while cities in some parts of the work! have reduced their emissions, other cities are increasingly more polluted due to industrial activity. The only way round this problem is to work together to protect the environment.
b If something is not done soon, an alarming increase in the number of young drug users is inevitable, which will undoubtedly have a harmful effect upon society as a whole.
c The negative role that television plays in the development of a child can be summed up with a quotation from the American architect. Frank Lloyd Wright: “TV is chewing gum for the eyes.”
d On balance, although moving abroad sounds like an end to all our problems, often it is not. In many cases, it can he far more difficult than living in Britain, mainly because it involves taking on a whole new culture and way of life.
6 a) What techniques has the writer used to begin/end the essay in Ex. 1?

3.

В main body paragraphs можно заменить topic sentences так:

• Para 2: Another important point is convenience.
• Para 3: Another advantage is the wide choice of products.
• Para 4: Finally, payment is also an important issue.

4a.

For: 2, 3, 6

Against: 1, 4, 5

• 1 – f can have a comfortable life
• 2 – e receive honours and awards
• 3 – d welcome you wherever you go
• 4 – c not sure who you can trust
• 5 – a followed everywhere by photographers
• 6 – b private character not fully understood

4b.

First, let us examine the question of wealth. Famous people often have lots of money, which means they can have a comfortable life. However, some people pursue them for their money, so they are not always sure who they can trust.

Secondly, being famous means being popular. Celebrities are admired for their achievements and people adore them, so they are welcomed wherever they go. On the other hand, they are often followed everywhere by photographers, which means they have no privacy.

A final point to consider is how recognition affects celebrities. They receive honours and awards, but they also have to keep up their public image. As a result, their private character is not fully understood.

5.

• 1 – b (problem-solution)
• 2 – c (objective statement / statistics)
• 3 – a (rhetorical question)
• 4 – d (rhetorical question + direct address)

6a.

The essay begins with a general statement and ends with a balanced summary.

6b.

Alternative beginning: Have you ever wondered whether shopping online is really as convenient as it seems?

Alternative ending: To conclude, online shopping has both advantages and disadvantages, so people should think carefully before buying anything on the Internet.

7. Sample essay

Nowadays, many people prefer watching films at home to going to the cinema. This trend has both advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, watching films at home is very convenient. People can choose any film they like and watch it at a time that suits them. In addition, they do not need to travel to the cinema or spend money on tickets, which makes this option cheaper and more comfortable.

However, there are also some drawbacks. The atmosphere at home is usually less exciting than in a cinema, where the big screen and sound system create a special experience. Moreover, at home people may be distracted by phones, family members or other things, so they do not always enjoy the film fully.

Another advantage of watching films at home is that viewers can pause the film, have a snack or even watch it again later. On the other hand, cinema visits are often a social activity, and going out with friends or family can be more enjoyable than staying at home alone.

All in all, watching films at home is convenient and inexpensive, but it cannot completely replace the atmosphere of the cinema. Both options have their own pros and cons.
