Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Дули, Копылова 9 класс, Просвещение: 2i
Writing (an opinion essay)
1 Read the essay. Which paragraph:
1 re-states the writer’s opinion?
2 presents the opposing viewpoints + reasons/examples?
3 presents the first viewpoint + reasons/examples?
4 states the topic and the writer’s opinion?
5 presents the second viewpoint + reasons/examples?
The use of exotic animals in entertainment should be banned
A Surely using exotic animals for entertainment is a bad idea. Every year, thousands of wild animals are used in circus acts, stage shows and on film sets. In my opinion, this is a highly irresponsible practice that should be banned.
B Firstly, it is harmful to the animals involved. Circus animals in particular are often kept in cramped conditions. This unnatural habitat is not healthy for the welfare of the animal.
C In addition, using exotic animals for entertainment can be dangerous for the animal handlers. For example, sharks are very unpredictable and can attack at a moment’s notice.
D Alternatively, some people argue that proper safety precautions are taken when working with exotic animals. For instance, animal handlers are well-trained and there is often a safety team close at hand. This reduces the chance of serious injury.
E All things considered, I strongly believe that wild animals should not be used for entertainment. To my mind, a ban would protect the welfare of many animals as well as prevent injury to those working in entertainment.

2 a) Underline the writer’s opinion in the model essay.

b) Complete the table with information from the model essay.

3 Find the linking words the writer uses to:
1 list viewpoints:
2 introduce examples:
3 introduce opposing ideas:
4 add more points:
5 conclude:
Replace them with synonymous ones.

4 Underline and replace the topic sentences in the main body paragraphs with other appropriate ones.

3 Alternatively, some people argue that proper safety precautions are taken when working with exotic animals.
1 To begin with, it has negative effects on the animals in question.
2 Furthermore, using exotic animals for entertainment can put the animal handlers at risk.
3 On the other hand, many people believe that those working with exotic animals employ property safety measures.

5 Expand the ideas into complete main body paragraphs.
1 Snowboarding/dangerous many people have been seriously injured/unable to fully recover and continue participating in the sport.
Snowboarding/expensive special equipment is required/ not affordable for many people.
2 Martial arts/teach self-defence — participants learn how to deal with aggressors/boosts confidence
Kickboxing/health benefits -increases stamina and strength/ feel more active and alert.

6 Choose the appropriate linkers.
1 Sports such as bungee jumping can involve high risk. On the other hand, they are strictly controlled to avoid any serious or life-threatening injuries.
2 Most violent video games are given an age restriction because they contain content that is deemed inappropriate for children.
3 Extreme water sports like kayaking are not appropriate hobbies for children. To begin with, they place young people at risk of drowning.
4 Film stunts are often very dangerous to perform. Therefore, precautions are always taken to ensure the safety of the stunt artist.
5 I strongly believe that dangerous dogs should be banned. In particular, rottweilers and pitbulls are very aggressive animals that have attacked people in the past.

7 Use the phrases in the list to express opinions on the ideas below.
I feel that
The way I see it
It seems to me
My opinion is that
As far as I’m concerned
1 Exotic animals/not used/film stunts
2 Dangerous animals/not keep/pets
3 We/not allow animals/use/circus acts
4 Cliff diving/too risky/be banned
5 Martial arts/build discipline/be encouraged

8 Read the following extracts and say which of them are beginnings (B) or endings (E).
1 Would you let your children enter a boxing ring? Even though boxing can be a healthy outlet for aggression, I am totally opposed to young people participating in violent sports.
2 All in all, although skydiving is risky, I feel that individuals should be able to decide whether or not they would like to participate in this kind of sport.
3 Many people keep dangerous animals as pets. While these animals may be accustomed to human contact, surely there is a risk that they can suddenly become violent?

9 a) Read the rubric and match the reasons/ examples (A-C) to the viewpoints (1-3) they support.
Your teacher has asked you to write an essay giving your opinion on the following: Wild animals should not be kept in captivity. Write your essay (120-180 words).
1 unnatural way of life
2 protects endangered species
3 lack of space to roam
A some animals would become extinct without human intervention
B captive animals are often kept in cages, chains or small enclosures
C animals are unable to hunt or breed as they would in the wild

b) Answer the questions.

Surely wild animals should not be kept in captivity. In my opinion, this is cruel and unnatural.

Firstly, captivity gives animals an unnatural way of life. Captive animals are often kept in cages, chains or small enclosures. For instance, they are unable to hunt or breed as they would in the wild.

Moreover, keeping wild animals in captivity can harm their welfare. They do not have enough space to roam, and this can cause stress and suffering.

Alternatively, some people argue that captivity protects endangered species. For example, some animals would become extinct without human intervention.

All things considered, I strongly believe that wild animals should not be kept in captivity. To my mind, they should live freely in their natural habitat.
