For-ond-against essays are a type of discursive writing in which you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a specific topic. A for-and-against essay should consist of:
• an introduction in which you present the topic, making a general remark about it without giving your opinion;
• a main body with three paragraphs in which you state and justify the arguments for and against the issue in each paragraph.
Each argument is supported with justifications or examples;
• a conclusion which summarises the pros and cons and gives a balanced consideration of the topic (In my opinion/view, I believe, I think, etc).
For-and-against essays are normally written in a formal style; therefore, you should avoid using personal language (I know, I am sure), contractions (I've got) and colloquial expressions or idioms (What's up?).
2. Read the rubric and find the key words, then answer the questions.
You have had a class discussion about the Internet as a homework tool. Your teacher has now asked you to write an essay presenting the arguments for and against it.
1 What type of essay should you write?
2 What will your essay be about?
3 What style should you use?
4 What points should you include in your essay? Discuss in pairs.
3. a) Read the essay. Copy the table and complete it. Were any of your points in Ex. 2 mentioned?
1 In our modern, high-tech society and with 24-hour access to the Internet, it’s no surprise that children are using homework-help websites more and more.
However, there are arguments for and against using the Internet as a homework tool.
2 First of all, we will look at how easy it is for students to find the information they need. In particular, there are many websites with high-quality school-level essays on every subject, which can be very helpful. One drawback is that it creates a temptation for students to cheat. They can ‘cut-and-paste’ answers, instead of reading and thinking about the subject for themselves. As a result, they will be unprepared for exams.
3 Secondly, we must consider the quantity and quality of the information. Type in any key-word into a search engine and you will see thousands, if not millions of ‘hits’. However, few of these are reliable sources. Many are not written by experts and contain incorrect information. Therefore, students can become confused and misinformed.
4 Thirdly, we should think about how the Internet can help poorer students. Their school may not be able to afford libraries or many books, but online access can reduce this problem. On the other hand, some students may not have a computer with an internet connection at home on which to do their homework. Therefore, those students who cannot afford these advantages may fall behind.
5 All in all, I think that the use of the Internet as a homework tool is a welcome and useful development. Unfortunately, though, it is not free from risks and
we must bear those risks in mind if we want students to get the most from the Internet.
b) What is the writer's opinion on the subject? Which paragraph contains his opinion?
