1. What does an opinion essay consist of and what style is normally used? Read the theory to find out.
When writing an opinion essay, we present our personal opinion on a particular topic supported by reasons and/or examples. This type of essay is written in a formal style. We use formal linkers, impersonal tone and passive structures. We should avoid colloquial expressions, short forms and personal examples. An opinion essay consists of:
• an introduction in which we introduce the topic and clearly state our opinion;
• a main body consisting of three paragraphs. In the first two paragraphs we present our viewpoints supported by reasons and examples. In the third paragraph we present the opposing viewpoint. We connect our points with appropriate linking words. We start each main body paragraph with a topic sentence;
• a conclusion in which we restate our opinion in different words.
2. a) Read the rubric. What do you have to write? Who will read it?
An international student magazine is asking for essays on the following topic: Teenagers today are hooked on technology. Is this a positive or a negative thing?
Write your essay, giving your opinion.

Gadgets make life more enjoyable for teens.

Technology has taught young people new skills.
3. Read the essay. What is the writer's opinion and in which paragraph(s) is it stated?
1 If you are a typical teenager today, you use your headphones or air-pods to listen to music on the way to school, you text your friends all day and then surf the Net, send emails, instant messages or play on your games console in the evenings. In my opinion, teenagers are completely hooked on technology and I believe this has a positive effect on their lives.
2 To start with, using the gadgets and devices that are available because of new technology makes life more enjoyable. For example, e-books or air-pods make travelling more entertaining. In addition, media devices such as mobile phones and laptops allow access to information and entertainment and make communication easier and faster.
3 Secondly, technology is a valuable resource that has allowed teens to learn new skills. For instance, many teenagers today are able to multitask and do research using the Internet. Furthermore, they have leamt keyboard and computer skills that will help them at school and later in their working lives.
4 On the other hand, there are those who believe that technology has had a negative effect on today’s teenagers. They say that teens become distracted and waste their time with their gadgets instead of concentrating on more important things such as schoolwork. As a result, teens become antisocial as they prefer to communicate digitally instead of face-to-face.
5 In conclusion, teenagers’ use of gadgets and devices enriches their daily experiences in many ways. As technology advances, I think teenagers will be better prepared for the future.
