Write about:

– meat as a main ingredient of our diet


– vegetarians
– ……………… (your own idea)

Sample answer:
Most people think, myself included, that since animals eat other animals, it is natural for humans to eat meat.
However, some disagree, and a growing number of people are choosing to become vegetarians. So, what
rationalism stays behind these two beliefs.
You start with
Paragraph 1- Introduction
Here you include:
A general statement/rhetorical question (it’s already given on the topic; your task is to paraphrase it- use different
words or grammar structures). In the sample answer we’ve used ‘most’ instead of ‘some’, ‘believe’ was changed to
‘think’ etc.
Qualify the argument
Explain further and maybe try to show several sides of the issue, consider it from different angles, thinking, “This
part is right if… This is true, except when… This might work if… The reason this happens is because… The
underlying issues are…”
First of all, I would like to say that humans have always hunted and eaten animals. Maybe it is our natural
instinct inherited by ancestors that forces us to seek this type of food, however, it is undeniable, that meat is
rich in vitamins and protein, which help to build muscles and bones.
Paragraph 2:
Introduction = topic sentence – which states the general idea discussed in this paragraph

Advantage 1 —– Reason Advantage 1 ——- Specific example 1

Your Advantage 1- is the point mentioned in the task. In our sample answer includes the point about meat being the
main source of energy

Make sure you use the following phrases when writing paragraph 2:

Introducing the topic


First of all I would like to say that …
Introducing the topic
First of all I would like to say that …
The first point I would like to make is …
I would like to begin by …

However, if that is the case, then why ?
Advantages

The main advantage is that you are free to …
There is no one else to …
Then there is …
What’s more …
Another advantage is that …

Another point worth mentioning is the fact it is difficult to have a balanced diet without this crucial
ingredient. In order to avoid some health problems such as lack of energy or splitting nails we should make
lean meat a part of our meal.
Paragraph 3:
Introduction = topic sentence – which states the general idea discussed in this paragraph
Advantage 2 —– Reason Advantage 2 ——- Specific example 2

Your Advantage 2- is actually the point that hasn’t been given in the task. However, it’s the last point- your own
idea. and because I believe that meat is good for you, I included this point just after the 2nd paragraph- which is also
in favour of eating meat.

Make sure you use the following phrases when writing paragraph 3:

Introducing the topic


Second of all I would like to say that …
The next point I would like to make is …
I would like to add …
Many people think that …
Some people say/claim …
Why do some people believe ?
However, if that is the case, then why ?
Advantages
In the second place …
The other advantage is that you are free to …
There is no one else to …
Then there is …
What’s more …
Another advantage is that …
On the other hand, many vegetarians believe that eating meat is not only unnecessary but also unhealthy. We
can easily grow plants that give us all we need in our diet, moreover there are numerous shops which provide
supplements that substitute meat.
Paragraph 4:
Introduction -use topic sentence

Disadvantage 1 —– Reason Disadvantage 1 ——- Specific example 1

Make sure you include the other point mentioned in the topic and add your own idea + the following phrases when
writing paragraph 3:

Disadvantages
On the other hand …
Secondly, …
Another disadvantage is …
Last but not least, . .

In my view, there are strong health reasons for not eating meat. However, if we become vegetarians for moral
reasons, I think we should also not wear fur or leather.
Paragraph 5- Conclusion
Summarise your view using different words from the introduction. You might want to add some further comment.

Summarising phrases you have to use:
