DISCUSSION ESSAY

 В Discussion essay - вам дадут две точки зрения и вам нужно будет обсудить эти
statements с точки зрения обеих сторон.
Есть 2 формулировки данного задания:

 "Completing university education is thought by some to be the best way to get a good
job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft
skills is more important. Discuss both sides."
 Значит, вам нужно в Body Pargraph 1 - обсудить с позиции "Completing university
education is thought by some to be the best way to get a good job." - вы будете писать
почему они так считают, какие плюсы у обучении в университете, и т.д.

Затем в Body Pargraph 2 - вы будете писать уже с другой стороны, с позиции "On the
other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills is more
important. " - почему они так считают, каковы их аргументы, приводить примеры .
 "Completing university education is thought by some to be the best way to get a
good job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and
developing soft skills is more important. Discuss both sides and give your opinion."
 во второй формулировке вам нужно будет делать все так же как в и первой, но
вам нужно будет также высказать свое мнение.
 Вы можете либо добавить параграф 3 - и высказать свое мнение касательно этих
двух statements в третьем параграфе. Например, можно сказать, что нужно
соблюдать баланс и обе стороны правы; также можно сказать, что одна сторона
более верная чем вторая - главное, вам нужно выразить свое мнение.
 Или вы можете в bp1 = рассказать про первую точку, и в bp2 – рассказать про
второе мнение, словно вы его поддерживаете.
 “Some people say that it is best to be loyal and to work for one company during

 Intro:
 ”The option of changing jobs has never been easier than in today’s world, and
workers often are torn between staying put or seeking new horizons. This new

to a personal decision. While this paper will outline the points for staying in one
company, the better option, in my opinion, is to change jobs due to inspiration and
new friendships.”
