FOR AND AGAINST / ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

THIS IS THE STRUCTURE WHENEVER WE WANT TO PRESENT BOTH, THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF A PARTICULAR TOPIC.


SOME OTHER TIMES, WE'D RATHER USE AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY. 
IT IS A MIXTURE BETWEEN OPINION AND FOR AND AGAINST. IT PRESENTS OUR PERSONAL OPNION AS THE BEST, AS IT TRIES TO PERSUADE THE READER.


Topic Examples:
How can Artificial Intelligence interfere in future jobs? Discuss.
Is Mental Health in Tenneage Years a challenge after Covid Pandemic?. Discuss.
The Dangers of Social Media and Fake Information is a fact. Give Arguments.

WRITING AN OPINION ESSAY

In an OPINION ESSAY, we present our opinion on a topic or statement and try to convince the reader that our opinion is correct. We do this by presenting reasons, facts and examples that support our opinion.
After analysing and brainstorming important aspects and ideas, remember to follow a structure as well using  both connectors and linking words for a successful cohesion and coherence.



Topic Examples:
What do you think about the use of Artificial Intelligence in your future job?
Mental Health, especially in Teenage Years, has been affected since Covid Pandemic. 
Social Media are the source of Fake Information, which is a real danger.

Linguistic Area Awards

Recently, we have awarded our most gifted students with MFL as well as their mother tongue in a really gorgeous ceremony inside our little and cozy library. Everything was beautifully arranged with some freshly cut flowers decorating such a memorable moment.
The Head of the Area, Miss García conducted the brief event along with Miss Arcalá, who proudly and happily gave out all the presents and diplomas to our students. 
Happy to pose, let me share a picture with my awarded and delighted students of Year 8 and Year 9. Elena Vega got the first prizes in Love Tweet category (both in Spanish and English), while Mercedes Marchal, Lorena Morales and Lara Ballesteros got special mentions in that category too. On the other hand, Lara Ballesteros also obtained a special mention for her Calligram in French. Unfortunately, she could not attend the awards' ceremony and missed the group picture.

AROUND THE WORLD!

Although still with many parts of the world enduring some kind of lockdown or restrictions, ESO1 is resolved to travel the world no matter what and here I am, trying to help. They will collect some information in a world map about those countries they are interested in explaining some key geographical features as well as the weather. Basically, they are trying to help out for a wise choice and enjoyment for future travellers, whenever that may be possible. You can comment and like their posts.
