1 SPEAKING Work in pairs. If you needed advice for a problem, what would you do? Discuss the options below.

go to an online forum    speak to a family member speak to a friend    speak to a teacher / other adult

2 SPEAKING Work in pairs. Read the task. Decide on an argument for and an argument against the topic.

Young people are increasingly looking online for solutions to their personal problems. Write an essay in which you offer arguments for and against using the internet in this way.

3 Read the essay. Do you agree with the conclusion? Why?/Why not?

4 Read the Writing Strategy. Then read and compare the structure in the essay. Are either of your views from exercise 2 expressed by the writer?

Writing Strategy

When you write an essay, you need to ensure that it

has a clear structure.

Paragraph 1: Introduction (stating the issue)

Paragraph 2: Arguments for the statement

Paragraph 3: Arguments against the statement

Paragraph 4: Summary, your own opinion

5 KEY PHRASES Look at the phrases below. Which ones are included in the essay?

Introducing one side of the argument

The first/second advantage...

It can be argued that...

No one can deny that...

On the one hand,...

It is also true that...

Furthermore, ... / Moreover, ...

Introducing the other side of the argument

However, ...

On the other hand,...

Although it is true that..., we should also remember

that...

Having said that, ... / That said,...

And yet,...

There are many internet forums and chat rooms for young people where they can discuss their personal problems with their peers. There are both advantages and disadvantages to looking for solutions in this way.

The first advantage of the internet is the huge amount of information on it. You can find an answer to any question you have, provided that you search correctly. And no one can deny that chat rooms can be very supportive and can help you to feel better. Even if you feel you are the only person with your particular problem, you will soon realise that there is always someone else who feels the same way.

So are there any disadvantages to using the internet in this way? Although it is true that there is a lot of information online, we should also remember that it is not always accurate. Moreover, teenagers in chat rooms are not necessarily the best judges of a situation. Even if you get advice, it may not be the most helpful advice you could receive. Finally, the internet is impersonal. People who you chat to online don't know you well, so they won't understand your particular situation.

In conclusion, even though the internet can be helpful when you have a problem, I don't think it is a substitute for speaking to the people in your life who know and care about you. Young people shouldn't forget to talk to the people that they have a real relationship with.

6 Read the Learn this! box. Then find examples of the rules in the essay.

LEARN THIS!

even though and even if

1 Even though expresses a fact, something real. It means 'despite the fact that...'

Even though John's house is small, he loves it.

2 Even if refers to an imaginary situation. It means 'despite the possibility that...'

Even if John won the lottery, he wouldn't buy a bigger house.

7 Read the task below. Make notes of some advantages and disadvantages.

Because of mobile phones, young people can usually contact a parent if they have a problem. Write an essay in which you present the advantages and disadvantages of always being in contact.

8 Write your essay (180-200 words) using your notes from exercise 7.

CHECK YOUR WORK

  • presented both the advantages and disadvantages?
  • followed the structure in the Writing Strategy?
  • included phrases for introducing arguments? 
  • used linkers where possible?
  •  checked the spelling and grammar?
