6 WRITING • An opinion essay
I can arrange opinions in an essay.
THINK! What ways can people learn outside the classroom?
| Is school the best place to learn? There are many alternatives to school, such as homeschooling or studying online. But is school the best place for young people to learn? In my opinion, it’s better to learn in school for several reasons. Firstly, in school, students often have to work together, so they learn from each other and become sociable. Secondly, school students must obey rules. This provides a structured day where students attend class in a wide variety of subjects. They learn the importance of doing work on time and preparing for exams. This teaches them how to behave in society and future jobs. Finally, at school, students have the chance to participate in team sports and other projects that involve a group of people. To conclude, students learn many things and in many ways at school. All in all, I think school is the best place to learn. |  |
| 1 Study these ways of learning. Which ones help you to learn? Why?
2 Read the essay. What is the writer’s conclusion about school? 3 Which key phrases can you find in the essay?
