Hellooo Friend :)
Do you agree or disagree?
To give responses for this task, you are to take a position, which is neither in total agreement nor total disagreement, but somewhere in between. Then, you should explain why...., And
you did it all. However, I didn't see you construct the structure of the essay appropriately. It's better to follow what Dumi and Pahan suggest how you construct the overall essay structure.
majority of the band 8 essays, people have not used the words 'For Example' or 'For Instance'.
...
I think it is
not all about '
For Example' or 'For Instance', or simply stated their opinion and gave reasons for that opinion, but it is a huge range, and more of it. When you peruse the IELTS band descriptor more closely ( click: ielts.org/PDF/UOBDs_WritingT2.pdf you will see these:
Identifying the question and answers all parts sufficiently, presenting a clear and well-developed position which is maintaned throughout the whole essay, and presenting main ideas which are relevant to the question, extended and supported with evidence/ examples.(Task responses)If you lack in one, then you'll mark in below.from Cambridge IELTS 7
What if there are 3 ideas or solutions.
Do you mean 3 ideas broken into three bodies of paragraphs?
Well, if you have a question that you don't like at all, then you can write with a 5-paragraph essay. You write one introduction, three bodies, and one conclusion. In the bodies, you will argue more on one side than the other by writing two content paragraphs arguing for and one against. This can help you write more words, but
some seems inefficient, by writing too many words. Uppsss.., remember, 40 minutes to finish your essay are a must :D
Look at what Pahan and Dumi suggests you with the structure (a 4-paragraph essay). With this structure, you are easy to develop your paragraph properly, one content paragraph for, and one againts. This is good for coherence and cohesion between sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph, and for which in the five-paragraph structure this is weak.
Hope this helps.
Anyway, I like your writing :)
