Comment writing Step by Step question: Does it sense to teach pupils about the benefits and dangers of social networks at school? 1.) Think about which aspects of the question are important (here: school, benefits and dangers, social networks) 2.) Take notes: Make a list of the different arguments in in favour of the question and against it and decide about your own opinion 3.) Make a ranking of the arguments (which argument isimportant which is not so important) 4.) Write the introduction either relating to recent events or discussions or to the text. If you are not sure how to put the question into your own words copy it. ("...") 5.) Start with the strongest arguments against your opinion: " I would like to look at the counter arguments first." Link the arguments with suitable phrases (furthermore, moreover....) 6.) Lead over to the pro arguments: "On the other hand we also have to consider the arguments in favour of the question." Start with the weakest argument and finish with the strongest (use linking phrases" 7.) Write a conclusion, stating your own opinion and give reasons for it. example: You can see that the positive arguments outweigh the negative ones and therefore come to the conclusion that it makes sense to teach young people about the benefits and dangers of social networks at school Construction of comment arguments ---------+ ++ ++++ ++++++
