General information
An opinion essay is a formal academic essay, which requires you to state your opinion (usually "agree or disagree") on a given topic.
You need to provide reasons and supporting details to convince the examiner of your answer.
There are 2 common approaches to write an opinion essay: 1 sided and balanced.
One-sided approach
A one-sided essay is an essay where your opinion is completely inclined to only one side of the argument, which means you either completely agree or completely disagree with the issue given in the topic. .
Always give 2 to 3 reasons to support your opinion, each of which must be analyzed and supported by specific details in each of the two or three paragraphs in the body.
You can also give two reasons to support your opinion, and the third paragraph can contain the opponents' opinion with your refutation. ln either case it will be a totally agree or disagree essay.
