An opinion essay

Write a 4-paragraph opinion essay.

1Learn

Goal: Write a 4-paragraph opinion essay.

Intro (topic + your position) → Argument 1 + example → Argument 2 + counter-argument answered → Conclusion (restate + wider point).

2Template

[Intro: topic, why it matters, your position]

Firstly, ___. For example, ___.

Secondly, ___. Some people argue that ___; however, ___.

In conclusion, ___.

3Model answer

Should English be the medium of instruction in Kerala schools? The question matters because language shapes opportunity. I believe a bilingual model is the answer. Firstly, English opens doors to national and global work. For example, most Technopark job listings require fluent English. Secondly, Malayalam-medium education builds deeper understanding of concepts. Some people argue that English-medium is always superior; however, research shows children learn best in their mother tongue first. In conclusion, the goal should not be English or Malayalam but both — strong roots and open doors.
