5.5 ESSAY - GETTING THE STRUCTURE RIGHT

Theory:

This is the basic answer we developed in the last section:

Some people believe we should not go abroad for our holidays, that it's better to spend our free time in our own country.

I don't agree.

I think that holidays abroad can be educational, economical and environmentally friendly.

BECAUSE

Cheap flights enable people to travel to go to other countries which wasn't possible in the past. students can get railcards which don't cost much, and visit other countries. Sometimes it costs less to travel abroad than at home.

Holidays don't have to be bad for the environment. Much of the journey can be done by ship, train or bus. Once there, accommodation may be in tents or in country houses that use little energy, with local travel by horse, by bicycle or on foot.

Young people need to learn about the world which they cannot do by staying at home.


The section for COMMUNCATIVE ACHIEVEMENT says that the concluding paragrah should be used for the writer to clearly express what he or she feels:

'Is there a concluding paragraph?  This sums up what the writer feels.'

So, the 'I think ...' part should be the conclusion. This gives the following document:
