Introduction: the purpose and content of our writing is presented in two-three sentences.

Main body: two or more paragraphs will cover the topic. Each of them presents a separate viewpoint supported by reasons / examples. Ideas should be united with the help of linking words as: to begin with / to start with; personally, I think, to tell you the truth / frankly speaking, as a matter of fact, this would mean that, instead of, inspite of / despite, however, besides, what is more, in this way, although, such as, for example, in conclusion, so that, on condition that, finally, all things considered, etc. Avoid a ‘good-bad’ syndrom but use a variety of other adjectives and adverbs to make your writing attractive both to you and a reader.
