Hosts Share Personal Essay Experiences

- When a question asks "what are the main reasons" and "what consequences", treat it as causes and effects or a problem-solution essay.
- Plan to write causes in one paragraph and effects/solutions in the other to directly answer the task.

- If a prompt says "discuss both sides," write an argument essay covering both positions and then state your opinion.
- Put the side you disagree with in the first body paragraph and the side you agree with in the second for clearer structure.
