Hi Lille, thank you for posting the questions. It helps me a lot.
The reported question ‘More and more people move from the countryside to big city. Does this development bring more advantages or more disadvantages to environment?’
I assume it is similar to advantages outweigh disadvantages type of question but I am not sure if I should write it in similar pattern or not?
Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, you can treat it as an “outweigh” question. But be careful with the language. Don’t use “outweigh” in your essay. Use “more” instead.
Hi Lille, Thank you so much for providing us such a useful website. Thank you.
By the way, may I ask if the points used in task 2 essay are not persuasive enough, even though they are still relevant, will our marks be deducted? I always have a problem in coming up the contents within a short period of time.
Hi, thanks for your comments. Whether or not an argument is persuasive is quite subjective. Could you provide an example that you think is not persuasive enough?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate what you have done.
You’re most welcome!😊
