ESSAY
You might also see a question in the exam that asks you to discuss the
advantages and/or disadvantages of a topic. For example:
·

advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
·
New technologies have changed the way children spend their free
time. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
·
In many countries nowadays, young single people no longer stay with
their parents until they are married, but leave to study or work
somewhere else. Do you think this trend has more advantages or
disadvantages?
