Introduce the topic and say
what you are going to talk about and capture the interest of the reader
Discuss one bullet point (perhaps
the one you disagree with) and give reasons to support your argument, whatever it
is. Point out advantages and maybe also disadvantages (on the other hand, it is
....). Use examples where possible.

You should give
your
opinion on which option you prefer here

- Avoid repetitions and contractions.
- Some teachers propose: 10 minutes for planning, 25 minutes for writing and 10 minutes for editing/proofreading.
