Finally, we come to the dreaded part two of writing for Isles. Never mind. If you have average intelligence and an intermediate level of English, you will do well with this. Don't worry. Let's get on with it. The really important things about Part Two writing for Isles, you have 40 minutes for this part.

Do not waste your time. start as soon as you can. Once you've committed to starting out part two, don't look around the room. Don't chew your pencil. Just get on with it. Stop planning your essay and I'll show you how to do that soon.

You must write approximately 250 words. Duty each remember how do you remember how to count the words As I showed in the previous lesson, right, we don't count them doing. We should by now already know how many words we write per line, and how many lines we will need. And we should have a pretty good idea of how much of the paper that takes up. Right. The examiner wants to easily see where each paragraph starts and ends.

Therefore, it's a very good idea to separate each paragraph with a blank line. And to make your essay more formal, you should indent the first line of each paragraph. There are arguments where people will say, you don't need to do both of these. I suggest it's a good idea to do both. That way no examiner can punish you for not doing either. Some examiners prefer indents some prefer the blank line, but if you do, but if you've satisfied them all If you present your essay without an indication as to where paragraph start may end examiner will not want to read it.

Presentation is very important in this section of Isles. So what do I mean by indenting and blank space? All right. Here is an example. Let's have a look at this question as computers are being used more in education, there will be soon no role for teachers in the classroom. And under that you can see the beginnings of the essay.

What do we notice? between the first and second paragraph there's a blank line at the beginning of each paragraph is an indent when the examiner looks at this he sees it's well set out he says to him so this candidate knows what is expected. That's great. It blank line indent got it. file to do this. You will file Can you see how easy it is for the examiner to locate with a paragraph start the timer the examiner won't bother with sloppy work if it looks as he expects the examiner will read it carefully to set you out, sets you above other candidates you're handed sloppy work.

Question How many paragraphs Should you write in a discursive or argumentative essay? And you should try to convert any essay you get in part two into this format. You'll hear different ideas on this. But what I've always taught, and it has always worked very well for my students, is that in an argumentative is a five. Five is the absolute magic number of paragraphs. Not four, not three.

Not more than five, but five. And I will show you why. So let's take a look at what goes in the five magic paragraphs that get the best score. Here we go planning your essay. If you file a plan, your plan file isn't any presentation or essay. This is the magic formula.

First, tell the reader what you're going to tell him or her. Next, tell me and then tell him what you just told him. This is the formula that wins, presentations and essays. Tell the reader what you're going to tell him. Tell him tell him what you just told you. Sounds a bit strange, but it's the formula that works.

Paragraph one, you have to restate the question. But use different words if you can. And also here you have to give an indication of your opinion. Then in paragraph two, you have to give an argument as to why the question statement maybe correct. In paragraph three, you then have to concede that the question statement may not be correct, and why that could be so. Here is the all important paragraph paragraph number four, the one that makes you better than other isles candidates Here's what you say why your opinion is the correct one.

And paragraph number five is the conclusion. you restate the question again and restate your opinion to try to use different words. If we go back to the formula that I said earlier, the three step formula, here's where it happens. Paragraph number one, by restating the question and giving your opinion. You're telling the reader what you're about to tell him in paragraphs, two, three and four, this is where you tell him all about it. And in paragraph number five by restating the question and restating your opinion, you're telling him what you just told him?

This is how yo Si for part two must be planned. And then next lesson, we're going to say what it is that you need to put in paragraph one. See you there
