Different types of questions require different answering methods. Generally, there are two types of essay question types.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"content\">\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"20\">1.<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">The first type is discussion-type questions. These questions require you to present both sides of a controversial issue, and then present your own viewpoint. For example, with a question like the following:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<p class=\"content\">&#8220;Physical Education is a waste of time. Children under the age of sixteen should not be allowed to take part in sports at school and should spend all their time in academic study. Discuss&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">You don&#8217;t need to agree with the statement on this issue. All you need to do is first analyze both sides of the argument: pro (supporting the statement) and con (attacking the argument). In the final conclusion, you can present your own opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"content\">\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"20\">2.<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Another type of question requires you to identify some problems and propose solutions. Below is an example of this type of question:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<p class=\"content\">&#8220;Too many young people in our society are getting sick or even dying because of drug abuse. Why do young people take drugs? How can the problem of drug abuse be solved?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">This question asks you to identify the reasons why young people use drugs and the harmful consequences that drug use may cause. At the same time, it also asks you to propose possible solutions to this problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"content\"><strong class=\"subtitle\">Prepare a writing project<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before you start writing, you should spend at least five minutes completing a writing plan. This allows you to first brainstorm and organize some of your ideas. Sometimes, it&#8217;s a good idea to list a few main headings first, then put some of your ideas under each heading. You should write down key points rather than a full sentence\u2014remember, what you&#8217;re doing now is simply gathering and organizing your ideas. For example, if you want to explore a controversial viewpoint, you can first write two headings&#8212;&#8211; Pro, and list the agreeing opinion; Con, and list the opposing opinion below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\"><strong class=\"subtitle\">The structure of the article<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An organized article consists of three parts: introduction, the main body of text, and conclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">1. Introduction<br \/>\n The purpose of an introduction is fourfold: 1. It provides an overview of the topic and explains the central idea of the essay. 2. When the question asks candidates for opinions or suggestions, it can explain the author&#8217;s position in the article. 3. It provides more background information related to the topic. 4. It indicates what the author plans to state in this article.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">2. The main body of text<br \/>\n In this article, the ideas raised in the first paragraph are usually explained in more detail. In this article, you should write in paragraphs. Each paragraph should start with a topic sentence, which is meant to introduce the viewpoint to be expressed in that paragraph. For example, if you want to analyze both sides of the argument, the article should be structured as follows:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"content\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">Introduction (First Paragraph)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span class=\"content\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<p class=\"content\">Main article:<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">Statement of Opinion in Support (Paragraph 2)<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">Statement of opposition (third paragraph)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span class=\"content\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"content\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">CONCLUSION (Fourth Paragraph)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"content\">3. Conclusion<br \/>\n In this section, you summarize the views expressed in this article, and then move on to your conclusion or express your personal opinion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\">You can try practicing<br \/>\n with the following questions Now have a look at the following question, and try to write an essay answer:<\/p>\n<p class=\"content\"><strong><em>The threat of nuclear weapons maintains world peace.
