3. Don't save any surprises for the conclusion; give your opinion in the introduction if
the question asks for it.
Here's an example introduction:
It is true that some people know from an early age what career they want to pursue,
and they are happy to spend the rest of their lives in the same profession. While I
accept that this may suit many people, I believe that others enjoy changing careers or
seeking job satisfaction in different ways.
I'll look at the main paragraphs next week.
Here are my 2 main body paragraphs for
Explain, Example" structure for the first paragraph, and a "Firstly, Secondly, Finally"
structure for the second.
Main body paragraphs:
On the one hand, having a defined career path can certainly lead to a satisfying
working life. Many people decide as young children what they want to do as adults,
and it gives them a great sense of satisfaction to work towards their goals and
gradually achieve them. For example, many children dream of becoming doctors, but
to realise this ambition they need to gain the relevant qualifications and undertake
years of training. In my experience, very few people who have qualified as doctors
choose to change career because they find their work so rewarding, and because they
have invested so much time and effort to reach their goal.
On the other hand, people find happiness in their working lives in different ways.
Firstly, not everyone dreams of doing a particular job, and it can be equally rewarding
to try a variety of professions; starting out on a completely new career path can be a
reinvigorating experience. Secondly, some people see their jobs as simply a means of
earning money, and they are happy if their salary is high enough to allow them to
enjoy life outside work. Finally, job satisfaction is often the result of working
conditions, rather than the career itself. For example, a positive working atmosphere,
enthusiastic colleagues, and an inspirational boss can make working life much more
satisfying, regardless of the profession

Today I'm attaching the full essay
2 weeks. Here are some points to notice:
•There is a clear 4-paragraph structure, and the essay is easy to read because the
ideas are developed in a logical way.
•The introduction is short, but it covers everything that the question asks you about.
•The main paragraphs make up around 70% of the essay. These paragraphs are the
key to a high score.
•The conclusion is very short, and simply summarises what I had already written.
Never put any new ideas in the conclusion.
•I focus on expressing my ideas well, using a range of relevant words and phrases. I'm
not thinking about 'complex grammar' or linking phrases.
