One type of argumentative essay is that which gives advantages and disadvantages (For and Against). It is a formal piece of writing in which a topic is considered from opposing points of view.

A good essay of this type should consist of:

a) an introductory paragraph in which you state the topic. This means that you talk generally about the topic without giving your opinion;

b) a main body in which the points for and the points against. along with your justification, appear in separate paragraphs;

c) a closing paragraph in which you give either your opinion or a balanced consideration of the topic.

Note: In this type of essay writing, you must not include opinion words (I believe, I think, etc.) in the introduction or the main body. Opinion words can only be used in the final paragraph, where you may state your opinion on the topic.

You should not use: short forms (e.g. I'm, It's); colloquial expressions, phrasal verbs, idioms; simple linking words

“Advantages and disadvantages of being famous.”

Nowadays, many people interested in the star life and desire to be a famous. In addition, it is widely believed that famous people have a wonderful life with no worries or problems. But is being famous so easy? Some people are not aware of the fact that fame can bring either advantages or disadvantages.

One advantage is that people who are famous are usually financially secure. Firstly, they are often given free designer clothes, cars and jewellery by manufacturers who receive free advertising when these items are worn or used. Secondly, they receive first-class service wherever they go.  Thirdly, they have the power to inﬂuence other people and are even role models to many. Another advantage of fame is having domestic help and employ staff to take care of their business. They are also confident and secure as they are successful professionals.

The main drawback is that they seldom have privacy and often have to go out in public wearing a disguise so that they will not be recognised. What is more, many people take advantage of them and they often lead lonely lives as they never know who their real friends are. Besides, many end up having nervous breakdowns because of stress. Another negative aspect is that some live in fear of being or having members of their family kidnapped. People expect them to look glamorous and happy at all times, which is hard for celebrities to do.

All in all, it is my opinion that fame may be nice but not an easy thing to live with. It appears that even if you have money, you do not feel safe. Also, you have friends and fans but you can never be sure if they like you for who you are or for your money.
