When to give your opinion for writing TASK 2

In many cases, you are asked to give your opinion in your essay. However, you will lose marks if you present your personal point of view in an essay that does not require an opinion.
Let's take a look at some possible questions that might appear in the task:

- To what extent do you agree or disagree/Do you agree or disagree?
- Discuss both views and give your opinion
- Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
- Is this a positive or negative development?

These are the questions that ask for your opinion.

And the following questions are those that DO NOT require personal views.

- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages
- What are the benefits and drawbacks/What are the advantages and disadvantages?
- What are the causes? What are the solutions?
