2. An opinion essay is a written work in which the writer expresses an opinion
and supports that opinion with facts and examples.
What are the 3 parts of opinion writing?
An opinion essay has three parts:
■ Introduction.
■ Arguments or reasons that support your view. (Body Paragraph)
■ Conclusion.

5. 1) The opening paragraph of the opinion essay should consist of three basic
parts: the hook, which draws the reader into the essay topic; the thesis
statement, which is the main argument of the writer clearly stated in one
sentence at the end of the paragraph; and the transition, which is a
sentence or series of sentences that connects the hook to the thesis
statement.
2) The supporting paragraphs of an opinion essay will all relate directly to
the thesis; the point of these paragraphs is to explain why the writer
believes his or her opinion on a matter is correct.
3) The conclusion of the opinion essay is one paragraph that essentially
summarizes what the essay was about. The goal for the writer is to give
the reader the vital information he or she needs to remember once they
finish reading the essay.

7. Introduction paragraph example:
Using phones in the classroom make students lazy.
Nowadays using phones at the schools have become controversial from
different investigations. People around the world have mentioned that
using phones in the classroom allow students to not pay attention and
have bad behaviour in class. In my opinion as a teacher in Ecuador, I
consider that students can get more skills and abilities using phones in
class for the following reasons, to search important information from any
task they need, students can work with their educatived platforms and it
helps in any emergency.
