  • in your academic writing task 2. Well,

  • as you know, academic writing task 2 is a little bit

  • more broad more general in terms of topics

  • so you have to be able to use a variety of vocabulary

  • related to different topics, however, here are some useful

  • linking phrases you can use with any topic

  • given. Usually, in task 2 you analyse a topic

  • by discussing about the advantages

  • or the disadvantages or both so here are some useful phrases

  • you can use when you describe, when you discuss about

  • advantages. Okay so if you're going to talk about

  • for more than one advantages you can begin the first paragraph of the main

  • body like that

  • the first advantage of

  • this is something

  • for example you can say the first advantage of... I don't know

  • exercising is the fact that you can keep

  • fit, the fact that we keep fit alright?

  • another way to say the same thing would be there are many advantages to

  • exercising and one of them is keeping

  • fit, alright another way of stating an advantage

  • and of course if you want to talk about results

  • at the same time would be the positive aspects

  • of are... the positive aspects of exercising are

  • keeping fit; losing some weight

  • et cetera et cetera you can put anything there

  • or you can use you can also use the positive points include

  • okay if you want to state more than one advantages

  • you can use the phrase another positive

  • aspect is

  • another benefit is or

  • another advantage is of course I give you all these options

  • in order for you not to use the same words

  • all the time and of course if you're talking about

  • a topic that the advantages are more than the

  • disadvantages you can state it

  • in this way; the benefits or the advantages are far more than the disadvantages

  • Now, let's see some useful phrases

  • you can use when you discuss about disadvantages

  • okay when you state disadvantages you can use the same

  • phrases that we already talked about in the advantages

  • section but of course you can change your vocabulary so let's check

  • them out

  • if you're talking about the first

  • disadvantage you're going to argue about in your first paragraph

  • of the main body you can start the paragraph by saying

  • the first disadvantage of smoking for example

  • is that it is bad for your health

  • other phrases would be there are many negative aspects and one of them

  • is that it is bad for your health

  • the fact that it is bad for your health you choose your phrasing

  • the drawbacks of smoking are

  • instead of saying disadvantages

  • all the time or you can also say the negative points

  • include if you are going to state more than one disadvantage

  • you can say another disadvantage is

  • or one of the major disadvantages is the fact that

  • smoking is very bad for your health also

  • if you want to talk about results you can put it this way

  • a negative consequence of smoking is...

  • many illnesses that are associated with it

  • for example

  • again you can you can change these phrases

  • anyway you like according to what you're talking about

  • and of course if there is a topic that the disadvantages

  • outweigh the advantages you can state it

  • in this way just an example the disadvantages

  • are far more than the positive aspects or the advantages

  • in this case okay and now last but not least let's see some useful phrases you

  • can use

  • to express your own personal opinion on the topic

  • of course there are various ways you can state your opinion but here

  • are the most common ones

  • you can say in my opinion never forget
