ED/ING ADJECTIVES
Many adjectives that are formed with past participles (e.g. interested) describe a feeling or state.

- I'm bored = I feel there is nothing that interests me at the moment.

Many Adjectives formed from present participles (e.g interesting) describe the person, thing or topic which produces the feeling.


- I'm boring = I'm a very uninteresting person.

Common -ed and -ing adjectives:

- shocked / shocking
- worried / worrying

Opinion essay

An opinion essay presents our personal opinion on a particular topic. We need to state our opinion clearly and support it with examples or reasons.

Introduction

In the first paragraph we present the topic and state our opinion clearly.

Main Body

In the second and third paragraphs we present our viewpoints and give reasons/examples. We present each viewpoint, with reasons/examples, in a separate paragraph.
In the fourth paragraph we present the opposing viewpoint and give examples/reasons.

Conclusion

In the last paragraph we restate our opinion using different words.

Example

Mobile phones at school
Nowadays more and more students bring their mobile phones to school. While I believe that students should carry mobile phones in case of an emergency, I am strongly opposed to phones being used at school, particularly in the classroom.
Firstly, many students travel to and from school without their parents. Therefore, it is important for them to have a mobile phone in case they need help or have an accident on the way to school or home.
Furthermore, parents who work may need to contact their children. For example, if a parent has to work late, the student has to be told if arrangements have been made for a relative or neighbour to look after them.
On the other hand, nothing is more disruptive during a lesson than the sound of a mobile phone ringing or playing an annoying tune. Moreover, students who send and receive text messages in class are not paying attention to the lesson.
In conclusion, I feel that students should be allowed to take mobile phones to school for use in an emergency. However, all phones should certainly be turned off during lessons.
