The Type of Writing You Will Often Find To What Extent Questions


Knowing how to write an agree or disagree essay is very important because if you get this type of task question in the test and you don't know how to approach it, you might not get a very high score. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
A is often written using the third person singular such as “it, she, he, and they”. The restriction of expository essays to just the third person is a major reason why it often does not ask “to what extent” questions. Can you see how these are similar to my question at the beginning? Both include a statement (= a sentence expressing an opinion) and ask you to what extent (= how much) you agree or disagree with it. You have to clearly illustrate limitations to whatever you write in your first sentence, so as to give an argument and not focus on just one side cause then its imbalanced.
so its:
first sentence directly answering the question on a theme: partly, fully..
whilst
but in reality..
therefore (insert sentence which overall sums up what you think)

edit: im not particularly oxbridge material and am extremely tired so i dont know if i wrote ****, but i tried i might post a bit later on if i come up with something else After you’ve carefully read the task question and understood the topic, the first thing to do is to ask yourself to what extent you agree or disagree with the statement. There are three possible cases: When I assign questions like this, I expect to see my students examine bothsides of the issue. I expect them to provide reasons why the statement isuntrue and why it is true. So, with the Romeo and Juliet example, Iwould expect a student to provide reasons why the two main characters wereresponsible for their own deaths, but I would also expect to see some blameplaced on such people as their parents and Friar Laurence. With the WWIIquestion, I would want to see discussion of the importance of the UScontribution, but I would also expect students to discuss how important Sovietinvolvement was and how badly the Soviets weakened the German military. I,personally, do not expect students to give a specific answer to the “to whatextent question.” I do not expect them to say that the US was, for example, 70%responsible. If a student concludes that the US was more responsible than anyother country, that is enough for me. However, different instructors may havedifferent expectations. It sounds really obvious, but lots of students have trouble answering questions because they don’t take time to figure out exactly what they’re expected to do – instead, they skim-read and then write the essay they want to write.
Sussing out a question is a two-part process, and the first part is easy. It means looking at the directions the question provides as to of essay you’re going to write. I call these ‘command phrases’ and will go into more detail about what they mean below. The second part involves identifying key words and phrases.

One area where I see many students have a problem is in the introductions to IELTS To What Extent essays. So, in today’s blog, I want to show you the TWO DIFFERENT TYPES of To What Extent questions (yes, that’s a surprise!) and how you can customise your introduction so that it 100% targets the question.

Let’s start by showing you the problem. I want you to read the following question and the student’s introduction and see if you can identify what they have done wrong (the question is from my ).

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Two sentences are enough here. In the first sentence you should paraphrase the task question. In the second sentence say if you (partially) agree/disagree so you immediately let the reader know what you think. Why these paragraphs? A paragraph contains ideas about a single subject and using them will make your essay organised, structured and easy to read. When writing an agree/disagree essay there are, again, three possible options: Remember: it’s much better to have few well-developed ideas than a lot of poorly developed ones, so when you write the paragraphs make sure to give reasons, examples and details. All these must be relevant to the reason you agree/disagree. Again, keep life simple and write one or two sentences only. You should briefly repeat and summarise your answer to the question. Don’t introduce information that you didn’t mention in your paragraphs before. We need a conclusion to conclude right? So, don’t introduce other reasons or topics at the end of your text. Do: Don’t: Hope this helps you with your writing. Good luck!
