gcse english language paper 2 question 5

For this question, do you only write from one side of the argument or both sides? I feel like writing from both sides may detract from your point of view.
You can do anything you want because the questions asks about your view. So you can write I agree, I disagree, or I partially agree and then support both sides.

I have just finished my GCSEs and I was consistently receiving grade 9s. My opinion is that it is difficult to convey a well-thought out argument if you only write points that support your own argument. Of course this is necessary to advance but to supplement this, it is vital to also provide counterpoints to rebuttal the view of the opposition. If you would like me too I could send you a few of my essays to show how this can be applied to an actual exam question.

Yh ,I agree.For the counterpoints, you could say how some people may have a certain point, but you could explain why this viewpoint is wrong to make your argument stronger

Of course, I have attached a grade 9 example below that I wrote. My teacher scored it 37/40 so hopefully it should help you! The debate statement was "Should the police force be given guns on duty?"
