Do The Advantages Outweigh the Disadvantages?

Posted on March 24, 2012

I was asked this question elsewhere on the blog today:

THE TASK

“More and more students are choosing to study at colleges and universities in foreign countries. Do the benefits of studying abroad outweigh the drawbacks?”

THE PROBLEM
The candidate asked the following question:

“From what I understand, this is a discussion essay that we need to write two body paragraphs which talk about advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad. I’m not sure how to conclude it. I mean, is it good to tell which side is outweighed or do I need to balance ideas as the question didn’t ask for an opinion.”
