IELTS Writing Task 2: disagree but give both sides 
In last week's 
lesson
I explained that we sometimes need to 'disagree' if we want to write a balanced 
answer. I'll demonstrate how this works below. 
Question:
Although more and more people read news on the Internet, newspapers will remain 
the most important source of news. Do you agree or disagree? 
My introduction:
The Internet is beginning to rival newspapers as the best place to find information about what is 
happening in the world. I believe that this trend will continue, and the Internet will soon be just as 
important as the traditional press. 
My conclusion:
In conclusion, I disagree with the view that newspapers will continue to be the main source of news, 
because I believe that the Internet will soon be equally important. 
Note:
Remember that I'm disagreeing with the word "most". By arguing that the Internet will become equally 
important, I can write about both newspapers and the Internet as sources of news.
