the aa or bb model

if you strongly agree, you could try this  aa model a. I disagree because another reason why the idea is wrong if you choose this approach, make sure that you can write 2 complete paragraphs with reasons and examples before you start.  this approach sometimes goes wrong because the two reasons are too similar and the essay gets repetitive.

the ab model

if you strongly agree or disagree you can also try this approach when there are two options in the question. Explain why the other option is worse/better reasons and examples this is really just a variation of the aa model, but the difference is that you look at both sides of the argument.

Explain that there are some problems too reasons and examples this approach can of course go wrong too often because the point of view is unclear. To get it right make sure that your overall opinion is clear in the introduction and that you start each paragraph with a clear sentence making it obvious that you are either going to write about  reasons why you agree or disagree.
