How to write an opinion essay:

The aim is convincing the reader that what you're saying is correct. You have to give reasons and examples to prove your position.

Does fame bring happiness?

1st paragraph: Introduction. Say what you think about the them and give your opinion agreeing or disagreeing with it.

Since we see all famous people happy faces on the media, it seems to suggest that fame brings us happiness. But how does it work? Are they actually happy? Has fame brought them happiness? Or are they just faking? In my opinion, fame brings happiness, but not to everyone.

2nd paragraph: Explain your reasons. You have to give examples tu support your point of view. Eg: I think that..., In my opinion..., In addition...,

The first point to consider is the different types of people, since evidence proves that not everyone’s happy with the same things. So, does fame bring happiness? Well, if one person loves money and material things, being famous is a good way to be happy. And if someone likes to be recognized in every street of his city, yes. But, what if someone does not like those things? What if someone needs to be unknown to be blissful? Then fame cannot bring happiness, since it brings him just the opposite of what makes him happy.

3rd paragraph: conclusion. Make a summary and restate your opinion. To sum up..., In conlusion..., In short..., 

To sum up, fame does bring happiness, but no to everyone, because not everyone likes the consequences of being famous.

USEFUL LANGUAGE:

It is probably true to say that...
There can be no doubt that...
It is simply not the case that...
It is widely believed that...
No one would dispute the fact that...
It is generally agreed that...
It has been suggested that...
A recent survey proved that...
Al the evidence suggests that...
