a. Analysis of Issue:Content

　　How do I write a well-balanced essay?

　　You should always acknowledge both sides of an issue. Among the sample essays there is not one irrefutable essay, yet you must pick a side. The trick to doing this is to persuade the reader that, despite the counter-arguments, your position is the strongest one overall.

　　Try to straddle the fence between both sides of the issue by making limited use of qualifiers. This will allow you to acknowledge the opposing view and appear scholarly.

　　In general, take a politically correct opinion or an opinion that a majority of top scorers might take. However, if you do not think you can write an effective politically-correct essay, adjust your content to fit what you can comfortably express. In general, though, stay uncontroversial and balanced. Do not use it as a forum to be an ideologue. Writing a highly charged essay might evoke a bias from the reader and it also may confuse the E-rater, since you essay will not resemble any essays it has stored in its database. Try to approach each issue in a dispassionate and balanced manner.

　　Nevertheless, you must be sure to take a stand. You must pick a side that will win out in the conclusion/introduction. The test instructions specifically tell you to pick a side. Make sure to disagree or agree with the questions statement.

　　Note: Do not write an unsubstantiated opinion, write an argument that consists of your thesis and logical arguments to support it.
