If a practice question asks you to discuss both views, explain why someone might reasonably hold each view before deciding which is stronger.
Give both views a reason
Take this original prompt: some people prefer that cities invest in buses; others prefer cycle lanes. Buses can cover longer journeys for people who cannot cycle. Cycle lanes can make short trips safer and more convenient. Write a reason for each side before you add an example.
Make your position specific
Instead of writing “both are good”, choose a condition: buses are the stronger first investment in areas where residents travel long distances, while cycle routes can complement them in compact neighbourhoods. This position does not require dismissing the other side.
Frequently asked question
Should both sides have exactly the same length?
No. The practical check is whether both sides have a reason and explanation, not whether their word counts match.
