在列舉正反兩方的立場之後，我們就可以動手寫作。以例題來說，我們可以採取四段文章的寫法。第一段介紹議題，第二段與第三段分別敘述正反兩方的論點，第四段則為結論。此外在寫作時，我們需變化句型結構或句子長度，以增加句型的豐富性。最後，我們需使用適當的連接詞(例如because、although與so)以及轉折語(例如however、consequently、for example)，以確保論點之間銜接的連貫性。範例文章如下：
There are many different opinions on the best way to reduce crime. The traditional solution is to be hard on criminals and put them in prison for a very long time. An opposing view is expressed by people with more modern ideas. They think that education and community work are the long-term solutions to cutting crime. So who is right – the traditionalists or the modernists?
People in favor of reducing prison sentences often argue that prisons should not simply be places of punishment. In traditional prisons, people learn a lot about crime, so when they leave prison, they will commit more crimes. Education, however, gives people the skills to get a job when they leave prison, which means that they will probably not re-offend. Part-time work experience in the community is also very helpful, as it is a step back into everyday life in society. People can be in prison, but they can also feel they are doing useful work.
On the other hand, some people argue that long prison sentences are right because the punishment should fit the crime. If, for example, someone commits a serious crime such as bank robbery, they should go to prison for a long time. They also believe that reducing prison sentences significantly reduces people’s fear of prison and consequently, people will commit more crimes. People will not be frightened of going to a prison which is like a university with learning and work experience opportunities.
In short, I agree that education and community work can have an important role in helping reduce crime, but there should be strict controls on the type of community work prisoners can do. It is important to understand that some people are a real danger to society and need to stay in prison for a very long time.
在寫完文章之後，我們建議考生留三分鐘左右的時間校對文章，確認拼字、標點符號，以及文法的正確性。
