U
Today I'm going to write a paragraph about gun control. I'll start with some
vocabulary ideas, then I'll make them into full sentences.
Ideas: why should the ownership of guns be limited/controlled?
1.
Topic sentence to introduce the idea of gun control
2.
risk of accidents, danger to children
3.
more violent crimes, criminals will use guns, police will need guns
4.
higher suicide rates
5.
guns create violent societies
Here's my paragraph using the ideas above. I've divided the paragraph into separate
sentences so that you can see what I have done more clearly.
1.
In many countries, gun ownership is strictly controlled.
2.
Supporters of this policy point out the risk of accidents with guns, especially
when children can gain access to them.
3.
They also argue that the number of violent crimes increases when guns are
available, and that police are forced to use guns to combat armed criminals.
4.
Furthermore, suicide rates have been shown to rise in places where guns are
legal.
5.
All in all, gun control advocates believe that guns create violent societies with
high murder rates.
Of course, in the IELTS exam you would probably have to explain the opposite view:
the arguments in favour of gun ownership.

they are using, plus some ideas that we had for each paragraph:
