Benefits of travelling (Opinion Essay)

Level: B2
Topic: Travelling – Opinion Essay
Task Type: Writing

In this unit, students write a 150–200-word opinion essay about the benefits of travelling, learning to structure their ideas clearly and express personal viewpoints with coherence and fluency.

The activity reinforces B2 writing skills such as organizing arguments with sequencing linkers (First of all, Secondly, Finally, All in all), expressing contrast and cause (While…, For that reason), and using infinitives of purpose (to learn about new cultures).

It also exposes learners to natural B2 vocabulary (customs, open-minded, enriching experience, perspective) and idiomatic expressions like from all walks of life, second to none, and get a move on.

By completing this task, students improve their ability to write neutral, well-balanced essays, integrate phrasal verbs (set out, look around) naturally, and communicate personal opinions with confidence and sophistication—essential skills for exam and real-world writing contexts.
