Environment & Industry (For-and-Against Article)

Level: B2
Topic: Environment & Industry — For-and-Against Article
Task Type: Article (Writing)

In this worksheet, students practise writing a for-and-against article on a realistic social and environmental issue, learning to present balanced arguments and maintain a neutral yet analytical tone — a key B2 writing skill.

The task encourages learners to use discursive structures (on the one hand / on the other hand, while advocates argue that…, concerned citizens believe that…), rhetorical questions to engage readers, and a call to action at the end.

It reinforces B2 grammar and cohesion, including contrast and condition linkers, passive forms, and noun phrases for argumentation (economic growth, environmental impact, potential risks). Students also develop topic-specific vocabulary related to the environment, economy, and community life, fostering clear and persuasive written communication useful for exam and real-world contexts.
