When we write a balanced argument, or we need to develop an
argument, we most
certainly have to list reasons. The following linking words can
be of help: Firstly / In the first place / For a start / First of
all Moreover / On top of that / Secondly / What is more Lastly /

I will start by looking at the advantages of living on campus.
For a start, life is usually cheaper. For example, food and
accommodation are often subsidized by the university and students
who live off campus have to pay normal prices for everything.
Moreover, you dont have to deal with things that go wrong in rented
accommodation, such as washing machines breaking down or gas
cookers that dont work properly. The most important reason is the
time you save being so close to places like the library.
Consequently, you have much more time to study. However, there are
some disadvantages too. First of all, it is easy to spend all your
time on campus and because of that you can lose contact with the
real world. What is more, you dont have as much independence or
freedom on campus as off. For instance, you normally cant choose
what and when to eat. Finally, if you live on campus, it isnt
necessary to develop the same life skills as you would if you lived
off campus skills like managing the day-to-day running of a
house.
We also know the importance of a good conclusion in composition
writing. Lets work on a more specific technique to write a
conclusion in a balanced argument. A good conclusion generally
consists of: 1 A general, one-sentence summary 2 A focus summary of
the main points avoiding repetition of vocabulary 3 Something
new/your opinion Lets apply this technique to the composition
Advantages and disadvantages to living on campus:
To sum up, we must bear in mind that the main reason for being
at university is to study. Although it has some obvious drawbacks,
living on campus allows students
more time to study without the distractions and responsibilities
of rented accommodation. As a result, I would recommend people to
live on campus if they have the chance.
