    An opinion essay asks you to express and justify your own viewpoint on a topic, while a discussion essay requires you to explore and discuss both sides of an argument before presenting your own opinion.

Yes, prefixes and suffixes significantly change the meaning or grammatical role of a word. For example, the prefix "dis-" in "disagree" reverses the meaning, while the suffix "-ly" in "quickly" turns an adjective into an adverb.

 Practice by creating word families from root words. For example, from the root word "active", you can form "inactive", "activity", and "activation". Additionally, try reading academic texts and identifying prefixes and suffixes in new words.

Yes, learning prefixes and suffixes enables you to expand your vocabulary and understand word families. This will improve your ability to choose the correct word forms in both the Writing and Speaking sections.

Begin with an introduction outlining the topic and stating that both views will be discussed. Provide balanced body paragraphs for each viewpoint and then give your own opinion in the conclusion.

Start with an introduction stating your opinion, followed by body paragraphs each presenting a supporting argument with examples. Conclude with a summary that reinforces your viewpoint.
