If I want to correct a mistake later on, how will I remove the mistake without starting over or having a messy phrase on the sidelines with an arrow?

hi! I love your videos :) I'm learning a lot with you! I'd like to ask you something as I am preparing myself for the FCE (self study) but I can't quite get if we need to state our opinion in the intro (you said we have to) and in the conclusion or only in the conclusion (I have found info about both). I found in the Cambridge website that it's in both parts but then in their examples it is not showed... It says: "Introduce the topic using a general statement and give your opinion. Say whether you agree or disagree with the statement." and "Summarise your ideas and repeat your opinion using different words to provide a strong conclusion". I'm basically writing it in both, but wanted to make sure this is ok! I'm assuming it is not essential, but recommended? thanks!

Hi! I have a question. As we know essays should be formal. But what about using first person or second person/people in an essay? Is it too informal for an essay or it’s actually allowed?

Let’s say in a Task like “There are more reasons to learn a language than to pass a test. Do you agree?” If I write an intro like that: “The world around us is vast and multicultural, and languages are intrinsically part of it. I truly wish to become a polyglot one day, for I believe languages bring countless benefits in various areas of our lives”.

Is ok to say “around us”, “our lives”, “I truly wish” or “I believe”?

Where are you from ?
Thank you very very much

i think part 3 is missing. Part 4 should be the conclusion
