Weekly essay: "'The importance of music for adults’. Discuss."
This is an argumentative essay, where you are using your skill at reasoning, backed up by carefully selected evidence to point out the advantages and disadvantages of a given context. Remember to arrive at a conclusion. It is a formal piece of writing, so use formal language: no contractions, no informal expressions. Use facts, evidence and reasons.  
Do not give your personal opinion in your arguments. So do not use I believe, I think... If you want to state your opinion, do this in the conclusion.
