Writing

The Hero Teacher

Some people think that university education should be free for everyone. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write only the introduction ( 2 sentences max). I'll provide feedback in the comments.

Could the intro say 'I support free tuition for students who cannot afford it, rather than for everyone'? Would that make 'partly agree' clearer?

Trying that position: 'Some argue that university should be free for all students. I agree only for those who cannot afford the fees, because access matters more than offering a free place to everyone.' Is 'only for' too absolute here, or does it make the limit clear?

'Only for' makes the limit clear. 'Mainly for' would change the meaning by allowing other students too. I'd keep whichever matches the position you actually want.
