The example above is not related to your statement. May be you can ask your teacher to help answering this question about one's personal idea: "Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: 'only men themselves can bring happiness to each other'?".

Anyway, I know where's the confusing part. You guys are mistaking the term "formal writing" and "academic writing". Those terms does not apply to exam papers where open questions are sometime given to ask for one's personal idea, experience or judgement.

Such formal writing & academic writing terms should be refering to something like academic articles, books, dissertation projects, etc... instead. In these materials people usually does not wish to listen to your own assumption but to proven facts, thorough analysis, descriptions and definitions on the given topic. Therefore personalized statements should be avoided.

The problem here is that how you guys wrote essays, because pronouns are minor errors, comparing to another mistakes in the essay
And also there are plenty ways to "agree or disagree"

Sound weird, keeps, write, compare to, other, plenty of ways. hmmm, post 18th

You are making me confused, my writing teacher tells me not to search any sample from the Internet because most of samples there are not written properly for academic or formal writing or something else. So, I think I would rather listen to my teacher. And, do not, and, do not. And, I suppose that formal writing and academic writing are the same. And, post 19th

Thank u everyone

@Tuancoltech, If I were a native speaker, I wouldn't be here. And, did you mean to say " I am crazy about (not "of") your English "?
@vietht, I am sorry, but I am very bad at Vietnamese. Why don't you try Google Translator ?
