Answer structure
Point / opinion + reasons+ examples + concession + conclusion (optional )

Example:
Why should children be kind to their classmates?
Point + reason 1+ reason2+ example+ reason3+ conclusion

Some people may disagree with me, but personally speaking here ,
there might be a couple of factors for this phenomenon

One factor might be that , by being compassionate , they can expand their
circle and meet people who have the same interest with them
Moreover, they are always prone to be reciprocated when they have a
heart of gold for example, participating in a group work allows them to
improve their ability at the same time they can boost their social skills .
Besides, I guess they are also born with innate kindness , thus , being
generous to their classmates is just a piece of cake for them.

Being kind - being generous / have a heart of gold / being compassionate

Reciprocated - get something in return

Innate - natural
