What kind of essay?

Hi,

I have a problem determining the kind of essay I should write.For example,what kind of essay should I write responding to the following topics,and why?

1.''Do you think motorists who drive too fast in residential areas should be banned from driving?''

(I think I should write a presuasive essay with pros and cons)

2.''Do you think companies shouldn't allow employees to use working computers?''

(I think I should write an opinion essay ,with only the reasons why they shouldn't use computers.)

3.''Watching news on TV is better than reading news in newspapers.''

(I think I should write the advantages and disadvantages of each type ,or maybe a persuasive essay)

Please help me determine how to judge correctly which type of essay to write ?

Thanks
