2. Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion

#year #languages #people #life #world
It is argued that the annual extinction of many languages is not a problem because having just a few languages leads to a more convenient life. It is disagreed that the convenience of using just a few key languages makes the dying out of less spoken dialects acceptable.
This
 essay will
first
 discuss the importance of
language
 to culture and
secondly
 the fact that learning a few common languages is unrealistic, followed by a reasoned conclusion. A
language
 is not just a group of spoken
words but
Accept comma addition
words, but
 the key to someone’s culture.
Language
Suggestion
The language
 has evolved over thousands of years to reflect what it means to be from a particular place.
For example
, the Irish
language
 has one of the widest vocabularies in the world and reflects their tradition of storytelling. Despite
this
, English has become the
first
language
 of the Irish, as many feel it makes it easier to communicate with the world. By speaking just a couple of languages,
such
 as English and Chinese, you alienate billions of people throughout the world. English may be common, but it is not the ‘lingua
franca
Suggestion
Franca
’ many people think it is and it would take generations for everyone to learn it. Countries like Korea and Vietnam have been trying to adopt English as a
second
language
 for a long time, but most of their people still can’t fully grasp it.
However
, English has been the
language
 of business for a long time and it should be encouraged to help a country become more economically competitive. To conclude, commonly spoken languages may make life more straightforward, but
this
 should not be at the expense of less prevalent languages, in order to avoid the erosion of culture and the alienation of many countries

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
