These days, advertisements in the form of T.V commercials, and social media paid content have become a new norm to send a message or sell products. The enormous impact of advertising has triggered a new debate questioning its positive and negative effects on individual

and life. In my opinion, despite some negligible drawbacks, advertisements have played an important role in bringing some positive changes in our lives.

This

essay will illustrate some of the possible drawbacks and many benefits of advertisements in our lives. On the one hand, beginning with the viewpoint of proponents, advertisements are an effective tool to bring many important cultural and social changes and breaking the stereotypes in any society.

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 summarize
Finally
In a nutshell

In some societies, obesity is regarded as a major problem. Some people believe that junk food advertising is largely to blame for this problem and should be banned.

The importance of junk food advertising has now become more controversial with many people claiming that it is harmful while others reject this notion. In my opinion, the latter proposition appears to be more rational. This essay will further elaborate my views for favouring the negative impact of this trends and thus will lead to a logically conclusion.

People have different views as to whether people may not be allowed to pay for goods in stores by cash and whether all payments must be done by card or electronic devices.

All the people in a company should be treated equally and provided with the same numbers of vacations in a year.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Vacations and paid leaves are regarded as basic rights among employees and employers in most companies in the world. While the amount of vacations one could obtain in a year varies between roles and positions, more people are demanding equal days of holiday between all of their working colleagues in the same firm. Based on the arguement, the paper will evaluate the benefits and weakneses of having equal count of holidays, and provide opinions in work life balance.
