A lot of students usually travel or work for one year before entering the higher institution. While
this
 has several benefits and drawbacks
,
Accept space
,
in my opinion the drawbacks far exceed the merits. There are considerable benefits for the young
school
 leavers to work before gaining admission into the
university
 because
this
 will enable them to gather funds for their
university
 education as their parents may not be financially

tending to float on a liquid or rise in air or gas

 to sponsor them.
Hence
,

this
 will solve part of the student's financial problem.
Likewise
, travelling before gaining admission create room for them to inquire about the course they are about to take in the higher institution.
Moreover
, it will increase their interest in
such
 a course.
For instance

a trip to the hospital may spur the students to study medical related courses.
However

there are potential drawbacks for

 as it may take longer than a year thereby causing

 for the students.
Similarly

they may be exposed to unlawful practices

 as drugs, prostitution to mention but a few.
Furthermore

the students may no longer be interested in attending

the drawbacks to students travelling or working before entering

 seem to outweigh the benefits as the young
school
 leavers may not be interested in attending higher institution and the may partake in illegal practices.

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
