 or cooking food and so on. Not only that, but they would

 have more personal space and privacy for themselves, and

 have more time that they can spend to become a better person.
Moreover
, they don't have to adjust for the others with whom they would have been living with.
For example
, if someone is a night owl and would like to sleep late at night, if they choose to live alone, they don't have to worry that, they might disturb the other person's sleep.

 should have. They might

 lose sight of what they are doing, as, there is no

For instance

hence
 get insufficient sleep which would be bad for their health. In conclusion, an increasing number of people are choosing to live on their own, and though there are negative effects of
this
 decision, the positive ones outweigh as the individuals would gain independence.

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
