It is thought by some people that the mainstream

 nowadays, is that students learn online rather than attend lectures at

.From my
perspective

perspective, this
this
 is a positive development as
this
 is an appropriate way of learning and more economical.
Firstly
, e-learning is more convenient for undergraduates.
This
 is because they can study where ever and whenever they want. Most of pupils have benefited from Internet courses where there is a vast amount of classes online which are reliable and helpful. While learning at

the university
 provides more interaction with their lecturers, pupils are hardwired to take online academic courses
instead
.
For example
, I have a friend from Lebanon who is studying engineering by attending online classes.
This
 is more flexible than going to the

 as he learns at their own place.
Secondly
, by taking subjects on the internet, a person can cut the extravagant

This
 is due to the fact that education costs are

whereas studying from your home is much less as you can opt the most critical classes you desire to attend.

you can save more time to study these courses.
Hence

I feel that e-learning is much easier and has less financial value.

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
