Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social and practical problems. To what extent do you agree?

Having to communicate in a foreign
language
while residing in the country has been said to be a major cause for a variety of societal menace. I totally agree with
this
view because misunderstandings and sheer intolerance of foreigners when speaking can result into uproar in the community. The reasons for my view will be discussed below. One reason why I believe that talking in a foreign
language
while living in the land can cause pandemonium is that various forms of misunderstandings and misinterpretations are likely to emanate from speaking a
language
one is not familiar with. There is
also
a usual difficulty associated

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
