As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Businesses have always sought to make

 it is becoming increasingly common to hear people talk about the social obligations that companies have

I completely agree with the idea that businesses should do more for
society
 than simply make money. On the one hand, I accept that businesses must make money in order to survive in a comparative word. It seems logical that the priority of any
company
 should be to cover its running costs,
such
 as

 wages and payments for buildings and utilities. On the top of these costs, companies
also
 need to invest in improvements and innovations if they wish to remain successful. If a
company
 is unable to pay its bills or meet the changing needs of the customers, any concerns about social responsibilities become irrelevant.
In other words
, a
company
 can only make a positive contribution to the
society
 if it is in a good financial health.
On the other hand
, companies

 with the sole aim of maximizing profits. They have a vital role to play in

For example
, they could pay a living wage to ensure that the workers have a good quality of life. I

 environmental projects and educative initiatives.
Finally

instead
 of trying to minimise their tax payments by using accounting loopholes, I believe that

 bosses should be happy to contribute to

the company
 should place as much importance on their social responsibilities as they do on their financial objectives.

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
