The importance of studying

history

Use synonyms

and learning from it was always been considered one of the most heated topics. Indeed, there are different points of view: someone thinks that

history

Use synonyms

cannot teach anything, while others argue that it is a teacher of

life

Use synonyms

from which everybody can learn, in order to avoid the same mistakes and create more rightful societies. I personally believe that studying

history

Use synonyms

is the best way to improve human’s

life

Use synonyms

and understand the world where we live.

Consequently

this

essay will focus on both opinions and it will explain my point of view. It is well known that

life

goals are not the same than in the past and

this

led to think that

history

Use synonyms

cannot give us a lecture of our lives.

In contrast

Linking Words

, in my view, our lives and societies are only the development of historical events and only learning

history

can give us the key to understand modern times.

For instance

, many technologies of our times derived from past discoveries,

thus

, knowing

history

can let us understand why and how we use

such

tools.

In addition

, studying our and others’ past allows to avoid

such

horrible mistakes and improve our society. I believe that, if we do not know

world’s past

Suggestion

the world’s past

, we will always turn around the same mistakes without learning how to avoid them.

For example

Linking Words

, if we did not study political and economic

history

Use synonyms

we could not realise society’s achievements and we would not give the right importance to our freedom and democracy as well as we would not understand the reasons of economic crisis.

This

means that we could not avoid economic crisis in the future as well as we could lose our democracy without realising it. To conclude, there are many people who think we do not need to learn

history

, but I firmly believe that without knowing our past we cannot have a better future.

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

Many students around the world don’t choose science subjects at university. Give the reasons for this and describe the impact on the community?
Science may be one of the most interesting and complex subjects to learn. However, it is a fact that most university students do not pick science as their top subject. This could be due to various reasons such as the level of difficulty or the lack of well-paying jobs in that field. I will discuss the various reasons in detail in this essay.

Some countries spend a lot of money to make bicycle usage easier. Why is this? Is this the best solution to traffic congestion.
With the consequences of global warming becoming increasingly obvious, many countries invest generously in their bicycle programs to achieve the goal of "carbon neutralisation". Although this movement is mainly out of concerns about climate change, it to some degree alleviates traffic congestion in cities, especially in developed countries.

car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past 30 years that many cities in the world are now 'one big traffic jam'. how to do you think this statement is? what measures can government take to discourage people from using their cars.
Vehicles are popular in the cities, almost houses have 1-2 cars at a result to traffic congestion in the road. I agree with this message because they need plan to leave home to office before 7.00 a.m. thus, avoid to travel in rush hours. So, the state should have managed problem for reducing cars on working days immediately.
