Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
It is argued that some folks think that there are many options to choose in life, currently. It depends on a person’s status, which can lead to many or less pathways. 

 There are many categories of things to choose from. It all depends upon what someone wants. Nowadays, from careers to personal lifestyles to technology related stuff, I agree there are many considerable things.
For example

; a doctor has many sub-specialities to choose from, compared to the past decade. If a doctor has completed 2 years in FCPS Medicine training, over here in Pakistan, he is
then
Linking Words
given a choice whether to become a General Physician/Internal Medicine Specialist or opt for
further

sub-specialities like Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Dermatology, etc. In the past decade
such

options wouldn’t have been available. To add to
this
Linking Words
, there are even super-specialities as well, after completing FCPS training in a particular subject. Say a person has completed training in FCPS Internal Medicine,
then

his super-speciality options would be Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Cardiology, etc. 

 There are limitations when it comes to choices, if someone is not competent enough, especially career wise. He

For example

; an incompetent actor

be offered many movies,
thus

he would have limited scripts to select from. He
won’t

have many fans. He
won’t

be popular.
Hence

, it will tough for him to get what he wants, mainly due to less opportunities. 

 In conclusion, competence attracts too many options, but incompetence repels it.

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
