✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?

It is argued that sometimes it is better to lie in order to be on the safe side. There are some occasions for sure, where a person is forced to tell lies, in order to save himself, but I do not agree with it completely. I believe

truth

prevails in the end, most of the times. I disagree slightly with

this

Linking Words

notion that telling the

truth

Use synonyms

all the times is not essential. As they say

truth

Use synonyms

prevails in the end.

For example

Linking Words

; A husband had many love affairs in the past. If he doesn't tell his

wife

Use synonyms

about it, if his

wife

Use synonyms

asks about it, it will create an environment of mistrust between the two. If the husband openly shares it with his

wife

Use synonyms

, it will hurt the

wife

Use synonyms

for the time being, but with time she will be encouraged by the fact that her husband does not hide things from her. It will strengthen their relation.

Therefore

Linking Words

, I will always prefer telling the

truth

Use synonyms

all the times. In my opinion, there are some occasions where a person is forced to lie. I would agree a bit over here that sometimes it can help. I would still not prefer it though.

For example

Linking Words

; if a burglar tries to rob a house, where he asks the owner

gun point about hidden money,

this

is an occasion where he can lie to be on the safe side, because if he speaks the

truth

then

all his hidden money will be gone. In conclusion, it is better to try to speak the

truth

almost

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
