It is often argued that knowing how to cook

food

is a necessary and

school

-going children should be educated about it.

However

, others feel that it is wastage of time at

school

This

essay will discuss both sides of the view and in my opinion, I agree with the latter as cooking is a tedious task for kids. Many people believe that

cookery classes

Suggestion

the cookery classes

if taught to kids will make them self dependant.

In other words

, Most of the parents are occupied at the professional front and at times do not prepare

food

for their children.

Therefore

, if students develop

this

skill that will not only ensure the intake of healthy

food

but

also

make them independent.

For example

, My mother who is a working professional unintentionally misses preparing a

mid-day

the middle of the day

midday

meal for me.

Consequently

, it makes me suffer as I am unaware of how to cook

food

However

, many people disagree and feel that teaching cooking at

school

will impact students academically. By

this

they mean, cooking consumes a lot of time and attention which can divert them from their studies. Resulting in a degrading academic performance of students. Take

school

syllabus,

for instance

, which is so vast that in order to complete the curriculum, schools often plan extra classes.

As a result

, Introducing cooking classes will

further

lower their score effectively. In my opinion, Educating cookery skills at

school

is indeed time-consuming and often needs a significant amount of preparation, making it really tough for students.

Additionally

, the various hazards associated with it makes it ill-advised/unwise to teach cooking at

school

. To Conclude,

This

essay discussed both sides of the view and stated that

school

should only teach subjects relevant to academics and leave cooking for their later stages of life.

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
