It is inevitable that as technology develops so traditional cultures must be lost. Technology and tradition are incompatible – you cannot have both together. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe that technological development and traditions can hardly thrive together. From my perspective,

although

technology can truly have a bad influence on social customs, it

also

can be of great benefit in preserving cultures. On the one hand, modern generations have less social contact compared with their ancestors.

This

For example

, nowadays, people are used to congratulate each other’s on feasts and happy occasions by only sending memorized cell phone messages and emails. They really do not bother themselves by visiting relatives and friends or even calling them!

Moreover

, developments of mass media have transferred local traditions and habits on a global scale.

This

can be witnessed by the worldwide sharing of various traditional clothes and food which are no longer specific

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
