5. People believe that being literate in English allows you to acquire better jobs and thus allows one to have access to a better standard of living. Up to what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

#people #english #jobs #access
The world has changed into a global village, and that requires an international language to communicate with each other. As English is one of the most spoken languages throughout the world, many people think that if someone acquires good command in
this
 subject,
then
 it will bring growth in his way of living. I fully concur with the notion because it opens up the door to work and settle in another country. It is a well-known adage, 'the sun never sets on the British Empire', and now the same goes to their native dialect. So, it has been seen as advantageous now as it has opened up the door of education and job at a global level; irrespective of the nationality of student and employee respectively. To illustrate, many call centres, for customers based in Europe or the USA, are working from India.
Also
, students are travelling to Harvard or Cambridge universities for
further
 research and development.
Furthermore
, it is irrefutable to say that immigration is surging year by year owing to the fact that common man needs the place where he can have good infrastructure, better governance and rights of freedom. All of these factors can be easily found in developing countries. As these nations do have English as their
first
 or
second
 main language,
thus
 it provides the speaker with a chance to immigrate there.
For instance
, the highest number of immigrants living in Canada and Australia is from India looking for a better and stable life. In conclusion, good command over English can bring the better opportunity of not only to study and work freely across the globe, but
also
 one can easily settle down in developing nations having a sense of freedom.

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
