Some people do not go directly to college but travel or work for a short time. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages

#people #college #travel #work #time
Several people choose to not go to
college
 directly, whereas they spend a short time either t
raveling
the act of going from one place to another
travelling
or working. While
this
 trend has some disadvantages, I believe that it has more advantages. On the one hand, there are several drawbacks of spending a few years t
raveling
the act of going from one place to another
travelling
or working.
Firstly
, people can suffer some difficulty when going back to
college
. People are able to lose their momentum for going to
college
 owing to not studying during a gap
year
. As a consequence, they are prone to find it very hard to adapt to new educational settings.
Secondly
, People can be behind their peers.
For example
, becoming a physician may require eight years of education A gap
year
 eats up another
year
 that could be dedicated to an academic program. Despite the above-mentioned arguments, I contend that there are more advantages than disadvantages.
Firstly
, people can study better. Due to tuition costs rising, students normally can not afford increasing tuition costs. A gap
year
 provides them with a chance to work to earn a significant amount of money.
As a result
, they are likely to fully focus on their s
tudy
Suggestion
studies
without having to find temporary jobs when they start attending to
college
.
Secondly
, people may have better preparation for their jobs in the future. Because the most compulsory and optional subjects are o
rdinally
in an original manner
originally
ordinarily
full of theory in universities of some developing countries
such
 as Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Thanks to working in reality, people will gain real-world work experience.
Thirdly
, t
raveling
the act of going from one place to another
travelling
helps broaden people's horizon, especially those majoring in sociology. People will have opportunities to have a better understanding of society through travel. In conclusion, I believe that there are more benefits than drawbacks in the trend.

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
